Carol continued by saying, "I have been cultivating in Falun Gong for 25 years. Since I began cultivating, I have learned the true meaning of life, and the truth of being a human being. That is why I do my best to act in accordance with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and try to be a good person in the situations I face in everyday life. The principles help me to handle different situations, for example at work and as a mother of three children. I have made a special trip to Copenhagen today just to say to people what I think: Falun Dafa is good! Thank you Master for bringing a whole new meaning to my life."

Falun Dafa is good! I Want to Practice Falun Dafa and be a Good Person
Marda, a resident of Greenland, a Danish self-governing island, took the initiative to pick up a pen and sign the petition after listening to the practitioners clarify the truth about Falun Gong.
Marda said that she was longing to read the two Falun Dafa books, Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun. Practitioners told her that they could be downloaded for free from the Falun Dafa website. She said that when she returned home, she would ask her children to help her find the Danish Falun Dafa page on the Internet. She was ready to learn how to practice Falun Dafa, and was very happy when the practitioners introduced her to the free information, books, and videos of the teachings on the Internet.
In the end, she hugged the practitioners and said, “I want to meet you again. Falun Dafa is good! I want to be reborn through practicing Falun Dafa and be a good person!”

Swedish Youth: I Want to Wear a Yellow T-shirt and Join You
A young man from Gothenburg came to Copenhagen for the weekend. He walked to the event site, and after listening to the practitioners tell him the facts about Falun Dafa, he asked if practicing Falun Dafa can improve a person’s physical condition. Because of the side effects of a vaccine as a child, he could not sleep well. He could not concentrate on work and studies, and could not concentrate, which caused tension and anxiety. A practitioner told him that after cultivation, people can purify their minds, improve their physical condition, relieve tension and anxiety, and become calm and happy. He expressed great interest.
After learning about the practice, a young man from Gothenburg, Sweden said that he wanted to learn and practice Falun Dafa, as well as join practitioners in telling people about the practice.
When he was told about the 25 years of Falun Dafa practitioners’ unremitting efforts to end the persecution, and fight for the right to freedom of belief in peace and rationally, he said, “Can I join you? I also want to put on yellow clothes and help you distribute information.” Practitioners welcomed him, and told him to study and read more about Falun Dafa, and start by learning the practice himself, since it can be downloaded for free from the internet.
Some Falun Dafa practitioners went to the Chinese Embassy in Denmark on the morning of Falun Dafa Day, Monday May 13, and unfurled banners reading “Falun Dafa Day is celebrated by the whole world” and “Falun Dafa is good.” This was to tell the staff of the Chinese Embassy about the event, and understand what is important.
Practitioners demonstrate outside the Chinese embassy, clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa to the embassy staff.
