A series of activities and events are planned over
4 days for this year’s Falun Dafa Day on May 13.
May 13 is the birthday of Li Hongzhi, Falun Dafa’s
founder. Falun Dafa is also called Falun Gong.
A practice of mind and body, Falun Dafa teaches
Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
Attendees say their well-being owes much to the
meditation practice they share.
Victoria Szafranska, Physical Therapy student:
I feel more at ease mentally. I feel more conscious of my emotions
mentally. I also feel less tension in my shoulders, physically.
Less stress overall. Definitely more happy, I feel more positive going
to work dealing with my patients at work, addressing their emotions
and being conscious of their emotions also.
Dorian Filip, Local Practitioner:
Over the time with the pain, I started being quite anxious, depressed,
and not happy, not happy at all. I was wondering a lot about life
what’s the meaning of life, why there’s so much pain, why suffering?
When I started practicing everything changed tremendously.
I feel a lot more relaxed, more focused on what I’m doing in my
daily life, either work or family related, and happy, really happy inside.
Michael Carter, Local Practitioner:
Once I started learning about the principles truthfulness, compassion,
and forbearance I started changing the inside, my heart and my mind
and I became more compassionate, I was more tolerant.
Mika Hale, Vocalist:
It was pretty turbulent actually most of my relationships were really
strained, especially with my family.
In 2007 I was so miserable with my life that I used to pray
everyday outside my window—to be killed.
Mika used to suffer from a thyroid condition
and it miraculously went away after practicing.
Her strained relationships also began to change.
Mika Hale, Vocalist:
Being able to talk to people from a genuine place, my relationship
with my mother is amazing
and the relationship with my sister and children are amazing.
Before they were really turbulent.
Scott Chinn, Software Developer:
Before I started practicing Falun gong you could say I had
a lot of anxiety, also stress, stressed about things I couldn’t control—
Scott decided to try out Falun Dafa in 1999 after
seeing positive changes in his friend who practices.
Scott Chinn, Software Developer:
Less anxiety, less stress, just happier overall, it’s just gotten better
and better and better. I keep practicing because I keep feeling happy.
