(Clearwisdom.net) There are lots of Chinese people living in Milan, Italy, and many of them have to go to the Chinese Consulate to take care of personal business during the week. Therefore it is a good place for us to send forth righteous thoughts and to clarify the truth to people. The following are some short stories of our experiences.

Once two practitioners were clarifying the truth to two local Chinese people. One of them patted the other's shoulder and said jokingly, "Look. People who practice Falun Gong look so energetic, not so lethargic like you." The other said with a laugh, "Everyone should follow, 'Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.' If everyone does so, the society would be much better."

After sending forth righteous thoughts, I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by Chinese people. They were looking at me, and in their hands were materials another practitioner had given them. One Chinese person, seeing that my eyes were open, said, "This is not hard. I can do it too." While saying this, he sat down on the mat and easily sat in a full lotus position. I taught him how to do the fifth exercise. After doing it a few times, he asked me to show him all of the five sets of exercises and repeatedly called to the others, "Hurry, come look! It's yours once you learn it!" His eyes focused on my every movement, as if he was trying to imprint the exercises in his mind.

A Chinese man said to us, "I do not understand Falun Gong, but I think Jiang is extremely vicious. I am on your side." After practitioners talked to him for a while, he said, "I will practice Falun Gong in the future."
