By A Sydney Practitioner
The Sydney University Falun Dafa Club was
invited to take part the food fair for the University’s Multicultural Day earlier
this month. As one of five clubs participating in the food fair, the club provided
Chinese dumplings and delicious egg-tarts for the students. They later performed
a demonstration of the Falun Dafa exercises, and shared the story of Falun Dafa
with the students.
An eye-catching yellow banner with the Chinese words, “Falun Dafa is good”
attracted students to the food tables, where materials about Falun Dafa and its
being persecuted in China were on display. While some practitioners catered food,
others handed out fliers to students.
As students lined up to get food, each
was offered a flier to read and told kindly, “Falun Dafa is an ancient meditation
practice and it is being persecuted in China right now”. Some students expressed
their interest to learn the exercises while others expressed their sympathy toward
the practitioners being persecuted.
Two Chinese girls who approached the table
saw the bright banner. They read, “Falun Dafa hao” (“Falun Dafa is Good”) out
loud and smiled nervously. They happily accepted booklets explaining about Falun
Dafa and the persecution.
A freelance news reporter from Poland also approached
the practitioners. After listening to the practitioners describe the true story
of Falun Dafa she said, “This is amazing, I must find out more about it!”.
Three Chinese Dafa practitioners later performed a demonstration of the five sets
of exercises while a Westerner explained the principles of Falun Gong. As the
music and Teacher Li Hongzhi’s instructions began, the forecourt was filled with
serenity.
The event was a success, and a good opportunity for Sydney University
students to learn the truth of Falun Dafa.
