From August 29th to September 6th, the fifteenth annual Book Expo was held in New Delhi. Falun Dafa practitioners rented a booth to introduce the ancient practice to people from all over the country as well as to international tourists. Besides providing fliers and other truth-clarifying materials, the practitioners also offered free classes.

During the nine-day expo, over 400 Falun Gong exercise instruction VCDs, and 70 copies of China Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun (English and Indian) books were sold. More than 100 people left their business cards or contact info, wanting to receive future Falun Gong instruction class information.

People of different races and religious backgrounds stopped by the booth. One older man in religious clothing chatted with practitioners about the practice and how to learn the exercises. When he saw several practitioners preparing a new banner, he offered to help. He watched the practitioners finishing up the banner and helped to clean up before he left quietly. When a practitioner noticed that he was leaving, the practitioner called him back and presented him with a folded paper lotus flower. He was very happy, and said "thank you" repeatedly.

There was another older man who came to the booth to learn the exercises. He said that he learned about Falun Gong from Delhi TV (Delhi TV had recently reported the Divine Land Marching Band activities when the band came to India to promote Falun Dafa)

A young India fellow talked with an elderly practitioner for over half an hour. He left his contact info with the practitioner, so he could receive future class info. However, he did not want to take a flier or bookmark. The practitioner told him that the materials were free and the flier has practice site information for many cities listed. He replied, "No, I can't take them. I respect Master Li!" He said that he was deeply touched by the practitioner's compassion and selfless offering, but he wanted to save the materials for other people.

A Canadian lady, who started to practise when she met practitioners in north India about two months ago, has since been actively involved in practitioners' activities. She distributed truth-clarifying fliers at the expo. Every day, she stood in the booth for hours with a beautiful smile and never complained about fatigue. Many visitors were touched by her and asked her for fliers. A book store owner who had a booth near the Falun Gong booth observed her for two days and was deeply touched. He talked to practitioners at the booth and said that it would be great if his employees were as dedicated as she. He invited her to his booth to share her experience in order to boost sales. He bought her coffee in appreciation.

The practitioner told him and his employees that her motivation was not money. "I just want to share the best, Falun Dafa, with everyone and it is from my heart."
