(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners participated in the Goen Rakuichi Fair in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on November 15, 2025. They talked with local residents and taught the free Falun Dafa exercises. Many people who did the exercises said they felt relaxed, refreshed, and comfortable, and agreed with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
The Goen Rakuichi Fair is organized by volunteers and non-profit civil organizations dedicated to contributing to society. Goen means predestined relationship in Japanese. Through the event practitioners wished to help Japanese learn about Falun Dafa.
Practitioners taught the exercises and talked with visitors at the Goen Rakuichi Fair.
Cultivating One’s Character Is Very Important
Many people came to the booth during the event and talked with practitioners who told them about Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Many also learned the exercises.
Ms. Kunitomi said she’s always enjoyed doing stretching exercises, and is very interested in eastern health methods and ways of conditioning one’s body and mind. “The stretching movement feels very comfortable,” she said. She took informational materials about Falun Dafa and said she would read them carefully when she got home.
After learning about Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, Ms. Kunitomi said, “Cultivating one’s character is very important because people often unconsciously tell lies, and with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, this can be avoided.” She learned more about the practice, and asked where the practice sites in Yokohama were located.

Ms. Tanaka said, “Although the movements are simple, I understand how important it is to stretch and relax the body. The movements are easy to learn, and I want to continue practicing.” She resonated with Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. “I think these principles are very correct,” she said.
Ms. Shibuya said she originally thought the movements would be slower and tedious, but after trying them, she said the exercises were moderate and smooth, and she felt very comfortable. She said that Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance were admirable, but putting them into practice in daily life would not be easy.

“Hope to Educate my Children With Principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance”
After learning the exercises with her daughter, Ms. Miyamoto said, “My body feels relaxed and very comfortable.” She agrees with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and hopes to educate her children with these principles.

Ms. Shinoda, who experienced the exercises for the first time, said, “Although it’s the first I’ve done them, the teaching method was simple and easy to understand. Even beginners can easily do the exercises by following the instructions. It was a very pleasant experience.” She said if the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance were broadly disseminated, there would be fewer disputes and conflicts in society.
Ms. Yamada smiled, and said, “My body is stretched out, and it feels very comfortable.” After listening to a practitioner describe Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, she said, “I think it’s very good.”

After Ms. Muraoka did the exercises, she said, “This relaxes my body. I feel good.”
