(Clearwisdom.net) On October 18th the grand opening ceremony of the Third German Health Fair was held in Leipzig. The fair lasted for two days, and attracted a total of 52 medical and health organisations to participate. Falun Gong was invited to participate in the event as well.

Many people visit the Falun Gong booth.

Two German women learn the Falun Gong exercises.

As a traditional cultivation practice from the East, Falun Gong attracted a lot of people during the two days, due to its miraculous effect to enhance both physical health and spiritual well-being. Many visitors came to inquire about Falun Gong and at times the Falun Gong booth was overwhelmed with people asking for flyers. Many people bought Falun Gong books and audio and video materials after hearing about Falun Gong's great effect in improving health. Some people even started to learn the exercises there and then. Two women said after learning the exercises, "It's amazing. I've only learned it for several minutes, but I feel very relaxed all over my body. It's fantastic beyond description. Falun Gong is really wonderful."

Demonstrating of the Falun Gong exercises at the seminar

During the two day Health Fair, the organiser arranged for Falun Gong to have three seminars. In addition to attracting a full house at each seminar, Falun Gong was highly acclaimed and welcomed by visitors.

At the seminars, Falun Gong practitioners introduced Falun Gong's peacefulness and magnificence to all the participants through the demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises, giving lectures and playing videos. At the end of each seminar, practitioners received enthusiastic applause from the audience. Particularly, after hearing that Falun Gong practitioners have undergone the Chinese Communist regime's cruel and bloody persecution in China, they signed a petition against the persecution one after another. They said, "It is ridiculous that such a wonderful cultivation practice is treated like this in China. The persecution must stop right away."

In the exhibition hall, it was not uncommon to spot people wearing beautiful paper-folded lotus flowers with the bookmarks of "Falun Gong is good." Each lotus flower was representative of Falun Gong's blessings to the visitors, as it disseminated peaceful and magnificent messages to all the corners of the exhibition hall.
