Falun Dafa at University of Sydney's Multicultural Day (Photos) |
| 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. Posting date: 10/Oct/2004 |
