(Clearwisdom.net) May 13, 2007 was World Falun Dafa Day, the 15th anniversary of the introduction of Falun Dafa to the public, and also the 56th birthday of our Master, Mr. Li Hongzhi. To celebrate this special day, Dutch Falun Gong practitioners held a series of activities in front of the World Court and the square in front of the city hall in the morning and afternoon respectively.

The picture exhibition promoting Falun Gong and the demonstration of Falun Gong exercises attracted many people's attention. "I don't know much about Falun Gong, but your exercises and material attract me very much. I want to read more about them."
People were reading the information on the display boards, learning the truth about the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong
Many passersby were shocked by the persecution facts, "The suppression in China surprises me very much indeed. Why do they suppress Falun Gong? I simply can not understand why they do this." "They must release all imprisoned people immediately, let them do what they want to do, as this has nothing to do with politics, but just sitting in meditation. Why is it forbidden?"
"I am really speechless, I viewed one side of the leaflet, it is so beautiful. Then a lady told me to turn it over and read the other side. It's too terrible that such a persecution is still existing and taking place, I can not understand it at all. How could such brutal things be done? It is not allowed, whether in China or other places in the world."
The Voorberg Falun Gong exercise site was established less than six months ago, and every week practitioners gather there to do the exercises and study the Fa together. Yunfang said, "Most of the practitioners at our exercise site are Dutch practitioners. They feel unusually good after doing the exercises, not only the big changes in their bodies, no longer having any sickness, colds, or catching a fever as they used to, but also the even bigger changes in their minds. They study Zhuan Falun after doing the exercises, and follow the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" in their everyday lives, therefore the changes in their minds are even bigger."
Mr. Hu, president of the Dutch Falun Gong Association, said that we have many new people who started the practice, and we awaken the conscience of the world's people, who want to stop the persecution. On the other hand, as for the people and the government, there are more and more positive responses, more support and the people taking initiative to condemn this persecution."
