On October 1st, all major TV channels and other news media in Netherlands reported the large-scale arrest by the Chinese government of some one thousand Dafa practitioners who peacefully appealed in Tiananmen Square on China's National Day. To support these Dafa practitioners and to express our high regard for these practitioners who bravely came out to call for an end to the persecution and to express the truth to both the people and the government, the Dafa practitioners in the Netherlands decided to go to the Chinese Embassy in Netherlands to appeal peacefully on October 6th.

Everyone cherished this valuable cultivation opportunity to gather together to "assist Master in the human realm." It was quite touching to see that some Western practitioners decided to break through the barriers that held them to just personal cultivation and that they also came out to protect the Fa.

During this event, we watched one elderly Dutch gentleman ride his bike in front of our group practice lines several times. At last, he decided to stop and express his feelings about the unfair treatment of Dafa practitioners in China. He also expressed his encouragement and support for our activities before he left.

We hope more Dafa practitioners can come out to each contribute the strength of even one Dafa particle. We hope they can really move away from being ordinary people to combine personal cultivation together with the Fa rectifying and hongfa (promoting the Fa).
