(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in South Africa held a photo exhibition titled “Falun Dafa Around the World” at the Rondebosch Library, located in Cape Town’s southern suburbs, on May 13 and May 14, 2026.

The exhibition was held to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day on May 13, and introduce the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance to the public.

Housed in the former Rondebosch Town Hall heritage building, which was completed in 1899, the Rondebosch Library boasts an elegant interior, with teak stairways, windows, and high ceilings over 10 meters tall. A popular spot for local residents to read and relax, the building also boasts a panoramic view of the famous Table Mountain from the second floor.

Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a spiritual practice first introduced to the public in China by Mr. Li Hongzhi. To date, Falun Dafa has spread to more than 100 countries and regions around the world.

“I Feel Peace and Tranquility”

Set up in a corner of the library lobby, the photo exhibition’s gentle music drew the attention of many library visitors. Some browsed through the photos, while others sought further information about Falun Dafa. Amid the peaceful and warm atmosphere, many visitors expressed their support and appreciation for Falun Dafa.

Library staff member Lua stopped to peruse the exhibition. She said, “I feel a special sense of peace and tranquility that can’t be found anywhere else.”

On hearing that Falun Dafa cultivates both body and mind, Lua exclaimed, “I used to practice meditation, but could never calm down. Now that I know practice requires cultivation of the mind, I will look into it.” Before leaving, Lua inquired about the location of nearby practice sites, hoping to learn more about Falun Dafa.

Visitors expressed their support for Falun Dafa.

Mr. Eduard stopped to view the photo exhibition and was deeply moved by the spectacular scenes of celebratory events held by practitioners worldwide, as well as early scenes of practitioners in China doing the exercises together. He said, “You’re doing the right thing. I’ve never seen so many people exercising together. It’s magnificent!”

Two young women, Fel and Lisa, were captivated as they took in the photos and listened to the explanation about Falun Dafa from practitioners. “This is our first encounter with Falun Dafa. It’s wonderful. We hope more people in South Africa get to know about Falun Dafa.” Fel and Lisa were also delighted to receive souvenirs in the form of small lotus flowers.

South African Practitioners Express Their Gratitude to Master Li

Local practitioner Ernesto said, “Since I started practicing Falun Dafa, I feel younger, stronger, and more at peace. Falun Dafa helps me eliminate my worldly attachments and return to my true self.”

“Master has given me the means, so now it’s my turn to improve myself and make continued progress,” he said. “I also want to share Falun Dafa with others so more people can take up this wonderful practice. I treasure the opportunity given to me to cultivate. Thank you, Master Li. Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”

Practitioner Kevin said, “Each outreach event not only helps passersby learn about the practice, but also deepens my understanding of Falun Dafa’s teachings.”
