(Clearwisdom.net) On November 5, 2004, the annual Italian Medical Forum was held in Turin. Over three hundred people from different walks of life attended this conference. Italian Falun Gong practitioners were again invited to come to this conference and introduce Falun Gong to the participants
The forum hall becomes an exercise-instruction site.
In the conference, a group of Italian practitioners talked about Falun Gong's principles and discussed the exercises in detail, telling people that Falun Gong not only improves health but also improves people's moral standards. They presented a short history of Falun Gong and how the practice has spread to 100 million people in 60 countries. They also talked about the terrible human rights abuses that are being committed in China in an attempt to force practitioners to renounce their belief in Falun Gong. The participants listened attentively and enthusiastically asked questions. Accompanied by the exercise music, the practitioners demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises and then taught them to the audience. Everyone followed along earnestly.
When the forum finished, many people expressed their views. Some were attracted by Dafa's profundity and wanted to start practicing straight away; some were outraged by China's violation of human rights, showing sympathy and support for the practitioners who have been suffering. Many people bought Falun Gong exercise music CDs and even more people asked where Falun Gong's main text, Zhuan Falun, could be purchased. People came over to get informational leaflets, and in a few short hours, hundreds of people were introduced to Falun Gong.
