(Minghui.org) “Where can I learn Falun Gong?” This was a question that Maria, a practitioner, often heard. That prompted her to establish a group practice site in the area as soon as possible. One woman who wanted to learn Falun Gong suggested a good location.

Near the shores of Steinberg Lake in southern Germany, Starnberg is near Munich. It is a beautiful place and home to many affluent Germans. To inform the local residents about Falun Gong and the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution, practitioners held events in the downtown area for two Fridays in a row in late October 2019.

One woman who was interested in learning the practice said that she had already signed the petition to stop the CCP's live organ harvesting from practitioners.

She said, “I think that if everyone starts with a small step, and then others take small steps, in the end it can have a huge impact. That’s why I signed the petition.”

Many people signed the petition after reading the information about the CCP's live organ harvesting.

An American from a small U.S. city told practitioners a story in fluent Chinese. He said he was a government official. The Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles called the government offices in his town to defame Falun Gong and urged them not to allow practitioners to hold any activities there.

The man said, “Our city government held a special meeting about it. We decided that the city welcomes Falun Gong.”
