Belgium: New Practitioners Meet in the Park to Practise Falun Gong Exercises and Study the Teachings Together

Lately many new people have come to learn Falun Gong in Belgium. On July the 31st 2004, a meeting was organized for new practitioners in the city of Ghent. Over 20 practitioners, who all started Falun Gong recently, gathered in the park in the morning to practise the Falun Gong exercises together. It was a wonderful day and the weather was really nice. The participants enjoyed practising the exercises in the sun. After the practice, the group started reading the introductory text Falun Gong and discussed questions that came up during the reading. The atmosphere was very serene and even the youngest participant (around 5 years old) was very quiet and attentive. Although the sitting on the ground got hard towards the end, the practitioners who were able to stay the whole day succeeded in finishing the book. A lot of the new practitioners were very happy that they had participated in this group activity and were happy to hear that it will be a regular part of Falun Dafa activities in Belgium from now on.
