Introducing Falun Dafa at 2015 Jakarta Book Fair in Indonesia

Aug. 5, 2015 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Indonesia

(Minghui.org) Visitors at the 2015 Jakarta Book & Education Fair enjoyed learning the Falun Dafa exercises. Many of them read the informational materials about the persecution in China and signed a petition to support Falun Dafa practitioners' legal efforts to bring the main perpetrator of the persecution to justice in China.

The event was held at Plaza Parkir Timur of the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex in Senayan, Central Jakarta, from July 27 to August 3, 2015.

Visitors stop by the Falun Dafa booth to learn about the practice.

Visitors learn the first exercise of Falun Dafa.

A family stops to learn more about Falun Gong and the persecution in China.

A staff member at a booth next to the practitioners was quite impressed by their peacefulness, “They are different. It's a pleasure to be together with them.” Her colleague often stopped by to watch the video lecture of Master Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Dafa. Another staff member of a nearby booth asked, “Why don't you increase the volume? I want to hear the exercise music, too.”

A man who read the display boards commented, “Such crimes [as killing Falun Dafa practitioners for their organs] could even exist! Only the Communist Party can do something like this.”

The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance attracted a visitor. He believed that they are something everyone needs. He asked why the symbol of Falun Dafa resembled the Nazi pattern. Practitioners explained to him that the swastika has a history of thousands of years and is associated with Buddha. The Nazi's misused the symbol during the Second World War.

The man said he would visit the group exercise site the next day.
