Little Sydney School Girl Expresses: The Best Exercise I've Ever Done in the World

By Sydney Practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) A few weeks ago when we were participating in "Active Australia Day," we met a six-year-old Australian girl. She was immediately attracted to Falun Dafa and paid very close attention when learning the exercises. After she returned home, she told her mother about Falun Dafa. Her mother contacted the girl's school, Newtown Public School, and introduced the principles of Falun Dafa to the principal, at the same time expressing her daughter's wish to learn Falun Dafa. Therefore, her teacher telephoned and asked us to introduce and teach Falun Dafa at their school.

On December 7, 2001, a few Falun Dafa practitioners arrived at Newtown Public School and received warm welcomes from the teachers and students. More than 40 kindergarten children surrounded us and excitedly asked many questions about Falun Dafa, such as, "Is it like Tai Chi?" "Do we learn how to hit like Bruce Lee?" After a brief introduction, we played the Sydney May 13 Falun Dafa Day video. They were excited to see so many children their age doing the exercises. After the video was finished, almost all the children remembered the theme song "Freedom."

Then Vina (a practitioner) started to teach the children the exercises. Every child paid close attention to the movements and it could be seen from their earnest and serious expressions that they were all captivated by the beauty and peacefulness of Falun Dafa.

After the exercises we asked the children how they felt. One little girl stood up and said, "That was the best exercise I've ever done in the world!"

We then played a three-minute video of the exercises. When it was finished, Vina asked a question as to who could remember the last few words in the video. One boy remembered that they were "Falun Dafa" and in the end, all the children remembered "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance."
