(Minghui.org) A schoolteacher said, “I've been tired all the time recently. But after learning Falun Gong today, I felt so refreshed.” The teacher followed along with the practitioners demonstrating the Falun Gong exercises on stage at the annual Surabaya Martial Arts Festival in Surabaya, Indonesia.
The festival, which was held from September 19 to 21, 2014, featured over 30 martial art groups from Indonesia and other countries. Falun Gong practitioners were invited to participate by the event organizer, who visited the Falun Gong booth.
Practitioners tell the event organizer, the Chairman of Youth and Sports Department, about Falun Gong.
Learning the exercises
Falun Gong practitioners demonstrate the exercises on stage.
Each group made a presentation on September 21. One Falun Gong practitioner talked about the practice and the benefits of practicing it. Another practitioner told how the Chinese Communist Party is persecuting Falun Gong in China.
Many people visited the Falun Gong booth on the last day of the festival. At least three mentioned that they had seen the practitioners' silent protest in front of the Chinese Consulate. Some of them asked for more information about Falun Gong and the persecution.
One visitor said she had practiced Falun Gong in the past but stopped after hearing about the staged Tiananmen self-immolation. A practitioner explained to her that the Party was deliberately telling lies to defame the practice. The lady understood and said, “I will resume practicing Falun Gong.”
Some visitors expressed their interest in learning Falun Gong and bought a copy of the book Zhuan Falun.
