[Minghui.org] Italy: Sharing the Falun Dafa Exercises after Seeing Shen Yun

May 31, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Italy

After practicing the exercises, people said that they felt good, more relaxed, and their minds were calmer.

(Minghui.org) Practitioners were invited to teach the Falun Dafa exercises at Parco Pinocchio in Salerno on Sunday, May 21, 2023.

Salerno is a port city just south of Naples on the Mediterranean Sea. It is an ancient city with beautiful beaches and famous tourist sites.

Practitioners taught the Falun Dafa exercises at Parco Pinocchio in Salerno on May 21.

Giuseppe Trivisone, a local man, invited practitioners to hold Falun Dafa exercise instruction classes on May 21, 2023. Mr. Trivisone had seen Shen Yun perform in Italy and then learned the Falun Dafa exercises himself. He had also told his friends and family about them.

Nearly 20 people showed up with their yoga mats that morning to learn the exercises in Parco Pinocchio. Despite the drizzle, everyone who’d said they would come kept their word. Some of them had learned about Falun Dafa in the past, but most of them were learning about the practice for the first time.

People strolling in the park were interested after seeing people practicing the exercises, and many stopped to watch.

Although Mr. Trivisone had learned about Falun Dafa in the past and practiced the exercises, he had never really understood what Dafa was. When he saw on social media that Shen Yun was going to be in Italy this year, he decided to go see it. There were no performances near Salerno, so he and his wife Giulia traveled 450 kilometers north (280 miles) to Florence to see Shen Yun.

The beauty of the Shen Yun performance astounded him, and he was motivated to understand more about Falun Dafa. He began to research the practice online and started to read Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa. He recommended Falun Dafa to his colleagues and friends and then arranged the exercise instruction class with local Falun Dafa practitioners.

After practicing the exercises, people said that they felt good, more relaxed, and their minds were calmer. They exchanged their contact information with practitioners and said they wanted to continue to do the exercises.

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.
