(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners participated in the annual Graz City Festival (Grazer Stadtfest) in Graz, Austria's second largest city, on May 24, 2014 to introduce the locals to Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) and raise awareness about the 15-year persecution of Falun Gong in China.
Many people were impressed by the peaceful and gentle energy around the practitioners' exercise demonstration and learned the exercises right there and then.

Learning the Falun Gong exercises
A mother and her eight-year-old daughter had wanted to see a movie, but they changed their minds and returned to the Falun Gong information table ten minutes later. They wanted to learn the exercises. After practicing the first four exercises, the mother said that she felt very relaxed, calm, and peaceful.
“The practice looks simple and easy to follow, but I can feel the powerful energy it generates,” a young man commented as he watched practitioners demonstrate the exercises.
A student from Mexico was attracted by the peacefulness of the exercises and decided to learn right there and then. A family who passed by the information table also showed great interest and joined those who were learning the exercises on the lawn.
