(Minghui.org) Practitioners in western France participated in the Salon Zen & Bio in Nantes from October 11 to 13, 2024. They introduced Falun Dafa and demonstrated and taught the exercises.
This was the second time they participated in such an event and many people were interested in learning about Falun Dafa. Nantes is the sixth largest city in France, and this is a very popular health expo.
Practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises during the Salon Zen & Bio in Nantes.
Many people asked about Falun Dafa and some learned the exercises. They left their contact information so that they could attend the group exercises. People who watched the exercise demonstration took informational materials and asked questions. They were surprised and pleased to learn the exercises are taught for free.
One woman who bought a copy of Zhuan Falunsaidshe knew the 卍 symbol in the Falun emblem was ancient and had to do with Buddhism.
Christine and her friend from Cholet said they were looking for a self-cultivation system that improves mind and body. After they did the five exercises, they felt very relaxed. They said they headed for the Falun Dafa booth as soon as they entered the venue as if they were being guided to it. They both purchased a copy of Zhuan Falun, and Christine was so excited that she was in tears. Since there is no group exercise site in Cholet yet, they said they’d learn online first and read Zhuan Falun.
Lucie and Alain have lived in France and Quebec, Canada. When they were learning the exercises, Lucie could do the sitting meditation with her legs crossed in the lotus position with her feet resting on her thighs. She said she’d seen Falun Dafa practitioners in Quebec and was impressed by how long they could meditate. The couple was shocked to learn that Chinese Communist Party persecutes the practice because, they said, the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are universal values. They purchased a copy of Zhuan Falun and planned to go to the practice site in Nantes to learn more.
Barbara was interested but said she didn’t have time to learn the exercises during the event. She obtained a practitioner’s contact information and said she’d learn the exercises at a nearby park the following Wednesday. She also purchased a copy of Zhuan Falun.
Many people had in-depth conversations with practitioners during the event and commented on how the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance could help not only those who practice but the world-at-large.
