Blessings from Practitioners in the Wind and Rain -- Singapore Falun Dafa Practitioners Clarify Truth to Visitors from China

Feb. 13, 2003 |   By a Dafa Practitioner in Singapore

(Clearwisdom.net) During the Spring Festival (Chinese Lunar New Year), the number of tourist groups visiting Singapore from China increases sharply. Every day tourists were pouring in, group after group. This time is also Singapore's rainy season. In the wind and rain, the Singapore Falun Dafa practitioners gathered at tourist attractions from 8 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the evening welcoming the precious Chinese people with open arms. The practitioners first extended holiday greetings to the visitors and then welcomed them to learn the truth. Several different kinds of truth clarification materials were handed out to the visitors, and more and more Chinese tourists learned the truth about Falun Dafa. The following are some moving moments.

1. One tourist began to chat with one of the practitioners and found that they were from the same province. Instantly they felt very close. The visitor simply took the practitioner aside, listened earnestly to him clarifying the truth, and then asked for truth clarifying materials. Before leaving, the visitor said loudly, "I will help you to promote it when I return to China."

2. Some visitors came over to our practice site and said with their thumbs up, "Good, you must hold on!"

3. One female tourist said to a practitioner in a low voice, "We all know this."

4. A pair of sweethearts carefully read the truth clarification posters and did not leave. Finally, when they were leaving the young woman had tears in her eyes. They believed that the day would eventually come when Falun Dafa would be exonerated.

5. One day when I gave a flyer to a tourist, he ignored me. This kind of thing happened from time to time and I did not take it to heart. Then I began to clarify the truth with the tourists beside him, "We all voluntarily come here and our purpose is to tell you the facts. Falun Dafa is good and we all benefit from practicing it. We must tell the fact and should not go against our conscience because of the persecution. All the media propaganda in China is fabricated lies. Why do more than sixty other countries all welcome Falun Dafa? If it was not good, then no government would allow its people to practice." On saying that I found all the tourists were listening quietly. I felt pure and serene in my heart and I was earnestly communicating with them. Just then, the tourist who had earlier refused my flyer stretched out his hand and took the flyer from my hand.

6. One morning it began raining heavily while some practitioners were doing the sitting meditation under a bridge. They displayed a lot of truth clarifying materials and photos in front of them. About one hundred tourists were temporarily seeking shelter underneath the bridge. They stood around us; some were reading the Dafa material, some were quietly watching practitioners do the exercises, and still others were watching us clarify the truth from some distance away. I imagine that to these Chinese tourists this big group of Singapore practitioners was an extraordinary scene, and the sound of "Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa" was very powerful. The rain fell harder, and because of the terrain, the rainwater flowed from the other end of the shelter to the end where we displayed our truth clarification materials. I put down the materials in my hand and hurried to save the other materials from getting wet. Water had already wet the cloth they were on. The materials were all made by our practitioners with whatever methods possible, so they are very precious. At that time, a Chinese tourist who was watching us squatted down and helped me to pull the cloth and sort the materials. I thanked him and was moved by his kindness. In the wind and the rain a large group of Chinese tourists stood quietly in front of us, and in front of the truth clarification materials for a long, long time.
