(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Paris were invited to introduce Falun Dafa to the residents of “Beautiful Sunshine” senior home in the city of Cormeilles-en-Parisis on November 13, 2024.
Practitioners introduce Falun Dafa to the senior home residents in the city of Cormeilles-en-Parisis.
Ms. Claudia, who is in charge of activities for the residents, said that she was very happy to receive these Falun Dafa practitioners and had prepared a poster for the event. Many residents were earnest when learning the exercise movements and said they felt comfortable physically and mentally.
The event began with a video of Master Li Hongzhi teaching the exercises, followed by practitioners demonstrating the exercises so that the seniors could follow along. Toward the end, the practitioners and the residents discussed Falun Dafa in more depth. When the seniors learned that these exercises were forbidden in China but could be practiced freely all over the world, and had spread widely, they were stunned. Each participant received a booklet about Falun Dafa.
Retired Pastor: Falun Dafa Is Beyond Religion
A former high school pastor said about Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, “These [principles] are very much needed in today’s society, especially among young people.” He said that Falun Dafa is not a religion, but something greater than religion, even beyond the spiritual level.
A woman in her 90s asked a practitioner what “Falun Dafa” means. A practitioner explained, “Falun Dafa is the great Fa of the universe.” The woman was touched by this explanation and asked what she should do if she felt lonely or sad. The practitioner told her, “You should recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and this will make you feel better.” Smiling brightly, the woman repeated, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’
Many of the seniors actively participated in the event and asked questions about Falun Dafa. They expressed interest in it and said that they would learn to do the exercises.
