(Clearwisdom.net) To give dictator Jiang not a moment's rest, even in such a small town as Goslar, we went there to clean out the evil with our righteous thoughts.
Our parade took place in front of the train station on Friday, April 12, 2002, at 3:00 p.m. We carried large and small banners to let people know who we are and why we had congregated there. The three outer rows of participants carried stacks of newspapers to be handed out passersby on the street. Under police escort we slowly walked through the Old Town. We had people following us until we arrived at Jakobi Church Square -- curious residents as well as local news media representatives, some of whom had cameras. The parade did not last long, but for such a small town it created a buzz and was effective in achieving our goal.
We did our exercises at the church square, calmly and serenely, much to the surprise of passersby who are used to lots of noise from different kind of parades. The pleasing Dafa music added to the harmonious effect.
Jiang was expected to arrive around 5:00 p.m. - the precise time for us to send forth righteous thoughts. After a brief excursion in the town we assembled at the church square at 5:00 p.m. -- Jiang's actual arrival time! I have never before felt the power, energy and effectiveness of our righteous as I did then: everyone was in deep concentration, in spite of young parents intermingling with their children, the dogs, or the helicopter circling overhead. The experience was difficult to put into words. It seemed as if the righteous thoughts broke through all the noise and barriers, and reached the evil.
Large numbers of police from all over northern Germany had sealed off the inner city. Local citizens found this to be ridiculous and highly inconvenient.
I spoke with an official manning the barricades. At first I spoke to him as a tourist who was interested in visiting the historic emperor's castle and asked for directions to a well-known café close by. I commented that it is such a waste of effort, money and manpower. "He is, after all, a statesman visiting here and there are certain national rules and regulations that must be observed." But, like all his colleagues who were in earshot, he grinned to himself. I then asked him whether he was aware of what is really happening in China? I told him that I practice Falun Gong and have come here with other practitioners to rattle Jiang, who is such a tyrant in his own country. All those who listened to me had already heard of Falun Gong, but had not made a connection with what was going on. They were on duty, but put the Dafa information I gave them into their uniform pockets. It remains to be seen whether or not they will fully come to understand the truth.
