Introducing Falun Dafa Practice at Book Fairs and Flower Shows
People in India look forward to visiting book fairs and exhibitions during the winter season. Very few exhibitions have been held in the last few years due to the Covid restrictions. However, book fairs, exhibitions and flower shows are now being organized in many cities. On this occasion, Falun Dafa practitioners from India are also participating in these fairs and making people aware of this unique spiritual practice.
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is an ancient cultivation practice that teaches five gentle exercises, including meditation. Falun Dafa was first introduced to the public in China in May 1992 by Mr. Li Hongzhi. Today, it is practiced by over 100 million people in over 100 countries. But the sad thing is that China, which is the birthplace of Falun Dafa, has been suppressing it since July 20, 1999, which continues to this day.
Book fairs organized in different cities
Book fairs were organized in Pondicherry, Pune, Kolkata and Delhi in the last few months. Falun Dafa practitioners from different cities participated in these book fairs. A large number of people visited the Falun Dafa stalls during these book fairs. Practitioners regularly demonstrated the five exercises of Falun Dafa and distributed information leaflets about the exercises. The abhyasis also distributed paper lotus flowers to the people. Many visitors expressed interest in learning the Falun Dafa exercises and were surprised to hear that the practitioners always teach the exercises completely free of charge.
Annual “Chitra Santhe” Art Exhibition in Bangalore
The annual art exhibition “Chitra Santhe” was organized in Bangalore on Sunday, 8th January this year. More than 1200 stalls displayed their art in this exhibition and lakhs of people visited this fair. Falun Dafa practitioners also set up stalls on the occasion and displayed art paintings related to “True Compassion & Tolerance” to the public. He also distributed fliers to tell people about the Chinese Communist Party’s 23-year repression of Falun Dafa practitioners.
Bangalore Flower Show
The popular flower show was held in Bangalore’s Lalbagh Garden in January this year. Falun Dafa practitioners also set up a stall on the occasion, where they demonstrated exercises and distributed information about the exercises. The main attraction of the flower show was a huge mural made of flowers depicting a lotus flower being held in the hands. The mural was written on one side in English and on the other in Kannada – “The world needs truth, compassion, tolerance”, which are the basic principles of Falun Dafa. Everyone was appreciating this mural and many youths were clicking selfies in front of it.
Indian Falun Dafa practitioners are selflessly promoting this unique practice across the country. Falun Dafa is helping people achieve good health, calm their mind and guide them on the right path in life.
