Representatives of Lions Club International listen to the introduction

The Lions Club International in Turkey is an influential organisation. Its Istanbul Harbiye Branch invited Falun Gong practitioners to present this seminar to twenty-five primary representatives of its organisation.

Falun Gong practitioners gave a two-hour introduction covering five topics: Introduction to Falun Gong, Sharing of Falun Gong cultivation experiences, exercise demonstration, persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and Shen Yun Performing Arts and Art Exhibition.

The representatives were fascinated by Falun Gong's principles, health benefits, and exercises. Three practitioners shared their personal experiences in practising Falun Gong and received warm applause. Everyone at the seminar learned the great changes Falun Gong had brought to practitioners. They were shocked by and felt resentment upon learning of the brutal persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP over the past twelve years, especially regarding the CCP's crimes of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Seminar attendees expressed their wishes to end the persecution, and extended their sympathy to Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted. Many attendees wanted to learn the Falun Gong practice. Close to twenty bought the book Zhuan Falun. They repeatedly and sincerely thanked Falun Gong practitioners and said they planned to spread the information they learned to other branches of their organisation.
