Taiwan: Falun Dafa Seminars at a Government Institution (Photos) By a Taiwan Falun Gong practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) On March 8, Taiwan Central Administration Building
started a "Healthier Staff Campaign--Falun Dafa Lecture Series." The lectures
have been welcomed by the staff and have had very good feedback. On March 17,
Dr. Ao Manguan, Falun Gong practitioner and director of the Orthopedics
Department in Taipei Chenxing Hospital, was invited to give a lecture on his
experience with Falun Dafa and his opinion on the way to ultimate health. The
event was well attended, without even one vacant seat.
Because the first lecture "The century crisis of plague and the way to a
healthier body" given by Dr. Hu Naiwen on March 10 was widely appreciated and
highly commended, many people came to the second lecture ahead of time. While
waiting, they looked through Falun Dafa introduction materials and photos about
Falun Dafa spreading around the world and the truth of the self-immolation
staged by Jiang's group. All the Falun Dafa materials were given out, and many
people asked where they could learn to practice for themselves.
In his lecture, Dr. Ao shared his view that many things are connected to each
other and that one's health is related to one's lifestyle and many other
factors. He encouraged the audience to relate morality with the welfare of the
human being by quoting one of Mr. Li Hongzhi's articles:
"When people do not have virtue, natural calamities and man-made
disasters will abound. When the earth does not have virtue, everything will
wither and fall. When heaven deviates from the Dao, the ground will crack,
the sky will collapse, and the whole universe will be empty. When the Fa is
right, the universe will be right. Life will flourish, heaven and earth will
be stable, and the Fa will exist forever." (When the Fa is Right,
November 12, 1995).
Modern medical research has shown that a peaceful mind and a compassionate
heart are the magic prescription for better heath. Dr. Ao said that the
teachings of Falun Dafa are very profound and emphasizes cultivating one's heart
and mind nature to be truthful, compassionate and tolerant, which agrees with
modern medicine. On the other hand, Falun Dafa exercises are very simple and
easy to learn. Dr. Ao's lecture received the audience's enthusiastic applause. A Swedish gentleman was listening to the lecture from outside the room. He
spoke Chinese fluently, and said that he knew that Falun Dafa is good and that
many people around the world are practicing it. A practitioner gave him a Falun
Dafa bookmark and told him where to find Falun Dafa websites. He gladly accepted
the bookmark and said that he would definitely check it out online.
Some overseas Chinese from U.S. and Argentina came back to Taiwan for
business. When they saw practitioners doing the exercises together inside the
building, they were surprised by the fact that people can practice in a
government institution. They all said that they had heard that Falun Dafa is
good and is very popular in the U.S. Some of them had even attended Professor
Chang Ching-his's lecture on Falun Dafa back in the U.S.. The person from
Argentina asked if there are any Falun Gong practitioners there. Practitioners
told him that there are many in Argentina and a Falun Dafa conference just
concluded in Buenos Aires, Argentina's capitol. He was very happy when he was
given a Falun Gong flier.
Another group of 16 Chinese-American businessmen came to visit the
Legislative Council. When they saw photos of practitioners practicing Falun
Gong, they exclaimed "Falun Gong!" After learning the truth about Falun Gong,
many of them asked for truth-clarifying materials and VCDs. Posting date: 3/25/2004
