A new practitioner who just started learning Falun Gong less than six months ago talked about how he obtained the Fa when he was on the verge of death, and how he experienced the miraculous phenomena in Dafa while eliminating illness karma.

Prior to the beginning of the afternoon session, young practitioners went onstage and sang the song "Falun Dafa is Good," and also recited poems from Hong Yin, gaining applause from the whole audience.

On the morning of November 12, more than a thousand practitioners took part in group practice in Victoria Park.

Many practitioners also attended a grand parade supporting 15 million brave people who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. The parade was held by the Hong Kong Service Center for Quitting CCP and other groups. The theme of the parade was "The Nine Commentaries have widely spread; Quit the CCP publicly, and disintegrate the CCP."

(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of November 1, the "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" Art Exhibition opened in Athens, the capital of Greece. The art exhibition was hosted by the Falun Dafa Art Exhibition Preparatory Committee and the Falun Dafa Association in Greece. Forty works by artists, Falun Gong practitioners from all over the world, are exhibited at the City Centre Art Gallery. Many visitors are drawn to the exhibit, which is scheduled to be displayed for 22 days.

Mr. Zhang Kunlun, a famous sculptor, was invited to participate in the exhibition and to deliver an opening speech. He said that he and other artists felt honored to have the "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" Art Exhibition held in Athens, a city with an excellent art tradition. He explained that the art exhibition endeavors to herald a return of orthodox arts and morality, enlightening people’s conscience and kindness. He called on all people of conscience to end the inhuman and wicked persecution which has lasted for seven years in China.

The journal Thinking reported on the exhibition and the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party.

"Red Wall" is a representative work by Mr. Zhang done in 2003. He told the reporter, "Red Wall" epitomizes what I have seen and experienced in China. Not only has the CCP used prisons to detain innocent people, but it has turned the whole China into a big prison as well." Later, a reporter from Greek newspaper TA NEA interviewed Mr. Zhang Kunlun.

Thinking, a bimonthly journal with a circulation of 35,000 in Greece, carried a report entitled "Crimes on Canvas" telling about the exhibition and the CCP authorities persecution and torture of Falun Gong practitioners.

Mr. Georgia described the purpose of exhibition to the reporter. He said, "One of purposes of the Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Art Exhibition is to tell people in Greece about the cruel persecution happening right now in China. It has exposed the CCP’s lies and propaganda. The persecution should not have happened in this day and age. Greece is a cradle of western arts. People here went through an autocratic rule as well. Therefore, it is easy for them to understand the sufferings depicted in these artworks. Another aspect of the exhibition is to show people in Greece the nobility of the practitioners in China who stand up for their beliefs as well as the greatness of the practice of Falun Dafa."

The "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Art Exhibition" has been held in over 70 cities in Europe.

On the 21st and 22nd of October, a seminar and an exhibition entitled the "World Uniting Show," was held in the People’s Hall of Orebro, Sweden. Participants included the Orebro ABF Organization, the Association for Supporting Human Rights in China, the Swedish Falun Gong Association and the Youth Association of the Red Cross.

The Falun Gong stall was assigned to a prominent location near to the stage. Many people came to the stall to learn about the persecution of Falun Gong in China and also about the practice of Falun Gong. When hearing about how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been harvesting organs from living practitioners to sell for vast profits, many people immediately signed a petition calling for an end to the atrocities.

At noon on October 21st, the Association for Supporting Human Rights in China held a seminar on human rights in China. Two members of the association reviewed a series of human rights calamities that the CCP has imposed on the Chinese people since it came into power in 1949. In particular, they quoted some findings from the report authored by David Matas and David Kilgour, who concluded that the CCP has been harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs for profit.

Seminar on human rights in China

During the discussion session, a Christian who escaped from China revealed the suffering of Christians at the hands of the CCP. He pointed out that churches controlled by the CCP authorities are just a political tool of the Communist Party. If Christians voluntarily hold their own religious activities, they will be cruelly suppressed by the CCP.

After hearing about how the CCP seizes organs from living persons, a gentleman showed great concern over what the Swedish government should do about it. Some people asked why so many people in China persist in practicing Falun Gong despite such a brutal persecution. A practitioner who was tortured in a labor camp in China told the participants about the benefits many people have received from practicing Falun Gong, and why one hundred million people choose to live by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.
