(Clearwisdom.net) A practitioner in Stockholm, Sweden's capital, met an inmate on leave from prison in the subway and gave him some introductory material on Falun Dafa. He read it and asked if she would like to come visit him at the prison and teach Falun Dafa. They met again in the subway some time later, and the practitioner decided to accept his offer. She contacted the prison staff and made an appointment. Later, some practitioners went to the prison together to talk with the staff about Falun Dafa. After clarifying the facts to them they were told that they were free to make any arrangements they wanted.

At first they gave an introductory class in which they demonstrated the exercises and told inmates about Falun Dafa and how in 1999, China's former President Jiang Zemin banned the most popular qigong-practice in China's history as he was jealous and afraid of losing people's hearts, hearts that were his by fear and terror. The inmates could hardly believe the harsh situation for illegally detained practitioners in Chinese prisons. After the class, several inmates showed an interest in attending a video screening of Master Li Hongzhi's nine-day lecture. The practitioners also donated some books to the library and the inmates who wanted to read the books but did not have the money to buy them.

About fifteen inmates attended the seminar. One of them read the main book of Falun Dafa, Zhuan Falun, in one night and asked many questions. After watching each video lecture, discussions were held discussing people's understanding and experience of the Falun Dafa principles: Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. Many inmates called their relatives and told them about Falun Dafa, and most of the inmates that attended the whole seminar had just a short time left before being released and told the practitioners that they would go to one of the practice sites in Stockholm when they were free.

During the last day of the seminar one of the inmates came to thank the practitioners and asked them to come back again. He said he found it really amazing that they gave up our free time to go to the prison. The prison staff also started to show interest in the practice and asked the practitioners when they would go and introduce Falun Dafa to them.
