(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners introduced the meditation practice in Nisantasi, an upscale neighborhood in Istanbul, on Saturday, August 31, 2019.
A group of children followed along with the exercise demonstration from beginning to end. They read about Falun Dafa from the flyers and said its principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are “a very good thing.”
