(Clearwisdom.net) On the weekend of September 6 and 7, 2005, a health fair was held in Kongsvinger, southern Norway. The practitioners were invited to participate in the fair to show the five gentle, but powerful Falun Gong exercises and to talk about Falun Gong and the brutal persecution that is happening in China today.

Norwegian Falun Gong practitioners participate in a health fair

We were given a nice place just by the entrance, so many people got to see and learn about Falun Gong. Most of them became interested in learning Falun Gong themselves. During the fair we had many long conversations with people to answer their many questions about Falun Gong and about why Falun Gong is persecuted in China. People cold not understand why such a peaceful practice was persecuted. Also, the interest among the visitors was great and many left with the introductory book and Zhuan Falun, the main book in Falun Gong. It explains what cultivation is all about, and it tells about life and the three universal principles of "Truth, Compassion and Tolerance" which are the essential principles in Falun Gong.

Two introduction courses were held to let those interested learn the exercises the same day. Many people participated. One of the courses had to be held over 2 hours, so as to be able to answer all the questions from the participants and to let all of the participants learn the exercises thoroughly. The participants were really interested and did not like to leave. Several participants asked to be contacted next time if there would be a Falun Gong course in Kongsvinger.
