  • Australia: Putting Chinese Diplomats in Queensland on Notice

    On October 18, 2005 some Falun Gong practitioners from South East Queensland gathered in front of the building where the new Chinese Consulate is located. They read out the "Falun Dafa Association Announcement" warning CCP officials to stop persecuting Falun Gong.

    Soon after a practitioner started to read the announcement, a spurt of water [most likely from a fire hose] poured down from the roof of the building directly onto the practitioners and their display boards. The practitioners were not distracted by such harassment and continued to read the announcement.

    Chinese Consulate workers hosed practitioners. Practitioners and their display boards were all wet.

    Some passers-by across the road witnessed the incident. They showed great admiration of the demeanor and dignity demonstrated by Dafa practitioners and they were totally disgusted with the base conduct of the Chinese diplomats. People could not help commenting along the following lines: Chinese diplomats, don't you feel ashamed of your childish and ridiculous conduct? You must understand that you are in a democratic country and all citizens here have the right to express their opinions and to appeal. Australia is not under the CCP dictatorship, and your conduct has already violated the civil rights of Australian citizens. The Australian government takes this matter very seriously and the police are also in the process of further investigation about the incident.

    In fact, what the Chinese diplomats did cannot harm Falun Gong practitioners at all. On the contrary, they have offered another opportunity for the world's people to see the evil nature of the Chinese Communist regime.

    Practitioners sincerely warn the Chinese diplomats, "The CCP regime is against the law of the universe, and is about to collapse. It is now having difficulty sustaining the persecution. The final judgment of these evil criminals is imminent. However, one of the purposes of the introducing Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong) to the human society is to save lives, including people in all social statuses. Even for those who have committed wrongdoings, there is still an opportunity for them to abandon the evil path and choose to be good."

    Wake up! Stop helping those who do evil, otherwise you will only harm yourselves in the end.

    Arizona: Introducing Falun Gong to Native Americans

    Indians are the earliest residents of America. Their history can be dated back to tens of thousands of years ago. Consequently, some call the Indians "Native Americans." When Europeans came to America, Indians suffered much injustice and inhuman treatments as they were the suppressed minority. The Native Americans can therefore understand the suffering of practitioners. They have, one after another, expressed their sympathy to practitioners and their outrage towards the unjust persecution. To further clarify the truth to Native Americans, while the Navajo Indians were holding their 37th-annual To'Nanees'Dizi Din¨¦ Fair from October 13 to 16, more than ten practitioners from Arizona, Utah and New Mexico went to Tuba to clarify the truth and introduce Falun Gong to tens of thousands of the Navajo people.

    Practitioners decorated one of their cars as a truth-clarifying vehicle to participate in the parade. They hung two small speakers on both sides of the car to play "Pudu" and "Jishi" music. As there was not room in the parade to demonstrate the exercises, a lady sat on the car roof to do the demonstration.

    The parade started at 10 a.m. Before and after the practitioners' group were large vehicles with noisy engines. In addition, the vehicles were playing loud rock music. When the practitioners' peaceful group came, the elegant Falun Gong music was just like a slow-moving creek, flowing through misty woods into peoples' hearts. People were pleasantly surprised and moved their eyes to the practitioners' group. The "Falun Gong" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" banners and the decorated car with the lady demonstrating the graceful exercises - the scene was so unique and touching...

    The exercise movements attracted many people's attention. A great number of people stared at the lady demonstrating them, and some started to copy her movements. More people want to know what this special and solemn practice is and want to know Falun Gong and the meaning of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

    When they saw practitioners distributing fliers, people strived to reach them to get a copy. Some from outside of the circles yelled aloud asking for one or several copies. Some children trailed the practitioners to get their copies. The practitioners of course were so busy that they could hardly meet the requests. On many occasions, one person would take the first copy, and then more people around that person would extend their hands for the materials. Such a scene has not been seen often in the past, and practitioners deeply sensed the aspiration of Indians to Falun Gong.

    After seeing the practitioners' demonstration of the five exercises, many Navajos wanted to learn right away. In about two hours, the class registration form was already full of names. People, old or young, who learned the exercises, were all very attentive and learned pretty fast.

    A Navajo followed practitioners' group to the end of the parade and then went to the practitioners' booth. When she was presented with Falun Gong information, she was delighted. She learned the five sets of exercises on the spot, and she could easily cross her legs into full lotus position. When she learned that practitioners were to hold a free class in Tuba, with no hesitation, she registered and wrote down her name and contact information. When asked why she was so interested in Falun Gong, she said that a well-respected person told her: During the fair parade, only those in yellow can save her. Therefore, she followed practitioners from the parade to the booth.
