Indonesia: Jakarta Residents Learn About Falun Dafa

Nov. 16, 2025 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Indonesia

(Minghui.org) At the end of October and the beginning of November, 2025, Falun Dafa practitioners in Jakarta, Indonesia, introduced their practice at two different locations.

Kembangan Subdistrict Office Staff Learn Falun Dafa

On Friday, October 31, 2025, practitioners were invited to introduce Falun Dafa to the staff of the Kembangan Subdistrict Office in West Jakarta. The event took place in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. It began with practitioners explaining what Falun Dafa is, sharing its history, and recounting their personal experiences before they began practicing Falun Dafa.

The session continued with participants performing the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises together. One female staff member shared her experience and said, “I felt refreshed and light after I did the exercises.” Another participant expressed a similar feeling, adding, “Since our tongues touch the roof of our mouths, we don’t speak to one another, which helps us focus and connect with nature. I could feel the positive energy of the universe entering my body—good energy returning within, and bad energy being released.”

Introducing Falun Dafa at Jakarta’s Car Free Day

Falun Dafa practitioners also introduced the practice during Car Free Day in Central Jakarta, on Sunday morning, November 9, 2025. The weekly event, organized by the provincial government, aims to promote the importance of clean air and reduce dependence on private vehicles as part of an effort to improve air quality in the capital city. Falun Dafa practitioners participate in the event once a month.

They set up an information booth, demonstrated the five sets of exercises, and distributed informational materials to the public. Many passersby stopped to watch as practitioners did the exercises—some took video, while others visited the booth to learn more about Falun Dafa. Several new participants joined the group exercises immediately after receiving information about the practice.

Niarti (67 years old) said she felt energized after participating in the group exercises.

Niarti, a 67-year-old participant who joined the exercises that morning, shared her impressions and thoughts. “I feel very energized. I think this teaching is very sincere. I’ve been searching for something that teaches these kinds of values,” she said.

Niarti praised Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, saying, “In my opinion, these principles are very much needed in today’s society. As human beings, we should have these qualities within us, but after getting married, I felt I became less patient and more easily angered. I want to change that part of myself.”

A national online media outlet covered the practitioners’ activities that morning: “Finding Peace Amidst the Bustle of Jakarta Residents. A group of Falun Dafa participants meditated peacefully amidst the bustling crowds enjoying the Car Free Day. They radiated peace in the heart of the bustling capital.”
