Clarifying the Truth in Yorkshire – One Practitioner's Day in a Park

(Minghui.org) I'd like to share an experience I had over the weekend. I went to a park in a busy part of Yorkshire to do the exercises by myself. This was the first time I did this. I frequently clarify the truth in this town, and have done so for many years. I wanted to introduce Dafa to more people in the area, and also thought that practicing here would generate a stronger field, thus affecting the environment more positively whilst clarifying the truth.

I had the thought that it would be a shame not to do this because I was afraid to do it. What a great opportunity this was, so why let fear get in the way?

As I was just starting, something just felt right, as if maybe other practitioners were joining and encouraging me in spirit.

As I went through the exercises, some workmen behind me were digging up the road using loud equipment. Amid the construction noise, brief periods of silence, and a group of screeching crows, I felt very much at peace and very forgiving.

I wasn't annoyed or disturbed at all. During my time there, I felt so enveloped in love and mercy. When this happened in the past, I'd get a little complacent, so I checked myself not to be too elated, and just bathed in the complete beauty of the moment.

It's important to look right out in public, too–it's not every day that one sees a lone person practicing qigong on their own.

Once finished, I headed to my usual spot where I hand out leaflets about Dafa and collect signatures calling for an end to the 17-year persecution in China. On this occasion, there was a brass band contest in progress, so it was very crowded. It eventually became apparent that I was pretty much in the middle of things, but just enough out the way so as to not over-impose myself.

I take a placard with me that clarifies the situation in China. A young boy of about ten stood and read every word on my board, even coming around the other side to read. Once he'd finished, he gave me such a lovely smile. It's times like these that make what we do so worthwhile. There is nothing else that comes close to it.
Even though many people didn't come and get a leaflet, there were times I could sense that their spirits were alerted and awakening. They knew something was happening.
