(Minghui.org) Bulgarian Falun Dafa practitioners recently took part in one of the largest health festivals organized each year in Bulgaria.

The 2016 Health Festival held in the capital city of Sofia on June 11-12, 2016 featured more than 100 exhibits.

Local and foreign visitors alike were drawn to the Falun Dafa exhibit, which was decorated with banners emblazoned with the core principles of the practice, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Those words proved to be of great interest to many who were interested in learning more about Falun Dafa and its five exercises. They also could learn how to make origami lotus flowers.

Practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises in the morning. More then 15 people of all different ages started to learn the exercises the first day. Some of them returned the following morning, saying they felt surrounded by energy and a sense of calm when they were doing the exercises.

Printed materials, including leaflets and books, explaining what Falun Dafa is were available at the booth.

A workshop on how to make origami lotus flowers was very popular. Dozens of children and their parents enjoyed making lotus flowers from colored paper.

Practitioners from Bulgaria plan to continue letting more people know about Falun Dafa at similar future events.
