(Minghui.org) “They emit good energy. I feel a strong energy around these people,” Andrzej, a tourist visiting Ireland, said while he watched practitioners quietly do the exercises in Dublin, Ireland’s capital city, on March 21, 2026.
Practitioners held activities in Dublin every weekend in February and March 2026 to raise awareness about the persecution in China.
Dublin’s city center is a major draw for tourists. Every weekend in February and March, Falun Gong practitioners held activities there to introduce the practice and expose the ongoing persecution in China. Via flyers, poster displays, and collecting signatures on a petition, they expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners including the regime’s forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience. Many people stop to watch the Falun Gong exercise demonstrations and sign the petition that calls for an end to the persecution.
Falun Gong Is the Real China
Marie-Beatrice from France has lived in Ireland for many years. She said she had already heard of Falun Gong and she thought the principles of the practice—Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance—are wonderful. “Your philosophy is my philosophy, to be honest,” she said.
After Marie-Beatrice signed the petition calling on the CCP to end the forced organ harvesting, she shared her understanding of the persecution. “The Chinese government doesn't allow people to be in touch with their own souls. They just want you to obey, to be little soldiers, right? That’s the point of their education.”
Marie-Beatrice (right) praised Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
On the other hand, Marie-Beatrice said she loves Traditional Chinese Medicine, and she said that Chinese traditional culture is profound. “When you’re in touch with yourself, you have power. The CCP doesn’t want to see this, especially when so many people have this power.”
She pointed to the flyer introducing Falun Gong and said, “This is the real China.”
This Persecution Must End
A middle-aged woman named Martha signed the petition on the last Saturday in February. She said she’d previously seen media reports about the persecution of Falun Gong on television in America, “But I’ve never seen Falun Gong in public before. I walked past [you] but I decided to walk back.”
Her voice broke while talking to practitioners and she wiped away tears several times. She said that doctors recently told her she doesn’t have long to live, so she joined a tour to Ireland as she wanted to fulfill a wish: “I’m Irish and I wanted to place my feet on the ground where my forefathers were.”
Facing death has made Marsha realize how precious life is. When she saw information about people brutally beaten to death, and their organs removed without their consent for refusing to give up their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, she was particularly heartbroken. “It has to stop,” she kept saying. “Seeing so many people willing to stop and find out more, I am truly consoled. It’s very important to stop this persecution.
“God made all of us. It’s a very small planet. They are me,” she said pointing at practitioners demonstrating the exercises. “Life is precious. To able to help others, this is important. Regardless of which country we come from, we are one.”
Before leaving, Martha thanked practitioners several times for persisting in telling people about the persecution. “I will also tell more people about this,” she said.
Exposing the Evil Through Peaceful Means
Dylan, a young Irish man, gave practitioners a thumbs up. He commended them for maintaining righteous thoughts in the face of the brutal suppression. He said, “Stay positive, and the more positive we can stay, it will attract more positive thoughts and attract good vibrations and high frequencies. We must stay positive in tough times.”
Dylan said whether it is the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance or practitioners demonstrating the exercises, their presence made him feel “a very positive energy.” He encouraged practitioners, “We must stay positive, keep the faith, keep believing, and keep fighting. Fight the evil through peaceful means.”
Irish People Condemn the CCP’s Crimes of Organ Harvesting
Claire was pushing her bicycle on February 7, when she also stopped to sign the petition to end the organ harvesting. She said she believes that the Western medical system is inefficient or perhaps it is the public’s disappointment in the healthcare system that has encouraged the CCP’s organ harvesting crimes. “When someone says, ‘Go to China and you can have an operation in a few days,’ nobody’s thinking about this or thinking about, okay, hang on, how is this possible? Am I contributing to this horrendous trade? This horrendous incitement and persecution of people. People don’t think this way because the health system in their country is on the verge of collapse, and people are under tremendous pressure.”
Claire signed the petition to end the forced organ harvesting.
She spoke to practitioners for nearly an hour. “China is such an old culture,” she said. “It has such deep wisdom. It’s very sad that economic forces are taking over.”
Dylan also signed the petition that day. “I believe every person should live in peace, especially people that are practicing their own religions. Regardless of their belief, they should be living in peace. They shouldn’t have to be worrying about their kids growing up and getting kidnapped or their organs removed without consent. No matter how old they are, they should not be treated like that. This is a basic human right, to be able to live.”
Dylan said he admires practitioners for speaking out and calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong in China.
When asked about his thoughts on Falun Gong, Dylan mentioned the word “peaceful” several times. He said, “They are literally so peaceful, just in a meditative state. They are relaxed. That is what you call peace.”
