(Clearwisdom.net) The second Irish Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference was held on November 24, 2002, in Dublin, Ireland. Practitioners from Ireland, England, France and Hong Kong attended. The atmosphere at the conference was solemn and serene.

Thirteen papers were formally shared at the conference, including the experiences of four English practitioners who are participating in a continual appeal in front of the Chinese Embassy in London and an Irish practitioner who spoke about how being in a wheelchair affects his cultivation and Dafa activities.

On November 23, a parade was held through the center of Dublin. Practitioners performed a beautiful traditional Chinese dance during the parade. Even though it rained throughout the day, we felt that people held respect for our activities in that we would not be held back by any external influence. One reporter commented positively on the parade, saying that it was the most imaginative event that we had organized. The parade continued on to the Foreign Minister's Office, where practitioners handed in a letter of appeal to the Irish Foreign Minister, Mr. Brian Cowen T.D.

Rainbow marking our activities

Overall, the two days were a huge success. More people came to know the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong. The heavens also seemed to celebrate with us, as a rainbow marked our activities.
