(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Denmark gathered in the capital city Copenhagen and in Aarhus on May 11, 2013. They held events celebrating World Falun Dafa Day, the 21st anniversary of Falun Dafa's introduction to the public, and the birthday of their compassionate and great Master.
It was a lovely and warm late spring day. With the sun shining beautifully on them, people were out shopping, meeting with friends, and enjoying the spring season. On the New Square in Copenhagen and the Aarhus Pedestrian Street, the World Falun Dafa Day celebration not only added to the city's cheerful atmosphere but also brought people a wonderful blessing.

People sign petition supporting Falun Gong practitioners' effort to end the persecution
Many people stopped to watch, carefully read the truth clarification materials, and listen to Dafa disciples telling them about the goodness of Dafa. They attentively listened to stories of how Falun Gong practitioners have become good people by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, how they benefited both physically and mentally. They were indignant upon learning of the cruel persecution of Falun Gong, that has continued for 14 years in China.
"What can I do for you?"
After very carefully listening to how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has persecuted Falun Gong practitioners, a 73-year-old retired old gentleman was shocked when he learned that the CCP has systematically harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit. With tears in his eyes, he repeatedly asked, “Is this true? Is this true? ” “In today's world, such a thing is still happening.”
He wrote down the websites of related information and the name of the book written by David Kilgour and David Matas. He said that he would contact the media, telling them about the facts so that more people would know this and together work to stop these evil deeds. He was so touched that he admired the efforts made by practitioners. He exclaimed, "Well done, you are doing something for others and for justice and conscience.”
A middle-aged Danish man said that he had recently read some articles about Chinese forced labor camps under the Chinese Communist regime and thus he knew something about it. He asked the practitioner, "What can I do for you?" He then took the initiative to sign the petition in support of Falun Gong practitioners.
Predestined People Come to Hear the Truth
The beautiful exercise music and Dafa information attracted people who have predestined relationships to learn, one after another. After quietly watching practitioners demonstrate the exercises, a high school girl asked for more information. She learned that Falun Dafa practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in their daily lives. They are not only very kind to their family members, but to their colleagues as well. What’s more, Falun Gong is a cultivation practice that improves people’s minds and health. The student said she looked forward to learning it, and with materials in hand, she left happily.
After wandering around the practice site for some time, and finally gathering up her courage, a Chinese lady stepped forward for more information. Some doubts in her heart were removed after she had a conversation with a practitioner. She asked, "Where does Falun Gong get their money from?" The practitioner told her, "All of us have a job. With our own money we print materials and create discs. Falun Gong is so good, and because we have all benefited from it, we want people to know about it. If someone had not told me about Falun Gong, I would not have known it. Needless to say, if it wasn't for this brutal persecution, how many people would have benefited from the exercises! So stopping the persecution is a good thing for all people around the world.”
The lady then asked, "How long have you practiced Falun Gong? What level have you reached?" The practitioner told her, “We Falun Gong practitioners are not attached to what levels we have reached. We will automatically obtain what we should obtain without seeking. That will happen when we do everything well according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” The Chinese lady took some informational materials and said that she wanted to learn the exercises.
