A Young Man in Syria Personally Experiences the Power of Falun Dafa

August 08, 2012 |   By an overseas Falun Dafa practitioner

(Minghui.org) I came across a young man from Syria while I was chatting with people on the Internet. He is a fourth-year student at a Syrian university and often chats with people online. He especially likes to chat with Chinese. His mother tongue is Arabic, and his English is not fluent, but he likes to make friends on the Internet. I explained the truth about Falun Gong to him and told him that the Chinese Communist Party persecutes Falun Gong practitioners in China. He had no response to what I told him, as if it had nothing to do with him. He just said, “If you think it is good, then you should go ahead and practice it.” He told me that his country was being torn apart by a civil war and that things there were very unstable and students often could not go to school.

Later he logged onto the Internet again. This time he cried out for help, saying that his sister had run into a gun fight on her way home after school and got shot in the heart. Doctors said that her condition was critical and that there was nothing they could do for her. At once I told him to recite the words “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” for his sister, because it could save her. However, he did not understand or believe it. I thought that it was an emergency and tried to figure out how I could help him understand what I meant as quickly as possible. His English was not fluent, so I downloaded the Arabic version of Zhuan Falun and sent it to him over the Internet. I told him that it was a life-saving book and that he should read it to his sister quickly, or it would be too late to save her. It was that urgent. He immediately went off-line.

A few days later, he located me online and told me excitedly that the book I had given him was extraordinarily amazing. His sister was saved even before he finished reading it. All the doctors said that it was a miracle. He said he wanted to share this amazing book with everyone near him. People in his country do not hear about Zhuan Falun, and cannot find anyone to teach them the exercises. I would like to send him the electronic version of The Great Consummation Way of Falun Dafa, but there is no Arabic version.

I did not hear from him for a few months. One day I came across him on the Internet. He mentioned that he had been busy making Chinese friends on the Internet for the past few months. He found out that Chinese like to chat with people by connecting to QQ, so he applied for a QQ account. He was telling all the Chinese on QQ what he had been through, his personal and wonderfully miraculous experience of reading Zhuan Falun. He said that some people believed it, and some swore at him. If they swore at him, he would strike up a conversation with them and ask them why they hated Falun Gong. He tried to convince them that Falun Dafa was good by sharing his personal experience. In the end he discovered that those who did not understand the facts were eager to have freedom, too. He thought that the Chinese who grew up in China were very lucky, and he did not understand why they were so resistant to believing the truth. He even asked me why I did not explain the facts to them. I laughed and said that he was one of those to whom I had clarified the truth.

This Syrian undergraduate said that his greatest wish is to find someone who can teach him the Falun Gong exercises. If we can find practitioners from Libya’s neighboring countries to go to Syria to teach the exercises, he believes that more people will come to learn the practice.
