Aug. 6, 2024 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Turkey
Practitioners explained what Falun Dafa is and how it is persecuted, and they taught the five exercises to those who attended. When the participants asked questions afterward, one asked how to handle arguments. The practitioner explained that every bad word we say creates karma, that every action that breaks the other person’s heart makes us lose virtue, and that no matter how good it feels to defeat someone, it actually harms us.
(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners held activities in Bodrum City to introduce the spiritual practice on July 6, 2024, at the 500-year-old water cistern and windmill built by Mimar Sinan, the renowned Ottoman architect. It is a popular holiday destination in Turkey. They also told people about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong).
Architect Nilgün Yılmaz, who restored the cistern, offered the venue free of charge after hearing that Falun Dafa is taught for free.
Practitioners explained what Falun Dafa is and why it is persecuted in China. After listening to the explanations, the participants learned the five exercises.
One person said she’s been following Falun Dafa closely for two years and had learned some of the exercise movements. Some said they’d heard of Falun Dafa before and were hoping that a practitioner would come to Bodrum.
After they did the exercises, those who tried them said they felt very relaxed, at peace, and happy. They said they were interested in participating in this event again. They accepted lotus flowers with “Falun Dafa” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” written on them and informational brochures.
Falun Dafa Introduced at a Sports and Music Institution in Istanbul
Practitioners offered a free Falun Dafa class on July 8, 2024, at a pilates and music institute in the Bahçeşehir District of Istanbul. The owner of the establishment, Eda Özdoğan, thought it would be good to include Falun Dafa in her Yogalates program. From the program’s poster and publicity, many people saw the name “Falun Dafa.”

A woman said that it was very nice to learn these things and that it was good to know that there is such a thing as Falun Dafa.

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.
