(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Kansas were invited to introduce Falun Gong to employees of Associated Youth Services (AYS) on May 8, 2013. Those who attended the introductory session learned how to do the exercises. On hearing about the upcoming World Falun Dafa Day and Master Li Hongzhi's birthday, they offered their congratulations.

Learning the exercises

Employees of AYS wish Master Happy Birthday.

For 41 years, AYS has helped youth and families in the community through its various programs. Two employees were fascinated by Falun Dafa, the ancient cultivation practice, at a community health fair. They suggested to an AYS administrator that practitioners be invited to teach the exercises. The administrator wanted to see more people benefit from it, so she sent emails to AYS-related organizations in surrounding towns and invited practitioners to introduce Falun Gong on May 8.

Practitioners explained the principles of Falun Dafa, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and how the practice has improved the health and morality of one hundred million people around the world. Everyone at the introductory session wanted to learn it. They watched exercise teaching video and learned the first four exercises.
