(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Bavaria, Germany, participated in several local events this July, including the popular children's festival in Roding City and Neumarkt City, as well as the recent health expo in the district of Cham. Many people were attracted to the peaceful nature of the mind and body practice and decided to give it a try.

Parents and children learn the Falun Dafa exercises.

Visitors to the health expo try out the exercises.

A child (right) who learned the exercises at last year's health expo came again this year and did the sitting meditation.

Parents Recount Their Children's Interest in Falun Dafa

“After learning the exercises at the children's festival, my son went home and practiced the movements according to the video instructions he found on the website.”

“My child listened to information about Falun Dafa at the festival and continued to do the exercises, without asking for help at home.”

“Can I have a few of the paper lotus flowers? I want to give them to my grandchildren so that they will be reminded to follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance that it says on the bookmark attached to the flowers.”

“Can I take a photo of the words ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance’? I want them for the wallpaper of my cell phone.”

“I have been told about the persecution in China. I want to sign the petition at once to end this tragedy.”

“Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance—these are the most beautiful words I've ever heard.”

The above are some of the comments visitors made at the children's festival and health expo after they were introduced to Falun Dafa.

Daniela, one of the participants at the health expo, suffered from depression before she practiced Falun Dafa. She could not eat or sleep, refused to take a bath, and had trouble expressing herself. Doctors advised her to go to a mental health clinic. 

Her good friend gave her a copy Zhuan Falun, the main book of the Falun Dafa teachings. She read it earnestly, and three weeks later all her symptoms disappeared. 

Coincidentally, a mental health clinic set up a display at the expo. Daniela shared her experience with the staff at the clinic, and they were amazed to hear about the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa.
