(Clearwsidom.net) Falun Gong has always been taught for free at practice sites that are now in over 60 countries around the world. Falun Gong is often practiced outdoors and this has allowed many people to learn more about the practice. Here are some short stories of how people discovered Falun Gong.
Madrid, Spain
There was one lady from Venezuela who came and stood transfixed watching the exercise practice at a site in Madrid. When practitioners gave her a leaflet, she said: 'I don't need a leaflet; this is definitely what I want.' In fact, she said two days ago she had a dream and in the dream she kept repeating some movements and heard a voice telling her, 'This is just what you have been looking for over thousands of years.' At that time, she did not know what it actually meant until today when she passed by our practice site and saw practitioners doing the same movements she did in her dream. Soon after, she started to learn Falun Dafa's movements. One week later, she also brought her husband and daughter to the exercise class.
Paris, France
One day, a lady from Peru came to the Paris Falun Gong exercise site to learn the movements. As soon as she came out of the underground, she started to run because she did not want to be late. At once, she heard a voice in her mind: 'Don't run, don't worry: you have already discovered the thing you have always been waiting for.' When she arrived at the exercise class, she told everyone her amazing experience; her eyes were filled with tears.
Santiago, Chile
A 14-year old student who lives near the Santiago practice site, once looked up the phrase 'sitting in meditation' on the Internet and found Falun Dafa's website. He then discovered the movements showed in the pictures on the web were exactly the same as the people at a practice site outside his house were doing. He soon switched off his computer and went out of the house. He only needed to cross one road and he was at the exercise site, where he started to learn. Now his parents, friends and schoolmates all know Falun Dafa, and some of them even started to practice. Every time this student comes to the exercise site, he asks for many Falun Gong leaflets to hand out to people.
A 75-year old elderly lady from Chile has a daughter who lives in Switzerland. Not long ago, her daughter saw Dafa practitioners holding a peaceful appeal outside the UN headquarters in Geneva. Her daughter later called her mother in Chile and told her about this. Now, she and her mum are both practitioners. One practices in Switzerland and the other practices in Chile.
A young Korean student who lives in Chile was once traveling back from the United States to Chile when he met some practitioners in a California Airport. The practitioners offered him a leaflet. After reading it, he called the Falun Gong contact person in Chile straight away. The next day, he came to learn the exercises.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
There is a practitioner in Buenos Aires who has practiced Falun Dafa for nearly a year, but he did not take cultivation very seriously. He did not do the exercises regularly and he couldn't do single leg crossing properly in the meditation. However, after he took part in the first Latin America Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference in March this year, he came to understand Dafa more deeply and firmly through talking with other practitioners. After the conference, when he did the last exercise at home, to his amazement he found himself sitting in meditation with both legs crossed.
