Hong Kong Practitioners Uphold Righteous Thoughts to Clarify the Truth and A Slanderous Forum Has to Hastily End (Photo)

May 9, 2002 |   By practitioner from Hong Kong

(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoons of May 5 and 6, instigated by the Chinese Liaison Office behind the scenes, a forum attempting to defame Falun Dafa was held consecutively at the concert hall of the Zhonghuan Convention Center and the theater of the Hong Kong Cultural Center. Although the forum sponsors put out an aggressive effort to draw people in, people from all walks of life reacted indifferently. The speeches in the forum were very low-grade, as if it were a farce. Attendants were very disappointed that the forum spread untruthful materials to them. Most media did not report it cooperatively. Dozens of Falun Gong practitioners continued sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil and practicing the exercises together during the two days outside the conference locations. Practitioners also set up display booths and distributed Dafa materials to clarify the truth, to eliminate the evil and to let the innocent people avoid being poisoned by their lies.

The forum was sponsored by characters who ingratiated themselves with Jiang's 'political gang of scoundrels. Under the name of the "China Development and Spiritual Civilization", they in fact organized those political figures who act as self appointed experts in religion, culture, and science to defame Falun Gong according to the authorities' wishes. According to insiders, the backstage schemers utilized administration orders to mobilize people to come. They demanded companies sponsored by the Chinese Government, institutions closely tied to the Party and schools to attend. They even assigned a quota of people from those workplaces and allotted tickets. It is reported that many institutions sponsored by the Chinese Government reacted indifferently. There were large quantities of vacancies on the first day's forum. Although there were a few more people showing up on the second day (Monday), it could be seen that many of them were "sent" to the forum by their institutions, workplaces and schools to replace their regular work or study.

Many of the attendees were staff appointed by Mainland China to work in Hong Kong. They have been quite familiar with political tactics. After the forum, some came out and told practitioners: "It is way too far!" "They are bullying you." Kind-hearted people all felt indignant on Falun Gong's behalf. A middle school teacher who received orders to bring innocent students to hear the forum also admitted that the "forum" was completely one sided. He brought his students here with the intention that there would be chances for an instant opinion exchange so that his students could ask questions. But he felt very disappointed over the fact that the forum was totally controlled by one side and it infused untruthful materials to the attendees.

Practitioners distributed Dafa truth-clarification materials at each entrance of the conference place. People coming in and out were all willing to accept them. Over a thousand booklets and truth-clarification CDs were distributed in one afternoon.

Over a week ago before the unrighteous forum, Hong Kong Falun Gong practitioners started sending forth righteous thoughts at fixed times to eliminate the evil. It effectively restrained the evil's influence. Most media did not report it cooperatively. As a result, the forum ended hastily as if it were the final phase of a chess game. The majority of people thus avoided being poisoned.
