“Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is what each of us needs”

Nicklas praised Falun Dafa’s principles.

Nicklas, who passed by the Adelaide event on April 21, said that he learned about Falun Dafa from a former coworker, and he was very impressed. Their workload was heavy, but he noticed that his coworker always seemed relaxed. He practiced the exercises and didn’t need any medicine to relieve stress and fatigue. The coworker’s health was always good and he did not smoke or drink.

Nicklas said he believes that the universal values of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is what each of us needs. “What we do is to continuously improve this cognition, and strive to expand tolerance, kindness, and patience until we reach the standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. The culture of cultivation is extraordinary, and perhaps this is the meaning of our existence,” he said.

He is supportive of practitioners’ efforts to stop the persecution, “It is unbelievable that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) suppresses and persecutes people who want to be good. What is even more outrageous is that their organs are harvested and sold internationally. It is intolerable and must stop!”

Photographer Supports Practitioners Efforts to Expose the Persecution

Berry Smith, a freelance photographer in Adelaide, was shocked when he learned about the CCP’s crimes against humanity. He sighed and said, “More people should pay attention to this topic, especially the mainstream media.”

He expressed his support for practitioners in their efforts to tell people about the persecution, and their signature drives, “You are doing the right thing. Let more people know.” He asked for more information and said he would browse the website and tell friends who work in the media. Before leaving, he left a business card, and offered to help practitioners.

Photographer Chris signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution.

The peaceful scene of practitioners in yellow T-shirts practicing the exercises also attracted another photographer, Chris, who signed the petition to help stop the persecution. He believes that everyone has the right to pursue beauty and freedom of belief. “People shouldn’t be persecuted like this. This is intolerable,” he said, and asked to be notified of future events.

Mr. Zhang, a young man from China, said that the Tiananmen Square self-immolation was a scam created by the CCP. He said, “Their (CCP) news is fake. I think Falun Dafa is very good. We have long since disbelieved the CCP’s propaganda.” He agreed to withdraw from the Young Pioneers, a CCP-affiliated organization he joined.

Candlelight Vigil at Chinese Embassy

Practitioners held a candlelight vigil at the Chinese Embassy in Canberra on the evening of April 24, 2023.

Hao Li, representing Falun Dafa practitioners in Canberra, said that practitioners gathered to commemorate the peaceful appeal on April 25 that took place 24 years ago when more than 10,000 Falun Dafa practitioners went to the State Council Appeals Office to request the release of practitioners arrested in Tianjin, and the right to practice Falun Dafa and have the books published.”

Out of jealousy of Falun Dafa’a popularity, former CCP head Jiang Zemin launched the persecution. Yet, Falun Dafa has spread to over 100 countries. More and more people have become to know the benefits of practicing Dafa and learned about the evil nature of the CCP.
