Spain: Practitioners Celebrate World Falun Dafa Day and Wish Master Happy Birthday

Falun Dafa practitioners in Spain held events to celebrate May 13th, World Falun Dafa Day, and Master Li’s 70th birthday at Retiro Park in Madrid on May 9, 2021.

Practitioners demonstrated the exercises, set up display boards, and handed out information to let people know how wonderful Falun Dafa is. Many tourists who watched the demonstration took a flyer. They thanked practitioners for spreading the truth and bringing Falun Dafa to Spain.

Demonstrating the exercises

A local woman was interested in learning the exercises. She asked for detailed information about the exercise site in Madrid and was pleased to accept a paper lotus flower.

Sophia is a new practitioner. She had arthritis and had difficulty walking. She often visited hospitals, but it didn’t help.

By a chance, she found the Falun Dafa instruction video on social media, so she started to do the exercises. A month later her hip was fine. She felt that her life was renewed and decided to do something for Falun Dafa.

Sophia is a professional singer, so she performs at practitioners’ public activities, telling people about the beauty of Falun Dafa and how terrible the persecution is in her songs.

Lucy, another new practitioner, had cardiovascular disease and swollen legs. Her husband suggested she try practicing Falun Dafa and her health problems were resolved.

At Saturday’s event, she expressed her appreciation to Master Li for purifying her body and mind.

“One time after I finished the meditation, I suddenly realized that I had obtained the truth. I cried and thanked Master for giving me a second life and helping me to improve in cultivation.

“I understand the importance of morality for a practitioner,” she said. “I remind myself every day to follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.”
