(Minghui.org) May 13, 2025, is the 26th World Falun Dafa Day and the 33rd anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction. Practitioners in Latvia held a celebration at Victory Park in Riga.
Although the morning was gray and rainy, the sun appeared in the sky as the event began, creating a warm, bright, and encouraging atmosphere. Practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises and spoke to people about the beneficial effects of this wonderful practice on a person’s mental and physical health, as well as in society. They also showed children and their parents how to make paper lotus flowers.
People Learn About Falun Dafa
Dace from Riga also attended the event, and after learning more about Falun Dafa, said, “It’s good for your health!” She was particularly moved by the principles of the practice. “Many people miss reality these days – everyone lives in virtual realities. And patience – you can achieve a lot with that. Not with a fist on the table, but with peace and consistency,” she said. Dace expressed her desire to learn the exercises another time and left, wishing the practitioners good luck.
A heartfelt moment occurred when three generations of women—a daughter, a mother, and a grandmother—went for a walk in the park to celebrate Mother’s Day and waved to practitioners. One woman said, “We often see you at the Chinese Embassy—you’re always such calm, nice people.” They also expressed interest in learning the exercises.
“So Much Energy!”
Two friends, Galina and Irina, passed by the event several times and then decided to learn the exercises. After a few moves, they were thrilled – “It gives so much energy!” one said. They said they would come to the classes in Riga.
A young woman was tired after walking in the park and stopped to observe the event. A practitioner approached her, and the woman said, “Please teach me the exercises.” She smiled as she did them and said she could feel energy in her hands. When asked what made her so interested in Falun Dafa, she said, “You won’t believe it, but my last name has the word ‘Dafa’ in it. I knew it was a sign.”
Practitioner Benefits from Practicing
Practitioner Judite from Ventspils began practicing Falun Dafa in 2017 and talked about her cultivation experiences. She said that she searched for a spiritual path for many years. “I joined a Christian church, but I did not feel fulfilled. At one point, I realized that life cannot be just about sleeping, eating, and working.”
She said that one evening, she knelt and prayed, “Please show me the true path.” A few days later, in Ventspils, she saw practitioners doing the exercises, but she did not join them. When she saw them again a year later, she was surprised. However, when she saw them for the third time in Liepāja, where she had medical procedures for back problems, she realized that it could not be a coincidence.
She started practicing and, after reading the book Zhuan Falun, her health improved and she felt fulfilled.

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.
