New Falun Gong Practice Site Established in a Remote Part of Russia

Buryat Republic is a vast but thinly populated area in cold Russian Siberia. Most residents are descendants of the Mongolians. In a remote village lives one thousand seven hundred Buryats who are mainly engaged in animal farming, with no computers or internet connection. They know very little about what happens in the outside world.

One of the villagers has a relative who is a Falun Gong practitioner in Irkutsk. One year ago, the villager was lucky enough to learn Falun Gong and started cultivation. Through doing the exercises, the severe arthritis that bothered him for years was miraculously cured. This became big news in the small village. The practitioner in Irkutsk also promoted Falun Gong in the village, bringing along Falun Gong books and materials. A practice site was thus established in the small village.

At present, seven or eight people show up regularly for Fa study and exercises. Everyone feels healthy and energised since practicing Falun Gong.

Recently, practitioners from Irkutsk came to this village to study Fa, do the exercises, and share cultivation experiences with local practitioners. They were also invited to the local school to promote Falun Gong and clarify the truth about the persecution.

A poor, remote village now has a new life. Falun Gong brought along health, beauty and hope to the villagers.
