The Kita Ward Civic Center has been providing a free classroom for practitioners to teach the Falun Dafa exercises. Many Japanese have had the opportunity to learn about and practice Falun Dafa. After reading the information about Falun Dafa during the event, many more people were interested in learning the exercises.

Kita Ward is a bustling commercial district and an important political, economic, and cultural hub. The annual event that celebrates volunteers is attended by various local organizations from the community that are dedicated to public service. Falun Dafa practitioners are one of these community groups.

Besides showing people the exercises, practitioners taught people how to fold paper lotus flowers. Many staff members followed the practitioners’ exercise movements and did the exercises with them. One man said that he felt very relaxed after practicing the exercises. An elderly lady said she felt something rotating in her abdomen while she did the first exercise.
