People wait in line to sign a petition opposing the persecution at a Falun Gong information table beside the Plague Column on the Graben, Vienna.
An elderly man approached a practitioner at the Falun Gong information table near the Plague Column in Vienna. The man told the practitioner that the lady accompanying him also practices qigong. He said he had learned of the persecution of Falun Gong a long time ago and was encouraging the lady to learn more about the persecution, and the torture the Chinese Communist Party subjects Falun Gong practitioners to in China.
The lady listened to a practitioner explain the 21-year-long persecution. She thanked the practitioner and took some printed materials.
A couple from Albania were very interested in Falun Gong. They spoke to a practitioner for a while and were delighted to hear about the benefits of the practice and the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
The practitioners gave a beautiful paper lotus flower to a little girl, who was admiring it while her father signed the petition opposing the persecution. The father told practitioners that he felt it was important that he sign the petition to express his support.
Two ladies from China accepted lotus flowers from practitioners and appeared very happy to hear a western practitioner speaking Chinese to them. The practitioner told them, “Falun Dafa Hao” and “Zhen Shan Ren Hao.” They watched the exercise demonstration and read some fliers.
