Berlin, Germany: Young Falun Dafa Practitioners Gratefully Take Part in World Falun Dafa Day Events at Brandenburg Gate

(Minghui.org) “I feel recharged when I participate in Falun Dafa activities,” said a young Falun Dafa practitioner who attended the 2023 May 13 World Falun Dafa Day celebratory activities in Berlin. 

Many practitioners from Germany gathered in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the public introduction of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa practitioners celebrated the spread of Falun Dafa in over 100 countries, expressed their respect to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa and how fortunate they felt to be Falun Dafa practitioners. They made use of their participation in the activity to tell people that “Falun Dafa is good.” They hoped that more young people could learn about Dafa and face a better future.

Feeling Recharged Every Time

Jia Jia is 28 years old and has been cultivating Falun Dafa with her mother from a young age. She learned to recite poems from Hong Yin at a young age and started to read Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa, when she studied in a university in Germany. Jia Jia is a quiet and shy girl and was scared when she came to Germany all by herself. Studying Zhuan Falun helped her a lot. She recollected, “I was more focused and was able to study better at school after reading Zhuan Falun.” She graduated with honors by fulfilling the requirements at her university.

Jia Jia distributes truth clarification fliers, and tells locals about the beauty of Falun Dafa.

Jia Jia’s mother eventually came to Germany to live with Jia Jia. She encouraged Jia Jia to be more diligent in her cultivation, and took Jia Jia with her to many activities to raise awareness about Falun Gong. Jia Jia benefited after attending each activity and said, “The energy field is great. Many of my negative substances have been cleared away after attending these activities.”

Jia Jia works in a trading company and oftentimes she’d experience a lot of stress and would face conflicts with her coworkers. She would get depressed and feel down. However, after attending Falun Dafa activities she would feel “recharged.” She said, “I would gain so much positive energy from attending Dafa activities and this allowed me to get back on my feet at work.”

She said gratefully, “Thank you, great and compassionate Master, for spreading such a good cultivation practice. I think that when more young people learn more about Dafa, their minds and bodies will benefit greatly.”

Dafa Teaches Me to Be a More Purposeful Person

Xiao Lu is 36 years old and started practicing Falun Dafa two years ago. He was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 24. Xiao Lu has just finished his practicum in becoming a medical lab assistant and was enrolled in university to study biopharmaceutical technology. His life and everything he had planned went to pieces when he was diagnosed with cancer. He had to put a halt on everything and began a series of treatments. 

Xiao Lu participate in the World Falun Dafa Day celebratory activities and shared how fortunate he was to have found the meaning of life. 

Xiao Lu had a bone marrow transplant when he was 25 years old. Though his body was no longer in critical condition, his mental state was deteriorating as days passed by. Looking back, Xiao Lu said, “I was mentally depressed because it was a hopeless battle with an incurable disease.” 

Xiao Lu began to think about the meaning of life, but was unable to find an answer until he came across Falun Dafa. He saw an art piece from The Art of Zhen, Shan, Ren International Art Exhibit online and found Falun Dafa’s website, which eventually led him to purchase Zhuan Falun. 

Falun Dafa answered many of his questions he had previously struggled with. He enlightened to the fact that, “There are many intangible things in life and sometimes you won’t even believe in it. However, if you can get past these limitations, you will experience the extraordinary.”

Xiao Lu gave an example of how he benefited from Falun Dafa. “I would get upset whenever a person cut the line in a supermarket. I would command that person to go to the back of the line. However, after cultivating in Dafa, I could calmly face these kind of situations. The same goes for how I treat my family, my friends and how I conduct myself in daily life. In all life situations, Falun Dafa guides one to become a better person, and benefits everyone around.”

It is Master’s Li Hongzhi’s birthday on May 13, and Xiao Lu said gratefully, “Thank you, Master! Thank you for giving me another chance to live.”
