(Minghui.org) “I appreciate the values that Falun Dafa brings to the world,” said Suzanne Khambata, who is the Director of Student Health Services at San Diego Mesa College.

Practitioners in San Diego were invited to introduce Falun Dafa at several local community events in early September and October. They demonstrated the exercises and taught people the movements.

Introducing Falun Dafa at a College Health Fair

Practitioners were invited to participate in “Rooted in Good Health” a health fair held at San Diego Mesa College on September 23. Ms. Khambata contacted practitioners through the Falun Dafa website several months before the event and invited them to participate. She said she heard of Falun Dafa more than a decade ago and she invited practitioners to take part in the college’s health fair so more people could benefit.

Ms. Khambata placed the Falun Dafa booth among the stalls that lined the lawn, and she asked practitioners to demonstrate and teach the exercises.

Many students and staff came to talk to practitioners at their booth. One student said she just attended a class that taught meditation and she was very interested in Falun Dafa. She then learned the exercises.

A student from the Philippines said her grandmother back home practices Falun Dafa. Her grandmother told her about the spiritual practice but she did not understand and thought her grandmother practiced yoga. After practitioners told her about Falun Dafa, she said excitedly, “That’s right, that’s what my grandmother does! I will tell her when I go back home, perhaps I can practice with her!”

A student from China chatted with practitioners. She said she gained a clearer understanding of the CCP’s evil ways after the regime’s extreme “Zero-COVID” policy during the pandemic. She said she is interested in learning Falun Dafa and wants to join a local practice site.

Practitioners were invited to participate in the Mid-Autumn festival celebrations held by a local Hong Kong club and a Vietnamese community group on September 19 and October 3. They demonstrated the exercises on stage and some spectators followed along.

Mr. Nguyen, a Vietnamese community leader, said, “Falun Dafa is a beautiful form of cultivation practice, and creates an incredibly peaceful and lovely atmosphere. Especially in our society today, I have a greater appreciation for Falun Dafa and the tranquil atmosphere.”
