(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Romania held informational events in the capital of Bucharest, on the coast, in the mountains, and in Transylvania between August 16 and September 13, 2025.
In Bucharest, they held an event on August 16 near Gheorge Șincai High School and on August 30 in Charles De Gaulle Square. They were on the coast in Constanța on August 24, in Transylvania in Deva from September 5 to 6, in Hunedoara from September 6 to 7, and in the mountainous area in Sinaia on September 13.
They demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises, handed out informational materials, and told people about Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. They also told people how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) pressures practitioners to renounce these principles. They answered questions and collected signatures on the petition to the G7+7 countries [Editor’s note: The G7 includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States; the +7 includes Argentina, Australia, India, Israel, Mexico, South Korea, and Taiwan] to end the persecution.

Professor: Falun Dafa Opens Up Opportunities
In Hunedoara and Deva, many people talked to practitioners and wanted to learn about the benefits of the practice, its principles, and the exercises. One was Carmen Greblă, a professor in Hunedoara, who helps to promote cultural events in the city. She has a popular Facebook page in Hunedoara where she posts about informative and educational events. She helped practitioners select a suitable location—the Corvin Pedestrian Zone—and supported them throughout the event.
Carmen Greblă urged people to learn about Falun Dafa.
Ms. Greblă explained why she helped to promote the practitioners’ event: “The exercises bring inner peace and calm to our energy field. You become free of stress, you feel liberated, and you allow your mind and body to develop. People begin to appreciate sincerity, to be capable of empathy and kindness, to manage their stress, and to remain calm in difficult situations. Applying these three values leads to a more peaceful inner life, social relationships based on respect and trust, and a balanced community that keeps impulsiveness and irritability at bay, becoming more attentive to the needs of others.
“If I want a healthy life, if I want calmness and peace to live my life here on Earth with all the joys it brings me, then I do my best to attract these values. And, yes, Falun Dafa opens up these opportunities for me, improving my physical and mental health, [which] is a priority for me. This way, I am much more open to compassion and tolerance.”
Regarding the CCP’s persecution of practitioners, she said that it was inconceivable that a government would persecute its own people and that only ignorance prevents the persecutors from understanding that it would be in their best interest to practice Falun Dafa.
“I believe that the people of a country are our family. I can’t believe that anyone in the family would wish harm upon their fellow human beings. Unfortunately, we live in times when we do not love our own kind and rejoice in the misfortune of others. I believe that if they also practiced Falun Dafa, they would come to cherish the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance,” she said.
Ms. Greblă said that it was important for practitioners to “Remain calm in difficult situations” and to “have the patience to persevere” and that their desire to have their right to express their belief and share their authentic cultural values with the whole world is legitimate.
“Tens of millions of people around the world, of all ethnicities, practice Falun Dafa to achieve a more balanced life, out of a desire to be healthier, for social relationships based on respect and trust, to be able to live in peace and enjoy what exists on Earth,” she said.
Convinced of the physical, spiritual, and social benefits of practicing Falun Dafa, she expressed a desire to promote future events in Hunedoara. She said she would promote events about Falun Dafa on her Facebook page, with the date, time, and location, so that more people in Hunedoara will know about them and learn the exercises.
Falun Dafa’s Principles Can Help Society
Jeni in Sinaia was excited to learn about Falun Dafa.
“I am glad I met you [practitioners],” Jeni said. “It was a great pleasure to talk to the lady. She described many things to me, and I will try to buy this book to learn more. Nothing is random, it’s an extraordinary thing, that’s why I stopped. If only more people would do the same! It’s an extraordinarily good thing. It helps people. I’ll try to get to the Brașov practice site, at least once to see. Please give me the address.
“These principles would help society a lot, in my opinion. Because there are many people who don’t know how to reach that level, to be even better. I had a lot of problems and I hated it with all my heart. But I was only hurting myself,” said Jeni.
She also said compassion can help people let go and live with a clean conscience. She thanked practitioners for informing her of these positive values.
A young woman was pleased to learn that Falun Dafa teaches people to live according to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
“I believe that everyone should follow these moral principles, that every person has kindness; I don’t understand how these values could be ignored. I visited China and would never have believed that such things are happening there, that cultural values—documents and works of art in temples—have been destroyed by the communist party and that those who believe in these important values are being killed,” she said. She added that she would sign the online petition to stop the persecution.
Medical School Graduate Expresses Solidarity with Falun Dafa Practitioners
Daniela signed the petition during the event near the Gheorghe Șincai High School in Bucharest on August 16.
Daniela, who recently graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, signed the petition to the G7+7 countries at the event in Bucharest.
“It’s great that this practice has spread internationally, but the problem is that they are persecuted in their own country. However, the good thing is that those who really want to practice can leave and practice elsewhere, which is a way out. I can’t imagine what it’s like. It’s very difficult for me to put myself in their shoes. All I can do is send them lots of strength and good thoughts, because they are very brave to do this, and I want to wish them all the best, good health, and peace,” she said.
Insurance Agent and Broker Calls for Legal Protection of Falun Dafa Practitioners
At their event near the Perla Hotel in Constanța, practitioners told people about Falun Dafa, its principles, and the fact that, in China, under the communist regime, Falun Dafa practitioners are persecuted for their belief. Some people said they’d heard of Falun Dafa before.
Simona Geta Grosea, an insurance agent and broker, signed the petition to the G7+7 countries in Constanța on August 24.
Simona Geta Grosea said she learned about Falun Dafa in 2020 and advocates for freedom of thought and expression.
“There should be laws that prohibit such things and protect people who are mistreated. Everyone should be free to think what they want. Thought is free. I don’t have to tell you who to believe in, what to do, or vice versa. Everyone is free,” she said.
Simona encouraged practitioners, saying, “Resist and keep fighting!”
