Many parents brought their children to participate in the session at Gangshan High School. They learned together and improved relationships.

In the opening ceremony at Luhsu High School, the principal encouraged local residents to join the instruction sessions. The number of people who registered for the sessions was more than expected, and the classroom was changed to a bigger one with audio and video facilities.

On the first day's class, the video program, "The Path for Humans Returning to Truth" was played. Then practitioners shared their cultivation experiences on stage and exposed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong in China.

Ms. Hsou almost lost her eyesight before practising Falun Gong. Her husband is a well-known doctor but could not cure her eye illness. She was fortunate to begin Falun Gong cultivation practice, and then gradually recovered from her illness. She could then travel with her husband to participate in medical forums around the world. Her husband was moved by the miraculous improvements she experienced.

Ms. Lin, a retired primary school teacher, said she was fortunate to join a teacher study session to learn Falun Gong in Tainan. After practicing Falun Gong for four months, her illness, which caused dizziness due to an inner ear problem for many years, completely disappeared. She enlightened that cultivation is to eliminate attachments.

Mr. Wen had arthritis, insomnia, and cataracts. He could only read newspaper headlines. After practising Falun Gong for one month, he could again read the newspaper, and his arthritis was much improved. He recovered from insomnia and stopped drinking. His friends were moved by his changes.
