Josael Rodrigues learned the exercises on the spot. He said he wished to learn the practice afterwards. His wish was fulfilled, “It is great that I could connect with this energy from the universe.  From now on, I’ll come to participate in group practice every week. I’ll read Dafa books and practice the exercises at home every day.”

Wayne Taurerewa, a passer-by, said that he wanted to advise the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that it does not have the right to persecute Chinese people. The CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China is inhumane. People’s should not be deprived of their freedom.
