(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners were invited to attend an annual health festival at Palmerston North on May 8, 2021. Their booth was both eye-catching and neat, attracting many locals who came to inquire about Falun Dafa. Some even praised Falun Dafa practitioners for bringing the benefits of the practice to people there.

Yeeley, a well-known sound healer in New Zealand, learned most of the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises online. When she saw the Falun Dafa booth at the festival she was very happy because she had yet to learn the sitting meditation.

Mr. and Mrs. Watt lent their support to practitioners.

Mr. and Mrs. Watt were chatting with practitioners for a while when Mr. Watt said: “I believe in what you say. Falun Dafa has positive and righteous energy. With your sincerity, you have touched my heart. The world is now different from how it used to be. People no longer speak out for justice, and traditional values are being forgotten. This may be the reason why the world is suffering misfortune.”

After learning about Falun Dafa and the persecution, Mrs. Watt said: “We welcome you to New Zealand. You bring wonders and courage to the world when it needs it the most. This is very important. You should persist and awaken more people.”

Residents learn the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises during the health festival.

Falun Dafa practitioners were invited to be speakers at the health festival. They demonstrated the exercises, explained the principles of the practice and talked about the ongoing persecution in China. Many learned to practice the exercises on the spot. There were also some who invited practitioners to attend their own club meetings and participate in similar health activities.
