(Clearwisdom.net) On August 20, 2008, several practitioners went to St. Ann's School to hold Falun Dafa activities. This catholic school is about two-and-a-half hours from Bangalore. During the visit, all the students and teachers practiced the Falun Gong exercises together.

The school has about 530 students. Because of practitioner Chitra's persistent truth-clarification efforts, principal SI Ramya Anto and all of the students and teachers have a good understanding about Falun Dafa. As they desperately wanted to have copies of Zhuan Falun, the practitioners brought them 20 copies during the visit. When they received the books, they were delighted and some even cried.

After a brief introduction, the principal called the students to the auditorium to do the Falun Gong exercises. Since the auditorium could not hold everyone doing the exercises at the same time, the students were divided into several groups and took turns practicing. In general, the students were very attentive and they did the movements very well.

Though it was not the first time for them to practice the exercises, they were still beginners and a common difficulty for them was the lotus position, sitting with both legs crossed, each on top of the other. Some even thought it was not possible for them to do this position. One of the practitioners then told them of the importance of the lotus position and gave a demonstration. A teacher who was very afraid of trying this position eventually made it and was very happy and proud.

At the end of the visit, several practitioners shared cultivation experiences with the principal. A practitioner shared the miracle he experienced: His spine was severely injured and yet it was healed miraculously after he started to practice Falun Dafa. The principal was amazed. She said that this practice must be the way that she had been waiting for.
