Buryat Republic, Russia: "Now There's a Practice Site Even in this Remote Village" (Photos)

By a practitioner from Russia

(Clearwisdom.net) The Buryat Republic, also known as Buryatia, is a vast but thinly populated place in the mountainous southern extremes of Russia's Siberia. Most residents are descendants of the Mongolians. In a remote village, there live one thousand seven hundred Buryats who are mainly engaged in animal farming, with no computer or internet connection. They know very little about what happens in the outside world.

One of the villagers has a relative who is a Falun Gong practitioner in Irkutsk, Siberia's largest city. One year ago, the villager was lucky enough to learn Falun Gong and started to practice cultivation. Through doing the exercises, the severe arthritis that had bothered him for years was miraculously cured. This became big news in the small village. The practitioner from Irkutsk promoted Falun Gong in the village, bringing along Falun Gong books and materials. A practice site was thus established here.

At present, seven or eight people show up regularly for Fa study and exercises. Everyone feels healthy and energized since they began practicing Falun Gong.

Several practitioners from Irkutsk recently came to study the Fa, do the exercises, and share cultivation experiences with local practitioners. They were also invited to the local school to promote Falun Gong and clarify the truth about the persecution.

A poor, remote village now has a new life. Falun Gong brought health, beauty and hope to the villagers.
