(Minghui.org) Practitioners from Poland and Ukraine celebrated World Falun Dafa Day in Warsaw Old Town on May 10, 2026. The activities included group exercises, display boards, distributing flyers, and talking with passersby about the benefits of the spiritual practice, as well as raising awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.

Many people watched the exercise demonstration, looked at the posters, and signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution. Among them were some Chinese people, who asked various questions. After learning about the importance of withdrawing from the CCP, they renounced the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and expressed gratitude to practitioners. They also said they would ask friends and family to renounce the CCP.

The CCP Will Collapse Sooner or Later

Many people viewed the display boards. Three girls from China discussed the differences they noticed from the CCP’s propaganda with a practitioner, who patiently explained what Falun Gong is, why the CCP really carries out the persecution, and how it spreads lies to defame Falun Gong. When the girls understood what the practitioner said, they were appreciative, and said they would learn more online and tell their family members to stay away from the CCP.

Several Chinese people took videos of the display boards and the group exercises. One man said, “Many in China do not know what Falun Gong is. If we record them here, at least this will prove we have been abroad!” Others laughed.

A practitioner asked them, “Why is Falun Gong freely practiced abroad, but not in China?” A Chinese man replied, “I do not get involved in politics.” Another Chinese man, who was taking a video, said loudly, “What will you do if politics gets you? Falun Gong is right. Do you find the CCP to be reasonable? It framed Falun Gong with the staged Tiananmen Square self-immolation event. Is this politics? The CCP will collapse sooner or later. It has no future.” The first man was speechless.

The practitioner carried on talking about the persecution and the evil nature of the CCP, which is using lies and violence to control China. When the Chinese onlookers understood the importance of quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations, they expressed their appreciation.

Practitioners Express Gratitude to Master

Practitioner Piotr (Minghui.org)

Practitioner Piotr went to Warsaw from central Poland to participate in the event. He said, “May 13 is an important day, the 34th anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction, and World Falun Dafa Day. On this special day, we celebrate the occasion and share our experiences of practicing Dafa. I would like to take this opportunity to convey my most sincere greetings to our compassionate Master. Although words are inadequate to express the depth of my gratitude, I wish to thank Master for granting me a new life, for always remaining by my side, for embracing my imperfections, and for his love for all sentient beings.”

Elena, a practitioner from Ukraine (Minghui.org)

Elena once suffered from addictions and emotional stress. After practicing Dafa, she changed a lot by getting rid of those bad habits and becoming considerate. She said, “Falun Dafa helped me have a harmonious family. My husband is a practitioner, too. Under our influence, my brother and mother also start practicing. My whole family support each other and move forward diligently.”

Practitioner Tony (Minghui.org)

Another practitioner named Tony said, “Before I began practicing, my lifestyle was extremely unhealthy—I gambled, smoked, and drank heavily. I also had a volatile temper, and would fly into a rage at the slightest provocation. All these bad habits led to health problems: headaches, stomach pain, joint pain, deteriorating eyesight, and Hepatitis B. In short, physical ailments tormented me every single day.”

A friend introduced him to Falun Dafa in 2012. Practicing Dafa changed him and let him have a new life. He got rid of the bad habits, improved his character, and recovered from the ailments without medical treatment. He said he appreciated Master for the opportunity to practice Dafa, and for teaching the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.

Practitioner Przemek (Minghui.org)

Przemek is from the southern Polish city of Gliwice, and started practicing Dafa in 2009. He said, “I transformed from an opinionated person into a peaceful Falun Gong practitioner. It was Dafa that changed me. Therefore, on this beautiful World Falun Dafa Day, I drove halfway across Poland to Warsaw specifically to participate in this joyous celebration. I am grateful to Dafa, and I am grateful to Master!”

Practitioner Paweł (Minghui.org)

Paweł lives in the same city as Przemek, and was also happy to participate in the celebrations. He said, “Since I began practicing over a decade ago, I have personally experienced the immense benefits of Falun Dafa. I approach my work each day with boundless energy, devoting my spare time to studying the Fa, doing the exercises, and clarifying the truth. I offer my heartfelt gratitude to Master Li for bringing Falun Dafa to people across the globe during these complex and challenging times.”
