(Minghui.org) The Singapore Falun Dafa Association held a free nine-day Falun Dafa class from June 6 to 14, 2026.
Many participants had practiced Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) when they were young but had stopped for over 10 years. During the June class, they had the opportunity to reconnect with Falun Dafa. Some of these attendees were Chinese people who lived and worked in Singapore, and some were local Singaporeans.

Drawn to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance
Vivian, who lives in Singapore, works in a company’s accounting department. She said that her boss told her about Falun Dafa 20 years ago, and at the time, she was drawn to Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. She felt that it’s difficult to find someone who is sincere, and that people can be two-sided and not genuine. Vivian shared that Forbearance was the hardest of Dafa’s principles to achieve, because she sometimes loses her temper at work. She wants to improve her character and health by practicing Falun Dafa.
Vivian believes Master Li’s teachings, and she plans to tell her friends about Falun Dafa.
Mother and Daughter Delighted to See Falun Dafa in Singapore
Hui attended the class with her mother. When she lived in China years ago, she practiced the exercises with her mother, and many people came to their place to do the exercises. However, due to the slanderous reports on television (after the persecution started), people eventually stopped coming.
Hui shared that she became emotional when she recently heard the familiar Falun Dafa exercise music as she walked in a park. She noticed a group of people meditating, so she joined them. Hearing the music caused Hui to remember that she’d read online about how Falun Dafa practitioners in China are brutally suppressed and tortured.
She said when she was in elementary school she deeply believed that divine beings existed. After finally reconnecting with Dafa, Hui practices the exercises with her mother at the local exercise site.
Hui’s mother shared that their family first learned about Falun Dafa when her brother (Hui’s uncle), who was attending school in the city, gave her a copy of Zhuan Falun. The more she read the book, the more she enjoyed reading it. She thought that Falun Dafa was great and she started practicing.
When televisions in China began playing slanderous reports about Falun Dafa, many people stopped practicing. Hui’s mother visited other practitioners and asked why they stopped coming to their home do the exercises and study the teachings. Many said they no longer practiced, and some said they’d burned the book out of fear.
Hoping to Return to the True Origin
Ms. Ma also learned about Falun Dafa over 20 years ago because her parents practiced. But because she was young, she did not want to practice Dafa. Ms. Ma recently saw a sign for the Singapore Falun Dafa Association while she riding a bus and suddenly had the urge to cultivate. She saw the information about the nine-day class on the Minghui website. She was not able to attend the classes in March because she was busy, but after the school break in June, she finally had time to attend the class with her child.
Ms. Ma said that before she came to the class, she suddenly had a fever of 38°C (100.4°F), but she decided to come anyway. She felt much better after she attended. She feels a connection with Falun Dafa and wishes to continue practicing.
Woman From India Wishes to Learn Chinese
Nikki from India said that she’s always been drawn to Chinese people and the Chinese language. She laughed and said she was probably Chinese in a previous life. She was grateful for the opportunity to participate in this nine-day class, and expressed her appreciation for the veteran practitioners who volunteered during the class. Like many of the other attendees, she also felt she seemed to be predestined to come learn Falun Dafa.
Nikki said she hoped that all who participated in the nine-day class can overcome their challenges, fulfill their goals for attending the class, and continue cultivating in Falun Dafa. She also said she wished to learn Chinese so she could listen to Master Li Hongzhi’s original lecture recordings and read Falun Dafa’s main book, Zhuan Falun in Chinese.
The Falun Dafa class is held for nine consecutive days from 7:15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. The next session will be held from Saturday, September 5, 2026, to Sunday, September 13, 2026. People can sign up via email: register@falundafa.org.sg.
