The colorful display, relaxing music and exercise demonstrations at the Falun Dafa stall caught many peoples attention, and a constant stream of visitors stopped to ask about the spiritual practice.

It was broadcast on prime time TV that day.

The Perseverance and Determination of Practitioners Is Admirable
Silvia attends the natural health expo every year. She said she knew of the history and persecution of Falun Dafa in China and has tremendous respect for practitioners, “Your perseverance and determination is admirable. Although I don’t practice Falun Dafa, I can feel the energy and something righteous from your practice. I wish you good luck because you deserve it, this is justice indeed.”
Silvia told practitioners, “Your perseverance and determination is admirable.”
She continued, “I totally agree with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance which are based on non-violence, respect, and empathy. Everyone would agree with this. I love your practice because you promote peace.”
Ms. Patricia is from Toledo, an ancient city near Madrid. She said she heard the Falun Dafa exercise music from a distance and came to the stall. She put down her backpack and started doing the exercises along with practitioners.
Patricia said she felt tremendous energy coming from the Falun Dafa stall, and was moved to tears.
She told practitioners she felt a tremendous energy field as soon as she came to the booth, and was so moved she wanted to cry. She asked if there was a local practice site, and hopes practitioners can come to the community she lives in to teach the exercises. She hopes a practice site can be established in her area.
This Practice Has Such a Powerful Energy Field
Ms. Raque felt there was something extraordinary the moment she walked close to the Falun Dafa stall. She followed along as practitioners did the exercises. She said she tried other spiritual practices in the past but none had such a strong energy field. She said she will definitely go to a practice site to learn the exercises.
Ms. Raque said she was drawn to the Falun Dafa booth.
Renate who is from Brazil said something made him stop in front of the Falun Dafa booth. He said he recently went through many changes in life and he felt very stressed. He came to the expo in search of something to calm his mind.
He stood outside the Falun Dafa booth for a long time, watching practitioners do the exercises and listened as a practitioner introduced the practice to him. He said he would go to a practice site in Madrid to learn the exercises and read the main book Zhuan Falun. Before he left he said, “Now I know why I came to the expo – to learn about Falun Dafa.”
Alvaro and Maria were attracted by the relaxing music. They stopped at the stall and chatted with a practitioner for a long time.
Alvaro said he wanted to learn Falun Dafa, and felt it would benefit young people and help them take a different approach to life. Maria expressed interest in Falun Dafa as well and said she plans to go to the website falundafa.org to learn more.
Elena and her husband from Portugal said they were moved by how peaceful practitioners appeared when they meditated. Elena said, “I love the principles of Falun Dafa. I feel that everyone should be introduced to it, especially children. If everyone starts practicing Falun Dafa when they are children, the world will become a better place.”
Her husband said he felt himself relax while he listened to practitioners explain what Falun Dafa is. Before they left, the couple said they would look at the website to learn more about the practice and visit a practice site to learn the exercises.
Practitioners Invited to Hold Classes at a Healing Center
Mr. Santiago is from Northern Spain, and was an accomplished photographer. After traveling to many places, he finally chose to give up the hustle bustle of city life and settled in a remote mountain village. He started a healing center through natural ways such as meditation, cultivation and music.
He told practitioners, “I heard about Falun Dafa years ago. I also know about the persecution by the Chinese Communist Party. I absolutely agree with Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. I have long wanted to invite practitioners to my center to introduce and teach the practice.” When practitioners said they would love to hold classes at his center, he gave them his contact information.
