(Clearwisdom.net) On January 30, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners held an activity celebrating the fourth Falun Dafa Day in the small town of Lerum.
The first Falun Dafa Day was inaugurated on January 30, 2003, by Bengt H rnlund on behalf of the community's Health Council, and the Chairman of the Child and Youth Committee. At that time, he commended Falun Gong practitioners and expressed his support to practitioners who were being persecuted in China. The Lerum Community also issued a proclamation (please refer http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200302/10096.html).
Falun Dafa was introduced to Lerum in 1999. Today, there are many practice sites where people can learn the exercises for free and practice together. Many people have experienced Falun Dafa's benefits on practitioners' health and well-being. In addition, Falun Dafa has received a lot of support and appreciation in Lerum.
Demonstrating the five sets of exercises
Youngsters especially appreciated the paper lotus flowers
This year's Falun Dafa Day was a normal cold day with a lot of snow, as is usual in this time of year in Sweden. Nevertheless, practitioners held an event outside the community house. They demonstrated the five sets of exercises, distributed fliers and also hand-made paper lotus flowers that were especially appreciated by the children.
Many people accepted the fliers even though it was very cold. One lady approached the practitioners and said she felt very happy to see Falun Gong that day. She and her co-workers had been searching on the Internet for information about Falun Gong because they wanted to know where they could learn the practice. She got information about the closest practice site and then left very happy.
