Timisoara, Romania: People Interested in Getting Falun Dafa Books at a Mind-Body-Spirit Festival

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners presented their spiritual practice at the Ezoteric Fest held in Timisoara from May 9 to 11 by demonstrating the exercises. Two main works of Falun Dafa, Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun, written by Mr. Li Hongzhi, were on display for visitors to browse and purchase.

They introduced the practice to visitors and told them that there is a local group practice site where the exercises are taught for free every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in the Botanical Park.

 

They also distributed brochures introducing Falun Dafa, highlights of the beneficial effects of the practice, and its high popularity in China where more than 70 million Chinese people started practicing just a few years after it was introduced to the public.

Interest in Falun Dafa Books

A family from Târgu Jiu

A family from Târgu Jiu came to the festival in Timisoara. They were very interested in Falun Dafa, and asked many questions about the practice. They bought copies of Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun.

A man showed great interest in the introductory book Falun Gong

A gentleman walked up to a practitioner and asked about the CCP’s persecution, “Is this the practice that people in China are being killed for? Is the persecution still going on?” He spoke at length with the practitioner about the persecution, but also about the practice. During the event, he came to the Falun Gong booth every day and said, “I hope that the atrocities perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will end soon.”

A young family was reading about the persecution on a display on Saturday morning when the practitioners arrived at the booth. They said that they had not heard of Falun Dafa before but were interested in the practice. One said that it “makes no sense to persecute people who are trying to become better.” They didn’t know about the persecution, but they were aware that “abnormal” things were happening in China.

One practitioner, Zoltan Penzes, said about the event, “People who stopped at the Falun Dafa booth really wanted to know more than in previous years about the benefits of the practice. Quite a few said they wanted to try it at home. If I gave someone a leaflet, most people stopped and I got into a conversation with them very easily.

“When I talked to them about the principles of the practice they got a lotus flower as a reminder, most of them realized that this world would be a much better place if people respected the principles of Truth, Compassion, Forbearance on which Falun Dafa is founded,” he said.

Learning the Exercises at the Falun Dafa Booth

A lady from Resita learned the exercises at the Fest and said she would come back to Timisoara in two weeks to take part in the practice in the Botanical Park.

Two students who are not from Timișoara were interested in the exercises. When they heard about the practice site, they said that it was not far from where they lived and they would stop by and maybe learn the exercises.

Two elderly ladies stopped by the booth. One of them was 86, a yoga instructor, and looked very fit. They talked about Falun Dafa with the practitioners. They were very happy when they each received a lotus flower with Dafa’s principles inscribed on it.

There were many people who had heard of Falun Dafa even at previous fairs or other informational events. They took a brochure home to read. Many also knew about the practice site in Botanical Park.
