Visitors Interested in Learning Falun Dafa
Claude Vernet
Claude Vernet, a foot reflexology therapist, wished to know more about Falun Dafa after talking to a practitioner and said they should introduce the practice at an organic products exhibition. “Health is not limited to the physical body, it also shows up in emotional and spiritual levels. Falun Dafa provides an alternative way of thinking, and can draw the attention of many people,” he said.
After watching practitioners do the exercises, Claude said, “The practitioners look very peaceful and calm. I feel a sense of serenity just looking at them.”
Esen Pald went to the fair because she was looking for a way to relax. She was interested in practicing Falun Dafa, “I am here to find a way to stay healthy. After watching practitioners do the five exercises, I felt a strong energy. I’ve seen the movements of other qigong practices on the Internet—Falun Dafa is different.”
Other visitors said they were interested in learning the exercises and they planned attend the free classes.
Falun Dafa is also known as Falun Gong. The founder Mr. Li Hongzhi first taught the practice in China in May 1992. Falun Dafa guides practitioners to abide by the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance to improve their moral levels and stay healthy. The practice quickly became popular, and has been taught in over 100 countries and areas. The books have been translated into 50 languages. To date, Mr. Li and Falun Dafa received thousands of proclamations, resolutions, and congratulatory letters from dignitaries around the world.
