Lima, Peru: Hospital Staff Learn the Falun Gong Exercises

(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners were invited to participate in a health training event held at the National Maternal Perinatal Institute (Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal, INMP) in Lima, the capital of Peru, on October 1, 2024. Many people asked about the local practice site and the times when they could participate after watching the exercise demonstration and learning the exercises.

The National Maternal Perinatal Institute was interested in Falun Dafa and hoped to provide opportunities for midwives and nurses in the hospital to learn the exercises. The hospital contacted a practitioner in the Distrito de San Borja and decided to hold the training event in its hospital in Lima on October 1.

Practitioners explained the effects of each set of exercises, and informed the participants about free exercise teaching information in local parks. Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual practice following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Millions of people practice Falun Dafa, which plays an immeasurable positive role in improving people’s physical fitness and moral standards.

Nurses, midwives, and hospital staff are learning the Falun Dafa exercises.

Practitioners also talked about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) brutal persecution of Falun Gong. The persecution, ordered by the then CCP leader Jiang Zemin on July 20 1999, not only targeted Falun Gong practitioners’ belief in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, but also destroyed people’s moral principles and spiritual values.

At the end of the course, the participants applauded warmly.

Ms. Luisa Paredes, an accountant at the National Maternal Perinatal Institute, said that practicing Falun Dafa made her feel relaxed. Sometimes when she felt sleepy, she would wake up immediately when doing the exercises. She hoped that the hospital could arrange such activities again because nurses, midwives and staff felt tired after work.
