(Clearwisdom.net) Early the morning of November 30, 2007, we got up early to take the bus to a village school, Sri Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthama moth in Bangalore.
Since it was the first time to introduce Falun Gong to this school, we met with the founder of the school.? We sat together with about ten others on the floor of the founder's room. We learned from conversation with him that he had an English version of Zhuan Falun, but had not read it. We discussed concepts of cultivation with him and suggested he read the book to learn more. He agreed and promised to read it.

Sri Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthama moth is a religious school including primary school, middle school, high school, and college. The total number of students is over two thousand.? Teachers of each class led students to stand in line to learn the Falun Gong exercises in two batches.
Practitioner Suren Rao introduced Falun Gong briefly. Other practitioners stood in line in front and demonstrated the exercises to the exercise music. The students followed the practitioners' gradual and peaceful hand gestures. The result was very good.
After leaving Sri Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthama moth, the bus went to SRI K.V. English School. The school is over one hundred kilometers away from Bangalore. There were eight hundred students. The school has nice scenery. The teachers and students were very warm. The president said within three weeks, the whole school learned to practice Falun Gong.

The president told us that all teachers and students learned Falun Gong exercises in three weeks. After practicing Falun Gong, they felt very well and would continue. Though most students had an exam that day, not all could participate in group practice. The president asked students from one or two classes to have a group practice.
After a teacher called the students to the drill ground, practitioners from Taiwan and Malaysia demonstrated the exercises on stage and some of them corrected the hand gestures of students. It was sunny and clear like summer. The students followed the music to practice the exercises. Their movements were in order and looked good.
The teacher stood beside and gave instructions. The president said that the practice was very worthwhile spreading, and that all teachers and students should practice in their spare time. Sometimes, the whole school met for group practice.
