(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong has spread all over the world and is now known by more and more people. In the Spanish city of Zaragoza, the principal of a public school, La Estrella, was pleased to have Falun Gong introduced during the school's Culture Week program.
On April 28th and 30th, Falun Gong practitioners went to the school to teach a group of 100 children, aged 8 to 11 years old. One activity was held indoors and another was held outside. The principal personally prepared the audio system and recorded the Falun Gong exercise music and other Dafa music. Listening to a piece of original music entitled Pudu, the children showed a strong curiosity and interest in Falun Gong.
The practitioners told them that Falun Gong teaches Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance. When they realized that the children had not yet got the point the practitioners explained further in terms of words which the children could understand fully: Truth is to say true words, to do true things; Compassion is to consider other people first when doing things, to develop a kind heart; Forbearance is to be able to endure; to step back when something happens, to see if we have done things in a incorrect way and so on.
When learning the fifth exercise, some children were immediately able to do the full Lotus position, with both legs crossed, while a lot of children were calling for assistance. After being guided, the majority of children were sitting in the full Lotus position. They sat still with their hands conjoined, looking quite serious.
When the activities were over, the children waved, saying, "Goodbye!
Please come again soon!" The principal also extended a sincere invitation,
"See you guys again at the next Cultural Week."
