Turkey: Spreading Falun Gong at CAG University in Mersin (Photos)

By a Turkish Falun Gong practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) CAG University is the only private university in Mersin. I have been teaching in the English Language Department there for almost two years. We recently established a Falun Gong Student Club, which has become one of the most popular clubs in the university.

Last year, my students noticed that I was very patient and never got angry. Also, some students noticed that on the days I was going to teach them, they woke up easier in the morning and were happy to come to college. They asked how I could be so calm. I told them about Falun Gong, the guiding principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance and the energy field around Falun Gong practitioners. They immediately applied for permission to learn the exercises at college.

I told the students in my class about the human rights abuses against Falun Gong practitioners in China and they made posters about the persecution and hung them on the school walls. Most of the lecturers also learned the exercises and a few came to our practice site in Mersin.

As it is a private university, we needed the approval of the principal to hold activities. After finding out what Falun Gong was, the principal asked me to teach him the exercises and also asked me to give a bigger presentation at the movie theatre.

February 23 was the first registration day for all clubs at the university. Almost sixty students and teachers registered to learn the exercises.
