Indonesia: Practitioners Introduce Falun Dafa in Tuban

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners introduced the practice to the public at a park in Tuban, Indonesia, on September 11, 2022. They also raised awareness about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) ongoing persecution of the spiritual practice.

Tuban, a town located on the north coast of Java, is about 62 miles west of Surabaya, the capital of East Java. The city was once an important seaport during the 13^th-16^th Centuries during the Majapahit empire and was a port often used by Kublai Khan, the first emperor of China’s Yuan Dynasty.

Locals observe practitioners performing the five sets of exercises.

Practitioners introduce Falun Dafa to locals.

The activity started with practitioners demonstrating the Falun Dafa’s five sets of exercises at 7:30 a.m. After completing the exercises, practitioners talked with people about the persecution in China until about 10:00 a.m.

Though many never heard about Falun Dafa nor the persecution, locals were very supportive, signing a petition calling for an end to the persecution.

One local stopped while he was riding his motorbike, saying that he heard about Falun Dafa from one of his relatives. After learning more about the practice, the motorist decided to bring his mother to the group practice site.

A Chinese resident asked, “Why do you hate China? Isn’t Falun Dafa forbidden in China?” A practitioner explained, “The CCP does not represent China. The CCP has launched many persecutions against its own people since it took reign in 1949. Over 80 million people have died during these persecutions. The CCP has destroyed China’s traditional morals and values. The idea of communism originated from the West and it is based on atheism and violence.”

“Since 1999, Falun Dafa practitioners have been targeted by the CCP. The communist regime forcefully harvests Falun Dafa practitioners’ organs for profit. In reality, the constitution of the People’s Republic of China does not have any restrictions on Falun Dafa. The orders to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners came from Jiang Zemin, former head of the CCP. His brutal acts will one day be exposed to the world.”

Practitioners then went to Coconut Beach after 10:30 a.m., where they practiced the exercises and studied the Fa. Things wrapped up at about 3 p.m.

One Falun Dafa practitioner from Tuban exclaimed, “We are grateful for all the support we got from practitioners from all over the cities of East Java. We will hold more activities to help locals learn more about Falun Dafa.”
