(Clearwisdom.net) The spring semester has ended and the summer vacation has begun. The Falun Dafa Club has been established for one year and six months.
I'm an elementary school instructor in Taichong County. One year and six months ago, there were already a number of Falun Dafa practitioners in my school. Although we all started practicing Falun Dafa at different times, we all realized that in these modern times, the moral standard has severely declined and only the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance can purify people's hearts and society. In particular, education is a very important link for laying a solid moral foundation for children. Therefore, we have been employing different methods to bring the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance to the classes we teach. We have the students read Zhuan Falun, teach them to do the Falun Gong exercises, and teach them to recite Hong Yin. In addition, we also teach our students to follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance in their daily lives.
Although the students in our classes are fortunate to learn about Dafa, we feel that we should bring the beauty of Falun Dafa to more children. Therefore, we established the Falun Dafa Club in our school, to allow more children to learn Falun Dafa and learn how to be good children.
Over the past year and a half, we have had two informational activities in our school to clarify the truth to news students and share information about Falun Dafa and the persecution in China to all faculty members, students and their parents. We divide ourselves into several groups and utilize the 50 minutes during lunch break to teach students the Falun Gong exercises and help them study the Fa, three times a week. These students, aged from 7 to 12, are from different grades and classes. Although their ages vary greatly, they have no difficulty in studying the Fa or practicing the exercises.

Children's serene and peaceful expression during the group practice
Children who just joined the club often have common problems nowadays. These include tendencies for fighting, cursing, being selfish and picky, and so on. After studying the Fa and practicing the exercises for a period of time, we witnessed these children's positive changes. Now let's listen to their heart-felt voices.
Yan Jie: Before I practiced Falun Gong, whenever my classmates bumped into me, I definitely fought back. After I started studying the Fa, I realize that acting like that is not correct, and now I do not fight back. Instead, I just tolerate it without fussing about it.
Xuan Wen: I used to have a bad temper. When I was not happy, I would throw all the stuff on my desk onto the floor and kick down the desk. Now, I feel that I have a better temper. I will not behave this way anymore and I do not get mad so easily.
Yuan Heng: Before I studied the Fa, my father often took my younger brother and me to go swimming. My brother often asked me to teach him swimming but I just did not want to pay any attention to him. After I learned Dafa, I remember the "being kind" that Master Li taught us, and therefore took the initiative to teach my younger brother to swim.
Wan Rong: Before I studied the Fa, I often said bad words towards others. After learning the Fa, I feel that this is not kind and therefore I seldom do so anymore. In addition, in the past when my younger brother did something wrong, I just let it go. Now, I tell my mother about it because I hope that my brother will not make the same mistake again.
Ji Yan: Before I learned Falun Gong, my grades were the worst in my class. After I learned Falun Gong, my grades now rank eighth in my class. I feel very relaxed when taking exams after practicing Falun Gong and studying the Fa. My memory has become better also.
Lian Yi said: I used to be very weak and I always felt cold when I got up in the morning, even in summer. Now, I'm not afraid of the cold and I can wear short-sleeved shirts with no problem.
Yu Xiang: Previously, I often caught cold when I used an electric fan after swimming. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I don't catch cold, no matter how I long I sit in front of the fan.
Yi Rui: I often got ill before I practiced Falun Gong. Now I seldom get sick.

Through Fa study, these children realized how to consider other people first and they try to be good children. Through practicing the exercises, they have become healthier. As I listened to the children recounting how they have changed, even though the changes were expected, I was still excited and moved by the great power of Dafa.
