(Minghui.org) European Falun Dafa practitioners held two grand parades in Warsaw, Poland on September 10 and 11, 2022. The parades passed in front of Poland’s government buildings and several famous tourist landmarks. The information about Falun Dafa was well-received by both locals and tourists.
Many local residents said that the parades were magnificent and the messages conveyed were very powerful. A number of people said they felt powerful energy from practitioners while watching the parade and some also expressed an interest in learning more about Falun Dafa. Upon being made aware of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa, many expressed their anger and frustration over the CCP and their support for Dafa practitioners.
Practitioners held a parade through Warsaw’s busiest areas, ending at one of the best known and oldest trade routes in Warsaw, Krakowskie Przedmieście.
People sign the petition against the persecution and express their support for practitioners in bringing the persecution to an end.
Designer: “I Hope More People Can Be Aware of the Persecution”
Jolanta, a designer, saw practitioners holding a candlelight vigil at the Chinese embassy three days prior to the parade, commemorating fellow practitioners persecuted to death in China. She received a Falun Dafa informational flyer and said that she knew a lot about the persecution happening in China.
Jolanta said, “I hope more people can learn about the persecution.
Jolanta was surprised to see so many practitioners and hoped that the activity would help more people be aware of the persecution happening in China. She was interested in learning more about Falun Dafa’s five sets of exercises, and was pleased to learn that the contact information for Warsaw’s different group practice sites is available online.
“Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are the principles of human nature”
Marek, an architect, and his wife Ania, an accountant, stopped to watch the parade.Marek said, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are principles of human nature.”
His wife agreed. “We should live according to these three principles," she said. "Practitioners look very peaceful and calm. I can feel that they are truly happy from deep down inside.”
Ania was happy to encounter practitioners but was shocked to find out about the brutality of the CCP’s persecution. “All religious persecution is horrible,” she said.
“The Principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Are Very Important”
Beata, who works for a natural resource company, saw Falun Dafa practitioners when the parade ended at Krakowskie Przedmieście. She said, “It is important to tell people about the persecution. It is obvious that the Polish people are supportive of Falun Dafa.”
Beata praised Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
When she learned that Falun Dafa practitioners adhere to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, Beata said, “These principles are very important and we need them. The persecution should have never existed. People should have their freedom.”
Justina said, “We need the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.”
Justina, a sales manager, agreed. “The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are what we need today,” she said. “If everyone is able to adhere to these principles, we would not have to engage in warfare. The CCP is afraid of anything that is not in line with its principles.”
“The Persecution Must End”
Aldonia condemned the Chinese Communist Party.
Aldonia is a Christian who works with children. She said, “The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are very important.” Aldonia said she respects these principles. “Humans should be compassionate and be more mindful," she said. "This is the right thing to do. We are all God’s children and these principles are very important.”
Aldonia added, “People with faith and beliefs, such as Christians, have all been persecuted. The persecution must end. The CCP must disintegrate. The Divine will disintegrate the CCP. We need to have hope.”
