(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners were invited to participate in the Earth Fair (Feria de la Tierra) in Inca, Mallorca, Spain on October 24 and 25, 2026. The fair is usually held on the fourth weekend of October every year. The event features handmade craft booths and traditional local delicacies, along with themed activities that focus on health and well-being.

Mallorca is bustling with visitors year-round. The fair drew residents, tourists, and expatriates to the island. Practitioners set up a booth in the central square area where they demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises and offered to teach them for free. Many passers-by stopped to watch and learn the exercises.

Elaine is from Chicago in the US and said after trying the exercises, “This practice is very gentle and relaxing. The atmosphere was especially wonderful while doing the exercises with others. It brought me inner peace and allowed me to reflect on things with a calm mind. I really enjoyed it.”
About Falun Gong’s principles, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, Elaine said, “These principles are great. Sincerity and kindness are of the utmost importance, while forbearance and tolerance are equally indispensable in today’s society.”
She said she heard about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution when she visited Dublin. She signed a petition and said, “It is distressing that such persecution occurs. When people begin to think independently and pursue freedom of the mind, they end up facing unjust treatment.”

Vicky who lives in Palma, the capital of Mallorca, was drawn to the peaceful scene as she passed the booth and she decided to try the exercises. Afterward, she said, “The practice is so calm and serene; I truly enjoyed it. I could have kept going for another hour!”
Reflecting on Falun Gong’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, Vicky said that these are guiding values for daily life: “For instance, when I’m with my son, I especially need to practice forbearance. Once I change my mindset and approach, his attitude changes as well.”
Vicky said she previously saw practitioners doing the exercises in a local park, and said she would join the group practice after she tried the exercises during the festival.

Daniel from Italy and now lives on Mallorca and said he’s interested in qigong. He learned the Falun Gong standing exercises on the first day and he returned the following day to learn the fifth exercise, the meditation. He said, “After doing the exercises, I feel refreshed and calm. I am fully immersed in the wonder of the present moment, and I feel a profound connection to my inner self.”
After listening to a practitioner’s introduction to the book Zhuan Falun and the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, he said, “It is important to apply these principles in our daily lives and improve ourselves. It would be meaningless if we only did the exercises but we did not cultivate our minds.”
When he heard about the CCP’s persecution in China, he said that practicing Falun Gong awakens people and they seek true freedom. But totalitarian rule often seeks control; therefore, it fears people gaining such freedom so it suppresses Falun Gong.
