Spain: Practitioners Introduce Falun Gong to Children in a School in Zaragoza

Falun Gong has spread all over the world and is now known by more and more people. In the Spanish city Zaragoza, the principal of a public school La Estrella was pleased to agree that Falun Gong would be introduced during the school's Culture Week program.

On April 28th and 30th Falun Gong practitioners went to the school to teach a group of children aged 8 to 11 year old made up of two grades with more than 100. One activity was held indoors and another was held outside the building. The principal personally prepared the audio and recorded the music of Falun Gong. Listening to a piece of original music entitled Pudu, the children showed a strong curiosity and interest in Falun Gong.

The Falun Gong practitioners told them that Falun Gong advocates Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance. When they realised that the children had not yet got the point the practitioners explained further in terms of words which the children could understand fully: Truth is to say true words, to do true things; Compassion is to consider other people in advance when doing things, to develop a kind heart; Forbearance is to be able to endure; to step back when something happens, to find out if I have done things in a incorrect way and so on.

When learning the fifth exercise, some children were able to do double crossing sitting immediately, a lot of people were calling for assistance; after being guided, the majority of children were sitting in the double crossing position; they sat still with their hands joined, it looked liked they were quite serious.

When the activities were over, the children waved, saying, "Bye bye! Please come again soon!" The principal also made a sincere invitation: "See you guys again at the next Cultural Week".
