Oct. 7, 2022 |   By De Xiang, a Minghui correspondent in Munich, Germany

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners have been persisting in weekly truth-clarification activities at the Munich city center. They demonstrate the Falun Dafa exercises and raise awareness about the ongoing 23-years-long persecution and the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) state-sanctioned organ harvesting atrocity from living practitioners for profit.

Practitioners held activities at Karlsplatz, Munich Residenz, Bavarian State Opera, Harras, Marienplatz, and during the Oktoberfest, from July to September 25, 2022. Many locals supported practitioners’ activities and signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution.

A Chinese Lady In Tears: “Your persistence is very admirable”

A Chinese lady passed by the practitioners’ information booth in Karlsplatz and started to chat with a female Falun Dafa practitioner. She was very emotional and chatted with the practitioner for a long time. She said with tears in her eyes, “You have been persisting for 20 years. Not many people are able to do this. I don’t think I could persist as you do. Your persistence is very admirable.”

The lady has been a long-time reader of the Epoch Times and withdrew from the CCP and its youth organizations a long time ago. She stated that she knew the truth about Falun Dafa, and did her best to inform her friends and her family about it. “The CCP’s nature is evil. The CCP does not represent the Chinese people.”

Hair Stylist: A Healing Energy That Keeps One at Peace

Naja Gourdoud, a hair stylist, supports Falun Dafa practitioners’ peaceful efforts in calling for an end to the persecution.

Naja Gourdoud was shocked when she saw Ms. Gao Rongrong’s persecution pictures when looking at them at Marienplatz. She placed an angel made of porcelain next to her picture, after which she walked to the information booth and signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution. “I am against this act of atrocity. This is terrifying. This is not normal.”

Upon learning that the CCP has been persecuting a group of people who follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance for 23 years, Naja said, “How is this possible? Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are good principles. The CCP cannot forbid people from following them. They are going against the will of the divine. The divine will stop this.”

There are two sides to Falun Dafa practitioner’s information booth. One side raised awareness of the persecution and the CCP’s state-sanctioned organ harvesting from living practitioners, while the other side introduced the beauty of Falun Dafa with banners that read “The World Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and “Falun Dafa is Good.” Practitioners also demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises. “I can feel two different types of energy,” Naja said. “On one side, I feel great sadness and suffering.” She smiled and pointed to the side that introduced Falun Dafa, “This side has healing energy. The atmosphere feels light and makes one feel at ease.”

Retired Editor: The World Should Resist the Chinese Communist Party

Babara Pohlman

Barbara Pohlman, a retired editor, passed by the Falun Dafa practitioners’ booth at Marienplatz on August 27, 2022.

Ms. Pohlman said that Falun Dafa practitioners looked “very quiet and at peace” when demonstrating the exercises. “I am surprised at their level of concentration. This is something that I am lacking.”

Upon learning about the CCP’s ongoing persecution, Ms. Pohlman stated, “I don’t understand why people are against the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, as they are good principles and practitioners look very peaceful.”

Ms. Pohlman traveled to Hong Kong with her son when it was still a free region. “I liked Hong Kong as a tourist. However, I am unable to communicate with the people of Hong Kong, and understand their suffering.”

She signed the petition calling for an end to organ harvesting and said, “I am terrified. This is horrible. These acts of brutality really shocked me. Humankind and the international community should stop this. This is inhumane.”

“Thank you for telling me the truth about Falun Dafa in such detail”

A man and woman from Switzerland, who appeared to be in their 30s, encountered Falun Dafa practitioners at the Bavarian State Opera. They had just finished shopping and decided to talk with practitioners. The man was happy to be told about the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. He happily said, “These are very good universal principles.” The couple expressed their interest in learning Falun Dafa.

They were in disbelief upon learning about the persecution happening in China. Practitioners patiently explained everything in detail, from learning about Falun Dafa to hearing about the CCP’s organ harvesting from living practitioners, and why the CCP is persecuting practitioners. Both signed the petition calling for an end to the CCP’s organ harvesting from living practitioners.

The lady hugged the practitioner after signing the petition. She said, “Thank you for telling me the truth about Falun Dafa in such detail. Thank you for explaining everything, and having us sign the petition.” The man also hugged the practitioner. The Falun Dafa practitioner felt touched and wanted more people to know the truth about Falun Dafa.

German Businessman: Fully Aware of the CCP’s Evil Nature a Long Time Ago

Mr. George and his wife signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution. Mr. George has been doing business in China.

When practitioners mentioned that people were being persecuted for practicing the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, Mr. George said, “I know about this. The CCP is infamous for it and has been on the wrong path for a long time. This is tyranny and they are only protecting what they want to protect.” He agreed that Germans need to be fully aware of the CCP’s evil nature, and not be deceived by the CCP. He smiled and said, “I was already aware of the CCP’s evil nature.”
