(Minghui.org) Lublin is a historical city in eastern Poland. It was the largest trade post between Poland and Lithuania in the 15th and 16th century. The Union of Lublin was signed on July 1, 1569, which established the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
This year, Lublin celebrated the 450th anniversary of signing the union, and held a 3-day event. Polish Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong) practitioners participated in the event to introduce the practice to local residents during the weekend of August 17-18, 2019.

Experiencing a Strong Energy Field

Ewa (middle) experienced a strong energy field when practitioners demonstrated the exercises
Ewa and Ms. Katarzyna shared that they will learn the Falun Gong exercises together.
“My entire body was sore and feeling pain for years,” recounted Ewa. “I am almost accustomed to it. But, my soreness disappeared yesterday when I was watching the exercise demonstration. I could feel a strong energy field. Therefore, I returned today to get an introduction to this cultivation practice.”
She continued, “I also bought the book Falun Dafa – The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection, once I saw that Katarzyna had bought one. I was lucky, as it was the last one.”
She had signed the petition opposing the persecution, and said it was unbelievable that the communist regime continues to persecute Falun Dafa, and has persecuted peaceful people for so long.

Reporter Witnessing Falun Gong Persecution 20 Years Ago
Mr. Kazimier, a retired reporter, signed the petition
Kazimier was a reporter working for a Polish media in Beijing in 1999.
“That summer 20 years ago,” he said, “I was there when the communists were arresting Falun Dafa people on Tiananmen Square. I took some photos. A police officer ran toward me. To protect the photos, I switched my camera with my friend.”
He was interrogated for more than one-and-a-half hours in a police station before he was released, and said, ”My article was published in Lublin's newspaper. I am a witness of Falun Dafa being persecuted.”
“I have been paying attention to the matter for the past 20 years. I respect that Falun Dafa never gave up, and persisted to tell the truth. I respect and support Falun Dafa very much. I believe the persecutors will be brought to justice.”
