People Wish to Learn Falun Dafa

Dewi from Denpasar said she was moved when she felt the peaceful energy as practitioners did the exercises. She wanted to learn Falun Dafa. She was once diagnosed with cancer, and although she recovered, she still found it hard to relax. Dewi said that seeing the Falun Dafa practitioners and after trying out the exercises for the first time, she immediately felt peaceful and tranquil.

Another young lady from Denpasar also wanted to join the group exercise because she wanted to learn to control her irritable temper. She said that she has joined the online talk that introduces Falun Dafa a few times and received information about Falun Dafa. However, this is the first time she had the opportunity to learn the exercises first-hand, and she was very happy.

Dewa Aji received information about Falun Dafa.

Dewa Aji was riding his bicycle and noticed the parade. A practitioner dressed as a celestial maiden handed him information about Falun Dafa. Aji said that he’d heard about Falun Dafa ten years ago. He added that he has many relatives and friends who practice Falun Dafa and every one of them is kind and upright. He believes that they are such good people because they practice Falun Dafa.

This year marks the 31st anniversary of Falun Dafa’s introduction to the world. Many practitioners really cherish being able to cultivate and they expressed their deepest respects to Dafa’s founder, Master Li Hongzhi.

Dafa Brought Me So Many Benefits

Sri Widiantari’s entire family participated in the parade.

Sri Widiantari from Badung began practicing Falun Dafa twenty years ago. She says that she’s benefited a lot from Dafa, including improvement in her health, her family is now harmonious, and most importantly the significant improvement in her character and morality.

Before she began practicing Falun Dafa, Widiantari said she was plagued by many illnesses and she was very irritable. She easily got angry, and was narrow-minded and very selfish. All these bad habits had a negative impact on her health. However, after practicing Falun Dafa, she was gradually able to control her negative emotions. She was also able to respect others, as she understands the true purpose of life.

As she feels that she has benefited a lot from Falun Dafa, Widiantari started to introduce Falun Dafa to her family members. Now, her entire family practices and has joined the Tian Guo Marching Band. Although she says she still has many shortcomings, she will cultivate herself diligently. As practitioners celebrate World Falun Dafa Day, Widiantari’s whole family would like to express their deepest thanks to Master Li Hongzhi for his benevolence and guidance.

Practitioner Thanks Master for Introducing Falun Dafa

Kadek Bono and his five-year-old son participated in the parade.

Kadek Bono and his five-year-old son distributed introductory fliers about Falun Dafa during the parade this year. Bono began practicing Falun Dafa in 2007. At that time, he was diagnosed with an artery disease. He vomited blood, was hospitalized a few times and had no energy. A friend suggested he try Falun Dafa and after he began practicing, his health improved. He no longer needed medications.

Bono said that after he repeatedly read Falun Dafa’s main book, Zhuan Falun, his outlook on life became positive. He became kinder and got rid of the resentment and hatred which had accumulated in his heart for a very long time. As practitioners celebrate World Falun Dafa Day, Bono wishes Master a happy birthday. He thanks Master for introducing Dafa and saving people. He hopes that people can learn more about Falun Dafa and not be misled by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) propaganda.
