UK: Falun Dafa at a Midlands University

On Thursday 6th February, some Falun Gong practitioners from the middle of England attended a Freshers Fair at a Midlands University. This fair was for the university’s clubs and societies to appeal to new members. A Falun Gong exercise class is soon to begin at the University and the stall was intended to tell people about the wonderful practice of Falun Dafa. Passers by asked practitioners about the benefits they have received from practising Falun Dafa and were very interested to hear that Dafa brings people good health, improved moral standards and a calm and benevolent outlook in everyday life.

Many religions had stalls in the fair and people were interested to discover that Falun Dafa is not a religion but is instead a cultivation practice, where one improves both the mind and the body through practising meditative exercises and following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance. Practitioners showed a video of Master Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Dafa, teaching the exercises and gave out leaflets with contact details for the class. People signed their names and left their details to be informed of the time of the weekly free exercise class. Some were surprised to find that the Falun Gong exercise class is free and that the Falun Gong stall accepted no money or membership fee. Many people were pleased to learn about Falun Dafa.
