After watching the introductory videos and listening to the practitioners’ explanations, most people asked where they could learn to practice Falun Dafa. One gentleman said he could not go to the practice site because of his work schedule. When he was told that he could learn the exercises online, he was excited and repeatedly thanked the practitioner. Some people who learned the exercises said that their bodies and hands felt warm, and they felt warm and relaxed.

After two other staff members at the next stall listened to the practitioners’ introduction, they said the exercises were good, but they felt that they might not be able to practice them because they had too many distracting thoughts. The practitioner told them that Falun Dafa stresses character improvement. Practicing can help one calm down by taking lightly all kinds of desires in life. With fewer distracting thoughts, one can then concentrate. After listening to the practitioner’s explanation, they said happily that they would learn the exercises when there were fewer people later.

The next afternoon two people came to the practitioners’ booth and wished to learn the exercises. While the practitioner taught them, the staff at the adjacent booth joined them and learned the exercises.

A booth belonging to the municipal government’s citizen activities support center was next to the practitioners’ booth. When a staff member helped practitioners set up their booth and TV, she said, “I saw that you held a poster exhibition against forced organ harvesting at the Civic Activity Center. Way to go!”
