A dozen of students from Ingesunds High School attended a Falun Gong Seminar and learned Dafa exercises when the Falun Gong group in Arvika was invited to the school to give an introduction of Falun Gong on three Fridays.

On the first Friday we went through the first two sets of exercises and talked about the history of Falun Gong. Many experienced energy flow through their bodies during the exercise. One wondered how such simple exercises could have such strong energy. On the second Friday we taught the remaining exercises. We also talked about the persecution in China. Everybody could see how terribly wrong the persecution was.

On the third Friday there were some questions concerning the exercises. A person had experienced nausea; one cried and asked if it was due to the practice of Falun Gong. I explained to them the transformation of Karma and endurance. Then she said firmly that she knew that it was due to the practice and that she was going to continue to practice. A girl who participated was at the school as a trainee. Later she told me she had for a long time had a wish to participate in an introductory course in Falun Gong.

After practicing, we watched some truth clarification video about the staged self-immolation, the 35 Westerners' peaceful appeal in Tiananmen Square, and the positive response to Falun Gong around the world. The reactions after the video show were rather strong. One person wondered how a country could do such a thing to its own people and said that this will most certainly backfire on them. Before we finished we made the decision to practice together again before the school year is over.
