Taiwan: Club Introduces Falun Gong to University Newcomers (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) On September 20 and 21, National Chung Cheng University held a club fair to welcome new students. Sixty-five clubs and thousands of students packed the university's event center. The Falun Dafa Club, joined by many local practitioners, set up an information booth to introduce the practice to new students.

Practitioners introduce Falun Gong to new students

Club members displayed Zhuan Falun, Falun Gong introduction booklets, event photos, and other truth-clarifying materials for students to read. They also played Master Li Hongzhi's exercise instruction video continuously using a small TV. At the site, one practitioner demonstrated the fifth exercise, "Strengthening Divine Powers." Several practitioners distributed Falun Gong booklets to students.

The booklet elaborated on the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" and detailed the spread of Falun Gong in Taiwan, as well as the brutal persecution of the practice in China. A practitioner who was distributing the booklets later said, "The students are very sincere and curious. Many of them took our materials to learn about Falun Dafa and the persecution."

A member of the Falun Dafa Club told a reporter: "The club was established by a professor six years ago. Members include students and several professors. We practice together on campus after afternoon classes everyday. In addition, we have a weekly Fa study night. Every year, some student members graduate and new students join in to carry on club activities."

Though the club fair was very noisy, one practitioner meditated quietly, demonstrating the sitting meditation. Another practitioner explained features of the practice. The display drew many students' interest.

One practitioner explained, "I started practicing Falun Dafa because I witnessed the beauty of the practice. It was not until I started to practice that I realized that the teaching of Falun Gong is profound. I wish everyone would come to learn the practice."
