Practitioners gathered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a couple of days of seminars to introduce Falun Dafa to the local people and to clarify the truth about the persecution in China. The exercises were taught to about 100 people in local parks and community centers. Practitioners found the Argentine people to have wonderful hearts. People are warm, friendly and very eager to learn Dafa.

A group of six policemen came by while the exercises were being taught in a park one afternoon. One of them came up to a practitioner and asked, "How can we best be of service to you?" A local lady learning the exercises remarked that she couldn't believe it, "You could get robbed or mugged in this park and you would never find a police officer! Why are so many coming to the practice site? I've never seen anything like it!"

That same evening, when the exercises were being taught at a local community hall, some 13 police officers came by to "protect us." The practitioners smiled and began to share the many benefits of Falun Dafa with the officers. The police officers enjoyed themselves, quickly recognizing the benevolence shown by the practitioners. They smiled and laughed and helped direct people into the community hall to learn about Falun Dafa.

After a very successful seminar where around 40 people learned the exercises, the police agreed to join us in a group photo. They explained that they had been sent because of concerns expressed by the Chinese government, worried because their President Jiang is also in Buenos Aires. We thanked them for very kindly coming to "protect us" and they returned to their homes knowing in their hearts that Falun Dafa is good.
