(Minghui.org) “I think everyone should abide by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance,” said Thomas, who had a booth at the Springvale Winter Fest. He said that Falun Dafa’s principles “are the moral pillars in life. As a professional, it is of absolute importance to follow these universal principles at work. The practice promotes health so people can work more years. The daily mental constructions based on the principles can help people to positively react to conflicts. All of these benefit people profoundly,” he said, “Young people should practice Falun Dafa.”

The annual Springvale Winter Fest, a winter community festival in Melbourne, Australia, was held on June 21, 2026. The wide variety of children’s activities, food, and musical performances attracted many residents. Local Falun Gong practitioners set up a booth at the event.

Practitioners demonstrated the exercises and introduced the practice to passersby. There were also paper cutting activities for children, and attracted people of all ages to talk to practitioners and learn more about the practice. A passerby expressed strong interest in learning after hearing about the practice for the first time. A young man who had never heard about Falun Dafa before decided to learn the exercises with his family member. Many people said they were happy to see Falun Dafa at the community event.

Young Business Owner: Falun Dafa Principles Are Moral Pillars in Life

Thomas runs a family business that specializes in the installation and maintenance of security equipment. He said, “I’ve heard about Falun Dafa before and I understand that the practice promotes health. I want to have my grandmother take a look at the flyer and introduce Falun Gong to her. She has arthritis. The exercises look simple and easy to learn, which is suitable for the elderly.

“I think young people should start practicing Falun Dafa so that 20 years from now, they’ll be healthy and energetic. I want to give it a try too.”

Thomas talked about the importance of Falun Dafa’s principles. “I think everyone should abide by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. They are the moral pillars in life. As a professional, it is of absolute importance to follow these universal principles at work. The practice promotes health so people can work more years. These principles help people handle conflicts positively. Falun Dafa can greatly benefit people.”

Thomas thanked practitioners for coming to the community event to introduce Falun Dafa and its teachings. “I believe it’s good to let the people in the community, especially for the young generation, know the practice and its teachings. The older generation understands tradition, but the younger generation is drifting away from them. Young people should practice so they can return to traditional values. Practicing Falun Dafa will definitely help them.” “When more people act based on Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, the world will be more peaceful and better.”

As for the 27-yer-long persecution of Falun Dafa in China, Thomas believed that it is important that practitioners expose the facts behind the persecution to the public through various activities. “It is a good thing to let the public know and be involved, because this can effectively curb human rights abuses in China,” he said.

Vivian who manages a pharmacy, said she was drawn to the principles of Falun Dafa. “Even though I work in a pharmacy, I believe in natural therapy. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to look for a method that suits me and give it a try. Today I came across Falun Dafa and realized that it is what I was looking for,” she said. “I enjoy things that are spiritual and carry positive energy. I believe that some things are bound to happen one way or another. I feel my being able to learn about Falun Dafa here today was not an accident.

“When I heard the three words – Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance – I immediately agreed with them. People should follow these universal values. These are of utter importance to everyone in the community,” said Vivian.

She believed that practicing Falun Dafa would help her to have a balanced mentality so that she could better help her customers. “Everyday I do my best to help our customers. Some of them are very ill. Seeing how they are often worries me and makes me feel sad. Sometimes I feel exhausted. With the positive guidance of Falun Dafa’s principles, I believe I can keep an inner balance,” she said.

Vivian was excited to know that there are free online teaching classes and an exercise site in the park she walks past on her way to work. She repeatedly thanked practitioners.

Matisse, who is in 12th grade, read a flyer about Falun Dafa and said she was very interested in it. She shared her understanding of Falun Dafa’s principles, “I believe that forbearance is extremely important, especially when facing challenges and conflicts with others. Forbearance allows you to consider your own and the other person’s feelings before you say anything. I think this is something worth learning. Being compassionate to others and yourself is also important; you must learn to be kind no matter what. Truthfulness is speaking the truth; maintaining honesty towards yourself and others, which is also very important.”

Matisse said that she believed that following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance would lead her to a bright future. “They are important to the community as well. If more people can share and abide by these values, there will be greater understanding between people, more friendship, and we can head toward a peaceful world.”

She thanked practitioners for telling people about Falun Dafa. “It’s truly wonderful, and means a lot to me. I hope more people practice.”
