Practitioners of Orlando, Florida, Promote the Fa to People from All Walks of Life

The January 2001 Falun Dafa conference in Florida had a huge impact on the central area of Florida. Several spiritual and other organizations asked the local Falun Gong practitioners to give Falun Gong introductions and demonstrations to their respective groups.

On February 10, a Qigong organization invited the local practitioners to introduce Falun Gong to them. Most of the people were Qigong instructors. When our practitioners met them, they saw one person wearing a yellow "Falun Gong" T-shirt. She told us that she attended the Florida Falun Gong conference. She said, "I did not know the movements, I just followed along with what others were doing. I felt I was surrounded by a huge energy cover; I have practiced Qigong for so many years but never had such a feeling." After we finished teaching the movements, she asked when we would teach them the exercises again. On the second day, we went there again and practiced the exercises with them. A practitioner said, "Yesterday when I was doing the exercises at the beginning, I saw many different colors, and I saw the structure of molecules." She suggested organizing a group practice periodically.

On February 11, Orlando practitioners gave an introduction to Falun Gong and talked about the persecution in China to the church members at a church in Eustis City. Almost half of the 60 plus attendees had heard about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. However, they did not have much knowledge about Falun Gong. After listening to the introduction, they immediately wanted to learn the exercises. After the exercises, a person came up and told the practitioners, "I had a bad headache when I came today; after the exercises, the headache disappeared." Many people bought the books and videotapes and asked us to organize the practice regularly.

Falun Gong became a regular weekly class at a senior center. The seniors ranged from 65 to 91 years old in this senior center. All the seniors who have learned Falun Gong enjoyed it very much. A senior said, "When I was doing the holding the Law Wheel movement, I felt a strong energy flowed from one hand to the other, and I also saw different colors floating in front of my eyes." The manager of this senior center said, "Falun Gong is easier to learn than Tai Chi and Yoga. Falun Gong also promotes morality which is good to our bodies and minds." She also said, "After practicing Falun Gong I understood why the Chinese government could not stop people from practicing it since Falun Gong indeed makes us feel better."
