  • Sweden: Celebrating Five Years of Falun Dafa in Kalmar City

    Five years ago, we did not even have a video tape to learn the exercises from. We had the book Falun Gong, with pictures of the exercises. We put a key on top of the page so that it was not turned over by the wind and then we practised the exercises, comparing our movements to the pictures. We tried to perfect our movements by pointing out each other’s mistakes.

  • UK: Bringing the Peace and Harmony of Dafa to a West Midlands City

    This lovely old lady began to pay more attention to the practitioners, slowly adjusting her mind to the new phenomenon in front of her, asking a few simple questions, and marvelling at the way they performed the exercises so harmoniously and elegantly together. It was clear that the serene energy field and the conduct of practitioners had left her with a warm impression of Dafa, and that she understood the kind of people we were.
