(Minghui.org) Practitioners in Indonesia were invited to introduce Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) to Mojoroto, an urban village in Kediri City on August 4, 2024. More than 30 villagers attended the event. The village head said, “I hope that Falun Dafa can provide a solution for the mental and physical health of people in Mojoroto.” The attendees said they felt refreshed after they did the Falun Dafa exercises.

Koharudin, the village head, gave an opening speech during the ceremony and explained why the class was being held.
“In the current society, many people pay little attention to the significance of mental health while Falun Dafa cultivates both mind and body, so I hope that Falun Dafa can provide a solution for the mental and physical health of our people in Mojoroto,” he said.
After the opening speech, practitioners briefly introduced the practice. They played a video that showed the spread of Falun Dafa worldwide, including the ongoing persecution in China. Two practitioners then shared their personal experiences of how they benefited from the practice.
Ayu from Malang City told attendees about how she began practicing Falun Dafa and how it improved her health.
“I got to know Falun Dafa from a friend of mine in 2010 when I was 35 years old. I was suffering from uterine cancer, so I was very anxious and worried that my uterus would have to be removed since I was so young,” she said.
Following her friend’s advice, she visited a Falun Dafa exercise site. However, she didn’t pick up the exercises then. Three years later, in 2013, Ayu’s doctor told her that she had no choice but to undergo an operation to remove her uterus.
“I was shocked, so I contacted the practitioner who told me to just sincerely practice without any pursuit, and strive to become a good person. I completely changed my perception of Falun Dafa and sincerely started practicing. I have enjoyed good health since and even got rid of my previous bad habits and temper,” she said.
Practitioners taught the villagers Falun Dafa’s five exercises, followed by a group discussion about what they experienced.

Irma Suryani, a 54-year old villager, shared her experience. Her right leg was crushed by a motorbike in an accident. Since then, her leg hurt whenever she was tired and she walked with a limp. But after doing the Falun Dafa exercises, she said, “While practicing the fifth exercise, meditation and crossing my legs, my legs felt unbalanced and painful but afterwards I felt great.” “After doing this meditation, I didn’t feel any pain. Very amazing.”
