(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners participated in the annual St. Louis Earth Day Festival in Forest Park from April 26 to 27, 2025.

Many people were drawn to the soothing music as practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises. After they learned that Dafa’s principles are Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, one person said, “These are exactly what we need today.” Another said, “It would be a better world if everyone followed these principles!”

Quite a few people were interested in learning Falun Dafa, and several said they would join the group exercises in the park on weekends. Many expressed great concern on hearing about the persecution of Falun Dafa in China.

One young woman did the Falun Dafa meditation that day and said the pain in her neck lessened and she felt calm. She said she wanted to continue doing the exercises.

Two women said they’d previously heard about the persecution and couldn’t understand why such a peaceful practice was persecuted. They said they’d go to the local group exercise site in Creve Coeur Park and learn the exercises.

The practitioners who participated in the festival said they enjoyed introducing Falun Dafa to help people improve their health and minds in this fast-paced modern society.
