(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners participated in a group exercise in an East London park on Sunday, April 21, 2024. It is seldom that one sees over 50 people doing exercises together. Some passers-by said that the practitioners’ spreading the principles Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance was a good deed. It would promote a healthy life and harmonious coexistence in the community.

Community Manager: Falun Dafa Promotes a Cultural Community

Mohammed Nuro works in a local community center. He is mainly responsible for training activities for young people, who work on projects of different cultural and historical heritages. He quietly watched practitioners doing the exercises and felt that everyone looked relaxed and calm, especially those people near the waterfall.

He said, “Today I watched Falun Dafa practitioners doing the exercises in Mile End Cascade Garden. They were very calm. It was a beautiful scene.” He praised practitioners for sharing ancient Chinese exercises with people from different communities and contributing to the diversity of the community. Communication creates a good atmosphere. Mr. Nuro said, “I hope they can successfully fulfill their wish to share their experiences with others.” Finally, he invited the practitioners to participate in community discussion on immigration and art exhibitions.

His colleague photographer Rihem also appreciated this form of fitness. He said, “The scenery in the park is very beautiful. They gather in the park with a beautiful and peaceful mentality. Nature and people are integrated.”

Teacher Jeff Andrews saw Falun Gong practiced in a group for the first time. He said, “Practice makes people feel happy. It’s really good that everyone participates.” He praised the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance for positively guiding the community. “I think sincerity and compassion are beneficial to people and the community. I would like to participate in the exercise classes and talk about it with my friends,” he said.

Group Practice Is Encouraging

Sef is a medical student at Queen Mary University of London. He said Falun Dafa is very insightful and an interesting topic. He said, “I will do more research and hope to learn the exercises during the Sunday exercise class.”

His classmate also said that practicing Falun Dafa had a calming effect, and he was willing to learn Falun Dafa. Another classmate realized that it was rare to see such a practice in Western media. He felt that Falun Dafa was unique and he wanted to study the practice at home carefully.

College students majoring in mathematics supported a petition. Pranar said Falun Dafa was unique and attracted their attention. His girlfriend nodded in agreement. She had never seen so many people practicing together.

“While walking in a hurry, we do think about what they are doing, and it’s a smart way to get people’s attention,” Planar said. “Considering the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the terror they spread, a lot of people are scared and some companies are refusing to speak out because they have business in China. Now people see you protesting the persecution, which is very encouraging.”
