Switzerland: Clarifying the Facts about Falun Gong to Chinese Tourists in Lucerne (Photo)

Dec. 17, 2007 |   By a Swiss practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) After the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published three years ago, many Falun Gong practitioners have been promoting it to the Chinese people. They hope that after reading the Nine Commentaries, people will know better how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has persecuted the Chinese people and will thus help stop the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

In Lucerne, a well-known tourist city, Falun Gong practitioners distribute literature every day. Over the past two years, they have been distributing the Nine Commentaries to Chinese people and urging them to quit the Communist Party and its associated organizations.

At the beginning, some people did not understand why practitioners were doing this, and they were worried that this might disturb people, so they reported the practitioners to the police. The practitioners told the police and the Mayor of Lucerne that Falun Gong practitioners in China are suffering inhuman persecution just for their firm belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." They explained that many Chinese people do not know anything about this persecution because the CCP controls all the media in China and does not allow the Chinese people to know the truth.

The publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party has enabled a great number of people to see clearly that the CCP had never stopped deceiving the people and had never stopped persecuting the masses. They also learn that the persecution of Falun Gong was initiated just because the CCP could not tolerate Falun Gong teaching people to be good. The more people who know about the persecution of Falun Gong, the more people will call for the persecution to end. Therefore, Falun Gong practitioners go out to distribute Chinese truth-clarification newspapers and the Nine Commentaries to help people to see the facts and help stop the persecution. After talking to the practitioners, the Mayor and the police issued a special permit allowing Falun Gong practitioners to distribute newspapers at any time.

  1. "Will Master still take care of us?"

During the activities, practitioners met an older couple from mainland China. The husband was a Director-General. As the Falun Gong practitioners and the old couple were of similar age, they naturally talked about the issue of health. The practitioners told them that they were practicing Falun Gong. Before they began the practice, they suffered from many illnesses and some had to use a cane to walk. After they learned to practice Falun Gong, all their illnesses were gone.

The old couple said, "We used to practice Falun Gong, too." The husband said, "After I practiced Falun Gong, I recovered from heart trouble and high blood pressure, and I could walk two steps at a time when climbing upstairs." The wife also said, "I also recovered from kidney trouble and stomach trouble." "But," the husband said, "since the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong, we faced too much pressure and experienced daily harassment and endless telephone calls. We were often threatened with having our house searched. We gave up the practice under the pressure, and for this we felt sad and suffered great pain. Because we have stopped practicing Falun Gong, we are now again suffering from the same illnesses. I have been hospitalized and have had surgery."

After talking with the practitioners, the old couple said, "We withdrew mentally from the CCP a long time ago." The practitioners told them that they could use aliases to formally announce their withdrawal. They agreed to this, and said that they would ask their children to do the same. Afterwards, they asked the practitioners, "We still want to practice Falun Gong, will Master still take care of us?" A practitioner said, "Master will not leave out anybody who has a predestined relationship. If you really want to practice cultivation, Master will surely take care of you. Master will take care of true practitioners."

Soon after their return home, the couple contacted the practitioners and told them that their six children agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its associated organizations. The couple had resumed their cultivation practice and were helping others to quit the CCP.

  1. The Personal Experience of an Overseas Student

A young man who came from mainland China said to the practitioners, "The Communist Party is really coming to an end." He told the practitioners, "I have now seen clearly that under the rule of the CCP, it is not easy to do business. It always involves some kind of bribe or corrupt activities." The practitioners talked with him about the CCP's corruption, and why it was important for him to withdraw. He told the practitioners that he had already withdrawn over the phone.

  1. The Tour Guide Who Knows the Truth Well

One day, the practitioners saw a group of tourists from mainland China and went up to give them some literature. Some of the tourists used bad language and tried to drive the practitioners away. The practitioners responded calmly and rationally and asked them to not use such abusive language.

At this time, the tour guide said to the tourists, "Please come over here everybody; when we are traveling here in Europe, we need to follow the local laws. The laws here in Europe provide that there is freedom of speech, and distributing informational materials is also allowed. You may listen and you may take the materials. When you read it, you might want to take it to heart. Do not treat these people in that unfriendly manner. Our next stop will be France, where there will also be Falun Gong practitioners distributing similar materials. Remember that you represent the Chinese people here." Upon hearing this, the practitioners felt so pleased for the tour guide who knows the truth so well.
