(Minghui.oirg) Practitioners in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, held an Information Day in the center of Bochum on March 28, 2026. Many local residents learned about the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa and how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecutes the spiritual discipline.

Birgit was interested in learning about Falun Dafa.

“I don’t usually stop at booths, but this is special,” said Birgit, who lives nearby. She parked her bike and watched as practitioners did the exercises. “They look focused and compassionate,” she said.

Birgit said she meditated, often thought about the meaning of life, and believes what’s truly important is improving one’s inner being instead of pursuing money or power. She said that, when she saw “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance,” she felt they were her values, too.

She said, “Truthfulness is an important foundation for a beautiful life, as are Compassion and Forbearance. If we can’t tolerate or forgive, we will be destroyed by self-blame and self-destruction, and blame or destroy others. If we are compassionate, we won’t get depressed because of bad things and will prosper.”

Birgit said the German government, the European Union, the G7 countries, and all human rights organizations should take action to end the persecution of Falun Dafa in China. She would help by letting her friends know about these egregious human rights abuses.

Miguel said he agreed with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. “Those who uphold these principles are good people. Those who trample on these principles are bad.

“What you are doing is important! No one should be persecuted. If no one takes action, nothing will change. I respect your stepping forward. That’s why I signed the petition.”
