Finland: Introducing Falun Gong at a Health and Knowledge Expo

On October 14th and 15th, 2006, Finnish Falun Gong practitioners returned to an annual Health and Knowledge Expo held in Helsinki, to introduce Falun Dafa and tell people about the persecution of practitioners in China.

Each stand at the Expo displayed products and books related to human body health, knowledge and culture. At the Falun Gong stand practitioners constantly demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises to traditional-style Chinese exercise music. Books such as the introductory book China Falun Gong, and the main text of Falun Dafa Zhuan Falun and all kinds of leaflets and pamphlets were displayed on the table. When people came, practitioners gave them a brief introduction and flyers disclosing the CCP's atrocity of harvesting living Falun Gong practitioners’ organs. A beautiful folded paper lotus flower was given at the same time to bring people good wishes. A petition for collecting signatures to stop the persecution of Falun Gong and condemn the CCP's atrocities was also placed on the table. Many visitors signed to support us.

Practitioners gave a paper lotus flower and leaflet to the next stand's female owner and told her that Falun Gong has spread to more than eighty countries in the world but is being persecuted by the CCP in China. When she heard that the brutality has reached the extent that living practitioners’ organs are being harvested for huge profit and their bodies cremated to wipe out the evidence, she was stunned and said it’s too awful to imagine.

When viewing the practitioners’ exercise demonstration, many people asked where the practice sites were in order to learn Falun Gong and said that they’ve seen and heard about Falun Gong from TV and radio.

A Russian lady living in Estonia said that she once again saw Falun Gong today. She immediately bought the books Zhuan Falun and The Consummation Way of Falun Dafa and said that she had the exercise video. She would really start to learn Falun Gong.
