Aug. 26, 2012 |   By a practitioner in Germany

(Minghui.org) Despite Saturday August 18, 2012 being the hottest day in Germany this year, a group of Falun Gong practitioners in downtown Regensburg, Germany did not feel the heat while introducing Falun Gong to passersby. Many people paused to watch the exercise demonstration and talk with the practitioners.

Falun Gong practitioners hold information day in Regensburg, Germany

Falun Gong practitioners have conducted information days in Regensburg many times to introduce Falun Gong and expose the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution. Many Germans and Chinese people living in Germany have learned about the seriousness of these issues at the events.

Recently, some Western media began reporting on organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in China and questioned the sources of corpses used for human body exhibition tours around the world. A German media outlet once disclosed that most corpses used in the body exhibitions came from China and the source was police organizations. People at the Regensburg event were shocked upon learning about the corpse trafficking, the CCP atrocities of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, and the CCP’s crimes of genocide. Many people solemnly signed the signature petitions opposing forced organ harvesting.

One middle-aged German man talked with a Falun Gong practitioner for a long time. He was indifferent about the negative news in society, as he felt these issues were so numerous and common. He felt that with peoples' endless desires and attitude for earning quick returns, the world cannot continue in this way, and sooner or later there would be a big elimination. The practitioner discussed this with him, and he felt that there must be a standard. Good people will stay and bad people will be eliminated. Then what is the standard to differentiate good from bad? The practitioner explained that Falun Gong practitioners follow the universal principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The middle-aged man was very pleased and grateful to have the opportunity to talk with the Falun Gong practitioner. He said that he would learn more relevant information after returning home.

An older German man said he had visited China in 1979. He said, “Communism was then believed in China and people had to have the same way of thinking. But no one believes in communism now. Yet, people's minds are still shackled. There is no freedom of religion. People gradually lose the ability to think and become a little numb.” After he learned that Falun Gong practitioners were being persecuted in China, he immediately signed the petition form.

Another older German gentleman was indignant. He said that if someone could take up arms to fight a war against the Communist Party, he would be the first to follow. A practitioner explained that war cannot change people's minds, but if people learn the truth, they can choose justice and say no to evil. War can thus be avoided and evil disintegrated.

A cute little girl looked at the information desk for quite a while. A practitioner gave her a beautiful paper lotus flower and explained to her the meanings of the words "Falun Dafa is Good" on the flower. She left happy. After a long time, she came back with her father. Her father was puzzled and said, "I didn't know what to do, but here I am.” The practitioner explained to him the reason for information day and signature collection opposing the persecution. The father signed the petition form right away. The little girl's smile became more brilliant.
