(Minghui.org) People attending a recent Falun Dafa class in Tokyo were surprised by the strong energy field they experienced after doing the exercises for only 10 minutes.

Despite the sweltering heat, Falun Dafa practitioners distributed nearly 20,000 fliers to promote the free 9-day class.

Ms. Tokunaga introduced Falun Dafa and explained that it’s practiced by people throughout the world.

The host, Ms. Tokunaga, introduced Falun Dafa and a brief history of how it spread to more than 100 countries and regions in the world. Afterwards, the attendees watched the video, “Teaching the Fa in Guangzhou” given by Falun Dafa’s founder Mr. Li Hongzhi. This was the first time that some attendees had heard about Falun Dafa. After the screening, they exchanged their thoughts.

Learning the Falun Dafa exercises

Reading Zhuan Falun, Falun Dafa’s main text.

Class attendees first watched a video of lectures given by Mr. Li Hongzhi, “Teaching the Fa in Guangzhou,” and then Ms. Tokunaga showed them the first exercise. Even though they only did the exercise for ten minutes, the students said that they felt a powerful energy field. One participant immediately wanted to purchase a copy of Zhuan Falun and a DVD of the exercises.

“I felt the (Falun Dafa) master’s powerful energy. I was very shocked. I have been listening attentively, and I know what he says is true,” one participant said.

Another person said it was her first time coming into contact with a qigong practice, and she learned a lot of information and ways of thinking. She also felt her body was lighter after learning the movements.

One young woman said that she has questioned the meaning of life since she was a student and was full of doubts about where human beings came from. “Today, I had the privilege of listening to Mr. Li Hongzhi's lecture, and I am amazed.” She said.

Ms. Tokunaga said that Japanese people are very kind, but they don’t know much about Falun Dafa. “I want to do my best to introduce Falun Dafa so that more people can benefit,” she said.

The free 9-day class began on August 11 and will end on Sept. 11.
