(Minghui.org) Shen Yun Performing Arts gave nine completely sold-out performances in San Diego in early 2015. Many locals who attended were touched by Falun Gong's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and expressed a desire to learn this traditional cultivation practice.

Over the last four months, some 6,000 people have subscribed to the Facebook page about learning Falun Dafa in San Diego. Many have joined local weekly group exercise practices and attended free Falun Dafa workshops.

Falun Gong practitioners in San Diego regularly hold free exercise instruction classes in public libraries and parks. San Diego practitioners were recently invited to teach the Falun Gong exercises in community centers and schools.

More than 20 students and their teachers learn the Falun Gong exercises at a youth center at a U.S. Air Force Base in San Diego. They were all able to sit with both legs crossed during the meditation.
