UK: Spreading Falun Dafa in the Capital of Wales

Falun Dafa practitioners held an activity in Cardiff, the capital of Wales, at the end of December. This was a sunny day, very different from the overcast and rainy week before it, and the practitioners thought that this was perfect weather for telling people about Falun Dafa. As they were in an open area, practitioners began by setting up display boards and posters that attracted the attention of people who went shopping that day. The posters told how Dafa is practised in over 50 countries around the world and has been praised by countless governments. The posters also told about the brutal and vicious persecution in China under the command of Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin. Hundreds of thousands of innocent practitioners have been murdered, tortured and beaten. After the site was set up, practitioners demonstrated the exercises together and passers by stopped to watch. Many people asked where they could learn the exercises.

A lot of passers by spent a long time reading the display boards and expressed their dismay and shock after learning of the Jiang regime’s persecution of people who merely want to practise meditative exercises and be good people. After they spoke with practitioners, they were eager to sign the petition calling for an end to the persecution.

One practitioner continued to demonstrate the exercises in the busy street. The slow, graceful exercise movements and the beautiful Dafa music attracted the attention of many passers by. The rest of the practitioners, took the opportunity to distribute flyers, talk to people and to collect petition signatures. Practitioners found that western people accepted the leaflets with pleasure while many Chinese people showed reluctance or embarrassment and sometimes refused to accept them. Despite this, there were still a few Chinese students studying abroad who stopped to read the display boards. When practitioners approached them, they said that they were surprised to learn that Falun Dafa is popular outside of China and they took the leaflets home to read.
