Lady hires airplane to tow a banner that contains 3 inspiring words, ‘True. Kind. Endure.’

This fascinating moment unfolded at Cottesloe Beach, Perth

Aerial advertising is typically employed by businessmen and marketers to promote their products. Surprisingly, one woman in Perth, Western Australia, however, rented an airplane to convey the uplifting principles—“Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance”—following a series of magical dreams. Her aim? She’s simply wanted to spread goodness.
It was a beautiful Sunday morning on December 2 when 3-year-old Orlando caught sight of the fascinating moment at Cottesloe Beach in Perth.
He spotted an airplane with a long tail trailing behind flying in the blue sky.
“Airplane!” Orlando exclaimed to his parents excitedly, pointing to the sky.

Orlando’s parents, Leigh Travers and Sade Travers, looked up and saw the plane towing a 30-meter long banner that read,“BE TRUE. BE KIND. ENDURE-FALUN GONG.”
“Wow! That’s a wonderful message,” Leigh Travers said. “Someone brought this positive message up to the sky for everyone to look at.”
Leigh Travers likes the words on the banner very much because “this is not selling something, but trying to improve people’s spiritual realm.”
It turned out Karen Dunscombe was the mastermind behind this unusual aerial banner.

3 years ago, Dunscombe had a series of magical dreams—she was flying around a bunch of people in the sky.
Almost 2 months later, Dunscombe dreamed of another extraordinary scene.
“In the dream, I saw a lot of people below. So I thought maybe I should let them know about Falun Dafa,” Dunscombe said. “So, while I was flying, I shouted, ‘Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance is good!’ The people below looked up and waved to me.”
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is an ancient mind-body cultivation practice based upon the principles—Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance—which originated from China and is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries.

In fact, Dunscombe kept dreaming of this strange scene for several times.
She didn’t think much about the dreams until a month ago when she encountered something similar in real life.
One particular day while she was practicing Falun Gong slow-moving exercises and meditation in the park, a plane flew past dragging an advertising banner.
In the blink of an eye, she suddenly had a plan in mind—to turn her dream into a reality.

She rushed home to search for “aerial advertising” online and found out one has to pay $900 for a banner and $3,000 for an hour of flying.
“I am very excited, maybe this is what the dreams tell me to do,” Dunscombe said. “I don’t care how much it costs.”
Despite the high cost, her husband and mother were very supportive of this initiative because they know how greatly the practice of Falun Gong has benefited Dunscombe.
“If you really want to do this, just do it. Don’t worry about how much,” her husband told her.
And her mom said, “What a wonderful idea. I really want to see it.”

So, ascertaining “this is what I have to do,” Dunscombe contacted Brian Collingridge for the aerial advertising service. After bargaining, she rented an airplane to tow a banner that read “BE TRUE. BE KIND. ENDURE-FALUN GONG” for two hours over the sky of Cottesloe Beach at $1,150.
Collingridge was initially baffled by what Dunscombe planned to do. But, upon learning about her pure intention and the wonderful message she was trying to disseminate, Collingridge wanted to lend her a hand.
Hence, he discussed with his wife and decided to extend the flight time to 3 hours, with the price remaining the same.

And weeks later on December 2, at 9 a.m., Dunscombe’s dream became a reality as the plane departed from Jandakot Airport and headed north along the coastline at Rockingham.
When passing through Cottesloe Beach, Collingridge circled the plane at a low altitude for three times so that more people could see the inspiring message on the banner.
“I just want to get the positive message out to the people of Perth,” said Dunscombe. “I just wanted, even for that one day, for the people of Perth to read that sign and just feel good in their heart and have a good day.”
“I just want to give back to Falun Gong,” she added. “It is Falun Gong that makes me a better person. I want to bring this positive feeling to more people.”
Thanks to Dunscombe’s good intention, Leigh Travers and his family had an awesome day.
“This is an excellent experience for our family,” said Leigh Travers.
There’s without a doubt the uplifting words—“BE TRUE. BE KIND. ENDURE-FALUN GONG”—had brightened up the day of many other beach-goers on that beautiful Sunday morning.

Editor’s Note: Sadly, while Dunscombe has the freedom to display a banner bearing the principles of Falun Gong—Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance—in Australia, in China, however, Falun Gong practitioners have been arrested for possessing a banner with the same message.
On Jul. 20, 1999, out of jealousy and fear of the practice’s immense popularity, former Chinese Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin launched a nationwide campaign to defame, slander, and persecute Falun Gong, even though it improves people’s health and uplifts their morality.

阿根廷一家亚洲料理餐厅内的故事

明慧网二零一八年五月二十九日】两年前,当地一位法轮功学员在阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯市区开了一家传统中国料理餐厅,所有工作人员都是法轮功学员。这家餐厅一方面给当地学员提供工作收入,另一方面可以用来向主流社会讲真相,推广神韵。

由于餐厅的店面位于市中心,顾客中有很多专业人士,其中不少是企业主,还有华人。餐厅供应地道的台湾美食及其它亚洲料理,专注于健康、家乡风味美食,又能满足顾客挑剔的味蕾。我们只使用有机的蛋,不使用味精及大陆生产的产品,只使用来自台湾、泰国、韩国的调味料。由于我们的餐点及服务的品质非常好,很快我们就有了一群忠实的客户;而且我们开餐厅的初衷是为了证实法及推广神韵,收到的效果也相当好,我们也想在此分享许多与客户互动的经验。

在餐厅工作的大法弟子在南半球的阿根廷向师父问好。
来用餐的客人,用餐后与大法弟子一起祝贺世界法轮大法日。
三位来自不同国度的客人,来我们餐厅用餐后非常高兴,不仅品尝了美食,同时了解到大法的真相。

用心做好饭菜 用心讲清真相

在我们餐馆里每天都有不同的故事。这天,餐馆里来了一个来自新疆的年轻女子和哥伦比亚的同事,她们二人负责替一家北京石油服务公司拓展在拉美的业务。她们对餐馆的饭菜非常满意,尤其是中国来的女士。哥伦比亚的女士表示,她的中国同事因为在我们餐馆终于找到了可口的中国菜,决定在布宜诺斯艾利斯留下来。她非常高兴,问了我许多问题。她说她会一直来餐馆吃饭。我想,如果我现在跟她讲法轮功,她可能就不再来了。但她一直不停的问我的背景。所以我终于说:“我是法轮功学员。实际上餐馆的所有员工都是法轮功学员。”她听后非常吃惊。她表示,不太了解法轮功,并表示她无法相信中共在迫害自己的人民。
当天早些时候,我结束了记者的采访,并告诉记者关于中共活摘法轮功学员器官的调查报告“血腥的活摘器官”。所以我也告诉这位女士关于采访的事,并让她在我的手提电脑上看英文版“血腥的活摘器官”(她英文非常好)。她看了关于中国医生从二千名法轮功学员身上活摘眼角膜的部分。她问是在哪家医院发生的。我告诉她是苏家屯,而且有数百家医院参与活摘。
我还跟她讲了二位一年前来阿根廷的学员在中国受迫害的故事。其中一位被酷刑折磨九年,牙齿被勺子打掉,身体被倒吊长达几天,受到殴打、电击折磨等。我可以看出,她很难一下子消化这么多,身体开始颤抖,感觉很不安。最后她拿了法轮功资料和《九评共产党》。她说她要进一步查询。她表示,去过很多国家,看到法轮功学员发资料。这次是她第一次跟法轮功学员交谈。
第二天,一位二十五岁的中国人来就餐。他非常健谈,并开始跟餐馆老板交谈。老板告诉他:她和所有的员工都是法轮功学员。他说:“法轮功?法轮功不都是疯子吗?”我说:“你现在了解我们了,你跟我交谈了,你也看到其他的员工了,他们是疯子吗?”他说:“不,你不是疯子。你人非常好。这家餐馆非常好,环境很好。但我读到的新闻都说法轮功学员怎么不好。”我说:“这是因为你看的都是中共的假新闻,而且相信了他们的谎言。中共告诉你的都是谎言,中共一直在向中国人撒谎。”
所以我又把真相材料给他看,因为他一开始时不接。我跟他说,希望他看《大纪元时报》,因为大纪元报道的是中国真相。他接过了真相材料和报纸,但犹豫是否要拿《九评共产党》,因为他吃完饭还要去其它地方见人。
他说他第二天飞中国前再来拿《九评》。最后我说服他把《九评》拿到他住的旅馆再去见他的朋友。我跟他说,读《九评》非常重要,可以让他了解中共迫害法轮功的真相和发生在中国的真实情况。
离开前,他说他现在明白了法轮功学员是好人。他说我们餐馆的饭菜非常好吃。餐馆里是否有中国大厨。我说,没有。所有的大厨都是阿根廷当地的法轮功学员。她们饭做的很好,因为我们都是用心在做。
在过去的几年中,许多华人来到我们餐厅吃饭,从上班族到游客到政府官员。我们每周向他们发送来自大纪元的消息,在神韵演出期间,向他们发送中文传单。我们并在餐厅大堂设置了一个大屏幕电视,他们就可以一边吃饭,一边了解真相。在餐厅的无线上网的密码是“法轮大法好”,所以当他们要求时,他们必须重复并输入到他们的智能手机。有时他们有点吃惊,有时则会心而笑。
一开始,我们不少顾客来自一家中国大公司,因为他们的办公室就在附近。他们都知道我们是法轮大法修炼者,并提供良好优质的食物和服务。几个月后,他们来用餐的次数少了很多,也许是因为我们的价格上涨了,也许是他们的公司设立了两个食堂,提供员工免费食品。有一次,当他们的食堂关闭几天时,我们的餐厅里坐满了这家公司的员工。一位该公司的员工告诉我们,她想去看神韵,但公司的政策是,公司员工不应该去看这个演出。我们听到这件事非常难过,当我们与阿根廷本地的顾客分享这些信息时,他们对公司如何规定员工的私人生活感到困惑。但这也是揭示邪恶的中共思想文化渗透到当地华人社区的一个例子。
当我们与中国游客和商人谈论法轮大法,并向他们提供阅读材料时,会有很多不同的反应。一些人会阅读或拿走真相材料,一些人只听,大部分看我们的视频,一些人吃得很快,一旦他们意识到我们讲中共迫害修炼者的真相时,就试图离开。
一位中国顾客第二天即将回到中国,他拿走了我们所有的阅读材料,以便他能够在旅馆中阅读,然后飞回去。
另一位中国人三次来吃同一道菜“宫保鸡丁”。在他最后一次来的时候,带着真相资料和《转法轮》离开。
来自阿根廷另一个城市的一位中国顾客来到我们餐厅两次。他第二次来的时候告诉我们,如果我们在他的城市开一家餐馆,那会非常成功。我们的一位中国顾客在我们周末的讲真相活动中陪同我们前往唐人街,还有其他人驾车前往布宜诺斯艾利斯的一些景点参观。一位中国顾客感到惊讶,我们的服务员都是法轮功学员,一遍又一遍地说:“法轮功好”。
有一天,一群中国人坐在电视机前的主桌旁。因为时间还很早,他们是当天的第一批顾客。其中一人起身关掉电视。我们打开它;他再次起身关掉了它,我们再次打开电视,并告诉他不要再触摸电视机,这不是中国,我们有权在我们的餐厅播放我们要播放的内容,他这么做是非法的。他别无选择,只能坐下来听录像。他的朋友们责备他的无礼。后来,他们都愉快用餐,吃完饭后,其中的一些人对法轮大法已经有了正面的看法。
有一次,有八名来自中国达喀尔团队的中国成员(两名飞行员和他们的技术人员)来到我们的餐厅,点了葡萄酒和啤酒。当他们在电视上看到关于法轮大法的真相视频时,他们感到很高兴。他们告诉我们,这个地方有很好的能量。他们甚至为法轮功敬酒。其中一名飞行员告诉我们,他住在加拿大,但他的亲戚住在长春,他们都修炼法轮大法,他现场展示了几套功法动作,并说,他曾经见过李洪志师父,认识李洪志师父,也知道他在传法。他们都说,“谢谢师父,谢谢师父”。并说,中国达喀尔团队知道法轮大法,而且作为中国人,可以自由表达意见,这对我们来说是一个非常愉快的经历。

用正念让每一位顾客都感到快乐

许多顾客来我们的餐厅吃饭,不仅因为我们的食物美味,而且还让他们感觉更好,特别是午餐后,他们仍然需要回到办公室工作。我们的客户之一是前国家安全局局长。他的办公室就在附近,他每天都在外面吃饭。他告诉我们,自从他开始在我们餐厅吃饭以后,胃病问题就没有了。
另一位客户两年前开始与他的两个成年子女一起来用餐。他在该地区拥有一家古董店。当他第一次来时,他告诉我们他患有慢性胃痛。在我们的餐厅,他总是点同一道菜:炸鸡排配米饭。人们会认为,油炸食物对患有慢性胃病的人不好,但他很快告诉我们,他们在我们餐厅吃饭后胃痛就没了。有时他甚至会带同一道菜回家当晚饭吃。
从食物的角度来看,我们的质量控制水平非常高,因为我们使用有机鸡肉和新鲜的油,而日式面包也是我们自己做的,我们每天都会揉、蒸、烤。从修炼的角度来看,我们的食品不仅质量最高,而且作为修炼者,身体散发着正的能量,这些正的能量也投入到所做的一切事情中,“润物细无声”,因此,来用餐的客人能通过食物和我们服务感受到大法的美好。这位顾客将法轮大法和介绍神韵的传单带到他的公司,并且总是向他的客户提及我们。
在餐厅里,我们都以法轮大法修炼者的标准为人处世。许多人对我们的食品和服务质量感到非常惊讶,以至于我们有来自住在布宜诺斯艾利斯、迈阿密和巴西圣保罗的客户向我们认真的提出商业计划。智利、乌拉圭甚至台湾和纽约的客户也告诉我们,应该在他们的城市开设分店,会非常成功。我们告诉他们,我们成功的秘诀是因为我们修炼法轮大法,才能够像这样工作。
在餐厅开业的这两年中,我们有很多顾客了解大法的真相,对法轮大法很感兴趣。有的去炼功点学习,有的则买了《转法轮》,其中一位已走入了修炼。

在日常工作中修炼

餐馆业务是非常艰苦的,工作时间长,客人多时,是非常紧张的,因为我们要做得快,还要做得好。其它餐馆老板告诉我们:管理阿根廷餐厅工作人员有多困难;餐厅的工作人员对工作并不满意,因为薪水和工作量往往不相匹配;每天都是工作日;当有人生病请假时,其他人必须做更多;还有信任和偷窃的问题。当人们告诉我们这一点时,我们可以坚定地说,在这方面,我们餐厅的员工都是模范。因为我们生活中遵循真、善、忍的原则,都以奉献和用心去工作。餐馆的同修经常告诉顾客:“我们能这样做,是因为在这里工作的都是法轮大法修炼者。”

餐馆的员工每天一起学《转法轮》

师父在《转法轮》中说:“这些职工学了你们法轮大法之后,早来晚走,兢兢业业的干活,领导分派什么活儿从来不挑,在利益上也不去争了。他们这样一做,把整个厂的精神面貌全部带起来了,厂子经济效益也好了。你们这功这么厉害,你们老师什么时候来,我也去参加。”
我们体会到,因为有大法修炼原则做指导,促进了我们的身心不断提升,也促进了我们的精神文明状况。我们还在修炼中,有很多执着和缺点要改进、修去。但有大法的原则做指导,在发生冲突时,我们要向内看,并向所有人生出善念;而且我们明白自己是法轮大法修炼者,我们所做的一切都试图用纯洁正直的心去做。餐厅的每位员工都全力投入到自己的工作中,无论他们是洗盘子,准备食物,烹饪还是服务。我们每个人都想通过这个餐厅的工作,让更多人了解大法的真相。谢谢师父给我们这个机会!

[VIDEO] 连环画音像片:评江泽民与中共相互利用迫害法轮功

Uruguay: Meditation changed rowdy and violent students into tolerant and calmer children

If you’ve ever stepped into a rowdy classroom, you’ve most likely come across students chatting, yawning, and even raising voices.
It may seem the rambunctious students are banding together to push you over the edge.
©clipart-library.com
What should teachers do to deal with rowdiness in the classroom?  
To silence the noisy students, most teachers will employ methods, such as ringing a call bell, or raising their voice, saying “Attention, class.”
One state school in Montevideo, Uruguay, which had been facing discipline challenges with its students, however, utilized an orthodox approach, and it’s working!

In March 2016, the school initiated a project with the aim to create a calmer atmosphere in the classroom, preventing violence, and improving school performance.
The project required each teacher to conduct something that would help build a culture of peaceful coexistence in each classroom.
Sixth-grade teacher, Yennyfer Quartino, decided to introduce Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa—an ancient mind-body cultivation practice that has greatly improved her own physical and mental health—to her students, aged between 11 and 14 years old.
©en.minghui.org
Quartino and her students began practicing Falun Dafa’s slow-moving exercises and sitting meditation daily in the school courtyard after lunch and before the afternoon classes.
Amazingly, a few weeks later, all the other students in the school joined in to learn the practice too.
Eventually, almost the whole school performs the Falun Dafa exercises daily.
As time went by, the seeds of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance—Falun Dafa’s principles—gradually grew in these students’ hearts and changed them fundamentally.
©en.minghui.org
The students—who used to have discipline problems, such as violence, fatigue, lack of concentration, and poor academic performance—have become more focused and tranquil in class.
“The school day is long,” Quartino told Minghui.org. “Many students were tired, had no energy, and couldn’t focus on their classwork.”
“The results have been wonderful,” she added.
©en.minghui.org
The headmistress noticed the students’ improvement as well. She said, “They benefited not only physically, but spiritually. They breathe and relax and come to the classroom focused and with a good attitude.”
“These kids had serious concentration problems and were violent in the classroom. The changes they’ve made are soul-stirring,” the school inspector enthused.
©en.minghui.org
And the students like the practice too.
Josefina, a sixth-grade student, said, “I feel relaxed, I like it. And afterward, when we go to the classroom, I feel as if all the stress I had before practicing Falun Dafa is gone.”
“I feel more relaxed and free,” said a third-grade girl.
A fourth-grade boy chimed in, “I feel a lot of energy.”
“Strength!” said third-grade students, Nicole and Belén, in unison.
©en.minghui.org
The key to discipline a child is to teach him how to control his own behavior so that you don’t have to.
Hence, after practicing Falun Dafa, the students were able to take its principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance to guide themselves in daily life. By looking within and steadily improve themselves to become a good person, the children have experienced peace, self-control, and this, in turn, helped foster a healthy, kind, and tolerant learning environment.
“Before, everyone was bad tempered, but now we are calmer,” said Joaquín, a sixth-grader.
Student Leandro added, “If he misbehaves, I must tolerate it.”

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity.
