(Minghui.org) The Toronto Woodworking Show was held at the International Centre in Toronto from January 17 to 19, 2025. The Falun Dafa booth drew many people who stopped and watched as practitioners demonstrated the exercises. Some asked for more information, and others learned the exercises.
Visitors came to the booth to learn about ways to relax their bodies and minds. Some asked if there were any practice sites near Toronto, or asked about online classes for their families. Some said they were drawn by Falun Dafa’s principles, and bought Falun Dafa books such as Zhuan Falun to read at home.
Top manufacturers and woodworking enthusiasts from Canada, the U.K., the U.S., Costa Rica and other countries came to exchange woodworking techniques and display the latest equipment and tools.
Practitioners introduced Falun Dafa during the Toronto Woodworking Show.
People Like Falun Dafa
Lourdes from Portugal runs a cabinet business in Canada with her husband. She saw the booth and asked practitioners about Falun Dafa. Practitioners gave her a brief introduction and invited Lourdes to try the exercises.

After Lourdes did the first four exercises, she said she felt relaxed, “This is the first time I tried such exercises. I feel very good. I’ve looked for a way to meditate, so my mind could relax. I think this is what I am looking for.” A practitioner suggested she attend the free online teaching class (learnfalungong.com) to learn more about it.
The practitioner also told her about improving one’s mind through the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Lourdes said, “This is a good concept. I like it very much. We should always remind ourselves and practice these concepts in real life.” She said she would attend the online class and learn more about Falun Dafa.
Dafa Helps People Feel Peaceful
Breanna and Kristen are sisters and their mother worked at another booth. When she saw that the Falun Dafa exercises were taught for free, she suggested her daughters learn them.

After practicing the first four exercises, the two girls said they felt very peaceful. A practitioner told them that in addition to doing the exercises, Falun Dafa also has the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance to guide people’s lives. Kristen said that truthfulness was very important. Breanna commented on compassion, “It’s important to be kind to others and consider their feelings.”
Admires Falun Dafa’s Principles
David is a logging tool agent. His booth was next to the Falun Dafa booth, and his business was very good during the three days. He chatted with practitioners and said, “I’ve seen you at exhibitions for many years, and I know a little bit about your plight.” He pointed to the content about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa on the flyer and said, “I know that the CCP is hostile to you. The CCP is a dictatorship.”
David agrees with Falun Dafa’s principles.
David admired Falun Dafa’s principles and said, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are wonderful. Is there anything wrong with truthfulness? Is there anything wrong with compassion? Is there anything wrong with tolerance and forgiveness between people? These three words are all very good.”
He also said, “Falun Dafa includes the exercises and [helps people] control their thoughts and emotions. I like this. My personal view is that people’s emotions affect their behavior; people’s attitude towards their emotional fluctuations lead to corresponding results: good thoughts bring good results.”
