(Minghui.org) Practitioners held two workshops in Istanbul to introduce Falun Dafa and expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. One event was held in a wellness center on November 28, 2023, and the other at the Kadıköy Ecological Life Center on December 2, 2023. Many people learned the exercises and said they felt relaxed and could feel the energy. Some said they found what they’d been looking for.

After learning the exercises, Ms. Yasemin, a radiation therapy technician, said, “This is something I’ve wanted for a long time. I felt peaceful and relaxed. My mind was calm and rested. I got rid of everything in my mind and just lived in that moment. I felt good energy flowing in my body, and that the bad energy was gone. I’m very pleased. Thank you!”

Ms. Yasemin explained that she’s been on a quest and even considered going to India to look for a cultivation practice. She was thrilled to find Falun Dafa.

It was a beautiful experience!”

Retired English teacher Işın attended the Falun Dafa workshop

Işın, a retired English teacher, said, “I am not here by chance. I feel I have been led here because I need to hear this. It is a very beautiful, peaceful, and powerful feeling!... All of our energy merged and we gave each other strength. I’m very pleased. This [Falun Dafa] is more needed than any other meditation.”

Three college students said they planned to write about Falun Dafa as the topic of their theses.
