(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Barcelona participated in the 30th Health Exhibition from May 4 to 7, 2023, to let more people know about the practice. The exhibition, which was held at the Palace of St. George, attracted more than 50,000 visitors.
Falun Dafa once again took part in the exhibition, displaying the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and bringing peace, tranquility, and harmony to this busy society. More than 300 exhibitors held over 350 events, which included two sessions that introduced Falun Dafa.
Visitors were drawn to the peaceful Falun Dafa music and inquired about the practice.
Visitors attracted by Falun Dafa’s calming music expressed great interest and curiosity in the practice. Some people already had come across Falun Dafa in the past. But for others, it was the first time they’d ever heard it. After hearing about the benefits of Falun Dafa, many people expressed a desire to go to the park practice site to learn the exercises.
Practitioners demonstrated the exercises during the Falun Dafa introductory sessions.
Practitioners demonstrate and teach the exercises in the recreation area outside the exhibition hall.
At the introductory sessions, the practitioners introduced Falun Dafa and demonstrated the exercise movements. During the exhibition, the practitioners also held sessions in the recreation area outdoors to demonstrate and teach the exercises.
Ms. Esther said, “It felt as if my true self, which is hidden deep within me, is awakening.”
Ms. Esther, who is 50, came across Falun Dafa for the first time during the exhibition. She was so attracted by the tranquility and peace that Falun Dafa conveyed that she participated in the introductory session and also learned the exercises. She commented on how focused she was, the energy flow she could sense, and how comfortable she felt when she was learning the exercises. She felt that a stop button for the hustle and bustle of her daily life had been pressed when she was learning the practice. She also felt that her true self, which has been hidden deep within her, was awakening.
Mr. Manuel said, “Doing the exercises made me feel very comfortable, relaxed, and happy.”
Mr. Manuel from Zaragoza is 49. He had heard about the persecution of Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) in China some time ago. But after seeing practitioners demonstrate the exercises outside the exhibition hall, he could sense the energy of the exercise music and entered the exercise venue to experience the practice for himself. He said, “I felt very comfortable, relaxed, and happy.” He said that he would go to the practice site to continue learning the practice after he returns to Zaragoza.
Ms. Virginia said, “Falun Dafa conveys an important message and energy.”
Ms. Virginia qs one of the exhibitors at the exhibition. Before this, she did not really understand what Falun Dafa was, but when she passed by the Falun Dafa booth, she felt very good energy. She especially liked Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. When she saw the exercise demonstration and heard the music, she said, “Falun Dafa gives me a tranquil, focused, and harmonious feeling. I want to give it a try.”
Ms. Sílvia said, “Falun Dafa can expand one’s horizons and let us see the truly important things.”
Ms. Sílvia passed by the Falun Dafa booth two days in a row. On the first day, she learned about the exercises. The next day, she brought her two daughters to the booth and was given small lotus flower keepsakes. Ms. Sílvia said, “We need to be mature, to understand our bodies, to know what we lack, and how we can improve it. Falun Dafa can open one’s horizons to let us see the truly important things and have the ability to sacrifice instead of just receive. It is very important for the children to grow up in a harmonious environment and feel that they are a part of the universe. Unquestionably, Falun Dafa can guide us to attain that state and illuminate our paths. Thank you to all of you for being here to provide us with this opportunity.”
