(Clearwisdom.net) From the 7th to the 9th of May, an annual cultural exchange expo was held in Valencia, a beautiful seaside town in Spain. At the same time, another international expo on exchanging Spanish and South American culture was also held there.
Since it was a weekend, apart from the local people, many tourists from other Spanish cities and foreign countries also came to spend their holidays in Valencia. Everywhere was alive with people which brought about a lively atmosphere.
Our Falun Dafa stand was situated at the entrance of the expo; when people came in, they were immediately attracted by Falun Dafa's posters and practitioners' exercise demonstrations. Many people stopped at our stand and listened to practitioners introducing Falun Dafa.

After looking at the introduction of Falun Dafa, a Spanish man said, "I admire Chinese culture very much as it is so profound. I will definitely attend Falun Gong's nine-day seminar." A Nepalese man also expressed his wish to learn Falun Gong as he told us, "The moral standards of humankind are very important. Nowadays, mankind's moral character has fallen dramatically, even in those countries where Buddhism originated and became very popular, the moral standards are no longer high."

At first, not many people knew about Falun Dafa, but after listening to our introduction, many people signed up to attend the nine-day seminars, and some even started to learn the five sets of exercises right away.
Two professors from the University of Castellon spoke to practitioners when they passed by: "It's a pleasure to meet Falun Dafa here. We have heard about Falun Gong through Video-CDs and leaflets in Castellon. People should have the freedom of belief, they should not be persecuted. We believe that every person with a kind-heart will help and support you." They signed our petition to support Falun Gong. Other people also put down their names on the petition to call for the end of the persecution of Falun Gong by Jiang's regime in China.
