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.

He also said, “Many Japanese still do not know about the CCP regime’s persecution of Falun Gong. First and foremost, I want to tell them about the atrocities being committed by the CCP. I cannot tolerate such persecution. As a human being, this definitely cannot be permitted—I strongly oppose the persecution.”
(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Hiroshima, Japan, participated in the 11th Hiroshima International Cultural Exchange Event, called the World Festa Hiroshima, celebrated on June 4, 2023. The theme of the event for this year was “Respect Freedom and Human Rights.” They introduced Falun Dafa and demonstrated the exercises to the visitors. The organizer condemned the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) at the event and hoped that China would come to respect freedom and human rights.
The event was organized by the “Hiroshima Twenty One Project” and the Hiroshima International Cultural Exchange Executive Committee. The goal of the event is to promote mutual understanding and exchange among people of different nationalities, religions, and opinions through the arts, including stage performances. Sixteen organizations representing ethnicities from all over the world presented 40 performances, such as the Japanese drums, Sanxian (a three-stringed traditional Chinese lute), Japanese folk songs, shakuhachi, piano, ballet, Spanish and Philippine songs and dances, and so on.

Falun Dafa practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises and played the Chinese waist drums. Before the exercise demonstration, the emcee said that Falun Dafa has already spread to more than a hundred countries throughout the world and is currently practiced by over 100 million people. The emcee also explained the main points for each exercise. Many in the audience in front of the stage copied the practitioners in doing the exercises. The Chinese waist drum performance garnered a round of applause.
Mr. NaKaMiTu Ken and Ms. Kumiko Kisaka enjoyed watching the practitioners’ exercise demonstration.
After the performances, Mr. NaKaMiTu Ken, who is engaged in welfare undertakings, said, “The Falun Dafa group’s programs are very good. I am very pleased to see them today.”
Seated beside him was Ms. KiSaKa KuMiKo, who said, “I have been copying the movements with everyone just now. They are simple and easy to learn and make me feel very comfortable. We are at one with the practitioners on stage.”
The event organizer, Mr. SuGa EiJi, condemned the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong.
Mr. SuGa EiJi, the representative of the “Hiroshima Twenty One Project” and the event organizer, said in his closing remarks, “This is a time of unrest. Not only is there the war between Russia and Ukraine, you all may have heard of the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong. What is meant by justice? Every one of us has our own opinion. In the face of this reality that is filled with grief and indignation, we long for peace. As long as we work hand in hand, I believe that our wish for a society that respects freedom and human rights will be realized. That is why we chose the theme of this exchange to be ‘Respect freedom and human rights.’”
He also said, “Many Japanese still do not know about the CCP regime’s persecution of Falun Gong. First and foremost, I want to tell them about the atrocities being committed by the CCP. I cannot tolerate such persecution. As a human being, this definitely cannot be permitted—I strongly oppose the persecution.”

How Could the Chinese Communist Party be Afraid of Falun Gong?
Nov. 25, 2022 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Japan
After the exercise demonstration, two ladies asked practitioners about Falun Dafa, and when the exercises would be taught at the Kabe Public Hall. The practitioner told them that Falun Dafa is beneficial for both mind and body. Not only does one need to do the exercises, the cultivation of one’s heart is an essential aspect of the practice. Only when one improves one’s character, can one truly attain good health through doing the exercises.
(Minghui.org)November is the peak of the autumn season in Japan. Many autumn celebrations that were stopped for two years due to the COVID pandemic resumed this year. Practitioners in Hiroshima participated in the Kabe Public Hall Festival on November 6, the Higashihiroshima City Lifelong Learning Festival, and the Citizen Exchange Festival to tell people about Falun Dafa and the persecution in China.
Demonstrating the Exercises at the Kabe Public Hall Festival
Practitioners were invited to demonstrate the exercises on stage during events held at the Kabe Public Hall Festival on November 6. Many people stood up from their seats to imitate the exercise movements while practitioners did them. Some said that they felt very relaxed and comfortable afterwards.

Both ladies nodded repeatedly and said that this is what they had been looking for.
East Hiroshima City Councilors Learn About Falun Dafa
Practitioners also participated in East Hiroshima City’s Higashihiroshima City Lifelong Learning Festival on the same day. They set up a booth, distributed information about Falun Dafa, and taught people how to fold small paper lotus flowers. Many people stopped by the booth.
City councilors Kayoko Shigemori and Mistuaki Kitabayashi came to the Falun Dafa booth and talked to practitioners while they learned how to fold paper lotus flowers.
Kayoko Shigemori mentioned that when he was the president of the Rotary Club 10 years ago, he heard about Shen Yun from Falun Dafa practitioners. He heard about this year’s upcoming Shen Yun performances during this festival.
Children learned how to fold small lotus flowers at the Falun Dafa booth during the Higashihiroshima City Lifelong Learning Festival.
Practitioner Ms. Qing Guang said that so many people visited the Falun Dafa booth that she ran out of materials.
People Learn about Falun Dafa During the Citizen Exchange Festival
During the Citizen Exchange Festival on November 19 and 20, practitioners not only demonstrated the exercises, they also gave waist drum performances and a drama performance, “Story of the Deity Teaching People to Write.” They also showed people how to make small lotus flowers.
When practitioners demonstrated the exercises, a man who did the movements with them from the beginning to the end, said that he felt great energy and exclaimed, “The energy field here is so strong!”

A young man said that the small lotus flowers were very pretty, so he came to the booth to learn how to fold one. A practitioner told him that in the past 23 years, Falun Dafa practitioners did not give up their belief and persisted in spreading the truth despite the persecution. She explained that the lotus flower symbolizes practitioners’ strong faith and not relenting in the face of the persecution. They are like lotus flowers rising out of the mud.
The young man said that this was the first time he had heard about the persecution and he was shocked. Many people talked with practitioners during the event. Several thanked them and said they gained a deep understanding of Falun Dafa and expressed their support for the practice.

Aug. 1, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Japan
Ayami, 10, said she cherished the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance very much. She reminds herself that she’s a practitioner, and is always considerate of others. As a result, she gets along well with classmates at school.
(Minghui.org) Twenty-nine children and their parents attended the summer camp organized by the Minghui School of Tokyo Metropolitan Area, which was held July 23-26 at Kamogawa Youth Nature House, the only ocean-type public education facility in Chiba City. Some non-practitioner parents and children who attended the camp said they very much enjoyed it.
Young practitioners do the Falun Dafa exercises
Reading the Falun Dafa teachings
Along with doing the Falun Dafa exercises and reading the teachings, the summer camp offered various activities such as playing at the beach, learning dance techniques, fireworks, and group discussions. Both parents and children praised the enjoyable and productive days, and said they looked forward to another session.
An adult who does not practice Falun Dafa said she was impressed because the activities were well-planned. For example, almost no child played with their cell phone during the camp. She pointed out that electronic devices have become a major problem in today’s society, and especially seem to have a negative impact on children. She was glad children learned other activities and talked with each other.
Playing at the beach
Learning to cook—from chopping firewood to preparing vegetables
A Positive Environment
Seeing the other campers do the exercises as a group every day, some children who rarely did them joined in. A 10-year-old boy said he was reluctant to do the fifth Falun Dafa exercise (meditation) at home because it was too painful. At camp he was able to meditate for 30 minutes. His mother said she liked the group environment very much.
One girl, who is not a practitioner, asked why everyone was meditating and sending righteous thoughts. Another camper told her practicing Falun Dafa improves both mind and body. The girl’s mother said she knew about Falun Dafa and was happy to spend time with practitioners. “It is amazing that you work so hard every day and still have so much energy–I guess it is because you do the exercises,” she said.
Another mother, Chen, also liked the group meditation. She said meditating with others helped the children calm down and stay focused. She believed having inner peace gives one wisdom. Not only did she encourage her children to learn the exercises, she also did them.
Two children who did not practice Falun Dafa said they had a great time. They liked the young practitioners and had made friends with them. They also hoped to attend more activities like this in the future. One 9-year-old girl could not read Chinese, but she read Hong Yin with other young practitioners. (Hong Yin isacollection of poems written by Falun Dafa’s founder.)
Learning from Each Other
A group discussion was held before the summer camp ended. Four-year-old Youyou said she liked being with other young practitioners. Even though she only read Hong Yin for five minutes at home every day, she was impressed that other children spent more time reading. She and her mother said they planned to increase the time they read the Falun Dafa teachings.
Two brothers said the teachings showed them how to be good people. The older boy read Hong Yin and did the exercises and did not need their mother to remind them. His 6-year-old young brother was able to recite some poems from Hong Yin.
Ayami, 10, said she cherished the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance very much. She reminds herself that she’s a practitioner, and is always considerate of others. As a result, she gets along well with classmates at school.
Akari, 12, said she planned to go to Taiwan next year and that is why she wanted to read the Falun Dafa teachings in Japanese this year. She talked about improving her xinxing at school. One classmate said bad things about her and other children. Akari became upset and took some extreme measures. Another student pushed Akari over and injured her arm. But fortunately her head barely missed being hit by a desk. She understood that she was protected by Master Li, founder of Falun Dafa. “At that moment, I knew this accident happened because I had harmed that friend, and this was the consequence,” she said. “I decided to be nice to others from then on even if they were wrong.”
Ryo is 9 and said some classmates said bad things about him in the past. He retaliated by badmouthing them. After he read the Falun Dafa teachings at the Minghui summer camp, he learned about the principles of no loss no gain. In fact, when other people said bad things about him, he did not lose anything and could even receive virtue (de) instead. Since then, he also studied Falun Dafa teachings at home with his mother. He no longer said bad things about others. Miraculously, others also stopped saying bad things about him.
Ten-year-old Hikaru said he also improved a lot through group study. He was able to follow Falun Dafa’s teachings no matter what others did.
Feedback from Facility Managers
This is the first time Falun Dafa practitioners in Japan had such an event and they were praised by managers at the facility. They said the campers were very polite and kept the building clean.
For example, the air conditioning system broke down and the rooms were hot. Other groups who were using the building became upset and complained. But Minghui School campers were very cooperative and did not say anything. Both the children and adults who participated in the Minghui camp were polite and considerate, which the building managers greatly appreciated.
A camp coordinator gave the managers information about Falun Dafa and the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They welcomed practitioners to come back and encouraged them to teach the practice in the community.
