Eduard Waizel stopped by the Falun Dafa booth to learn the exercises and said, “I felt great while doing the exercises. My hands and my body especially felt an energy flow. I have studied different cultivation ways. I like Falun Dafa in comparison, because Falun Dafa connects mind, body, and spirit. I’ll continue.” 

Eduard praised the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. “Forbearance is important. We shouldn’t blame others or hold grievances. We should treat others with compassion because we get what we give to the world. Telling our true thoughts will help others see what’s truly happening.”
