By practitioners from UK

(Clearwisdom.net, November 16, 2003) On Sunday the 9th of November, a Body Mind and Spirit Exhibition was held at the Floral Hall in Southport. There were sixty exhibitors at the show, each with stands for a variety of therapies. A group of practitioners from Manchester also joined this expo. As one of the 60 exhibitors, Falun Gong was warmly received.

As the only organization that gave demonstrations during the expo, Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the five exercises that lasted 30 minutes twice on the stage in the main hall. A western practitioner Daryl, a senior aircraft engineer, introduced to the audience the characteristics of Falun Gong and the persecution in China. He told the audience that his wife and himself have been practicing Falun Gong for 6 years.

Also, at 1:30 pm practitioners held a Falun Gong workshop. More than a dozen people learned the exercises on the spot.

The stand attracted people throughout the day and practitioners handed out leaflets, collected signatures for the rescue of Falun Gong practitioners' family members, and answered questions. Many people were astonished to hear of the brutal persecution, particularly after watching the peaceful exercise demonstrations.
