(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Toronto participated in the Richmond Hill Pumpkinfest held at the Richmond Green Sports Centre and Park on October 7-9, 2023. Many people attended this annual fall event, and learned about Falun Dafa, a traditional cultivation practice that follows the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
People ask for information about Falun Dafa and learn the exercises.

Maya said, “I never heard about Falun Dafa before, but I saw someone distributing introductory flyers two days ago. I walked straight to her and got one. The next day, another person gave me a copy of the same flyer. Now, on the third day, I see Falun Dafa at the Pumpkinfest. I believe everything has been arranged. I’m predestined to come here!”
Maya learned all five Falun Dafa exercises on the spot. Afterwards she said she felt tranquil. Maya couldn’t hide her happiness. She said to a practitioner, “I felt energy while I did the exercises. I also felt my body become lighter.” Maya praised the principles of Falun Dafa. “Our bodies, mind, and spirit will become corrupted if we deviate from Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I would like to reach the state of these principles.” She said she plans to read Falun Dafa’s main book Zhuan Falun and learn more.

I believe they will bring me changes. I need to do them every day.” Lora said she wants to establish an exercise site near her home and introduce Falun Dafa to her customers, employees, families, and neighbors.

Local resident Jordon said he was attracted by the soothing music as practitioners demonstrated the exercises. He said, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance make people sincere, kind, and tolerant. I think it’s great! People need these qualities. Cultivation based on these principles is an art which chisels our mind and perfects our bodies. I will read the Falun Dafa books online.”
Basketball coach Nathan said he would tell his family about Falun Dafa.
