(Minghui.org) Practitioners participated in events throughout September and October 2026 to tell people about Falun Dafa.

From conferences attended by thousands of people to smaller gatherings where they demonstrated and taught the exercises, practitioners introduced Falun Dafa to the public. Many who tried the exercises said they felt a sense of “harmony” and “light” that radiated from the practitioners.

Practitioners introduced Falun Dafa during an event hosted by the Center for Alternative Therapies and Health Guidance (CETAOS) at the Laguna Unit of the Antonio Narro Autonomous Agrarian University in Torreón, Mexico.

Practitioners participated for the first time in the 28th International Gathering of Medicinal Plants, Alternative Therapies and Health Guidance, organized by the center from October 16 to 18.

The event, which was open to the general public, brought together 5,000 people from Torreón and visitors from the states of Oaxaca, Morelos, Nayarit, Puebla, and Durango.

For Torreón residents, this gathering serves as a community landmark that has promoted the exchange of traditional and scientific knowledge for 28 consecutive years.

University Rector Dr. Alberto Flores Olivas, Laguna Unit Director Edgardo Cervantes Álvarez, and María Isabel Blanco, head of the Center for Alternative Therapies and Health Guidance, welcomed the practitioners alongside other local and international exhibitors during the opening ceremony.

Practitioners performed the waist drums for the members of the presidium, who praised their participation.

“This is the first time in my life that I have seen harmony and service to humanity. They have the gift of serving without expecting anything in return,” said Patricia Carreón Cruz.

During the three-day event, practitioners demonstrated the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises during four sessions each day. People who came to learn the exercises listened as practitioners spoke about the benefits Falun Dafa brought them.

Some people told the practitioners how valuable the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are for their families and society as a whole.

Presenting Exercises Monthly at a University Campus

Since September 2025, practitioners have held monthly presentations to introduce Falun Dafa to students and teachers at the Benemérita Autonomous University of Puebla (BUAP) community in the city of Puebla.

Founded in 1578, BUAP is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Latin America and attracts numerous visitors.

Every month, students, faculty, and local residents learn the exercises and meditate with Falun Dafa practitioners in Puebla near the walkway of the university’s cultural complex. Many of them say the practitioners and the exercises are a source of calm and “light” in their busy schedules.

This arrangement came about through an invitation to the practitioners from Xavier Ramirez, who works at the university and oversees events at the walkway of the University Cultural Complex. He invited practitioners to present their exercises there once a month and share them with the students.

Ramírez believes the practice greatly benefits people’s physical and mental well-being, as he sees high levels of stress and anxiety in the university community. Since then, practitioners have taught the exercises there and held an origami lotus flower workshop on campus as an spiritually uplifting activity for the students.

“An extraordinary energy can be felt at the Cultural Complex when you do the exercises here,” Ramirez told the practitioners.

Passerby: Practitioners “Radiated Light”

During the event on October 21, a man did all five exercises. Afterward, he told practitioners that he felt enlightened and filled with peace.

“When I saw you, I said it must be something good because you radiated light,” he said.

At the September 26 presentation, a grandfather walking with his grandson told a practitioner that he would like to practice Falun Dafa because he seeks peace and believes the practice will help him. He said he approved of the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance on which Falun Dafa is based, and he was interested in practicing.

The father of a university student told practitioners that he was glad to see these kinds of presentations and suggested his son practice Falun Dafa.

Two students told a practitioner that they felt very stressed because of exams. After they meditated, they said they felt very happy.

Puebla Woman Condemns the Persecution

As a part of introducing Falun Dafa to the community, the practitioners also told people about the persecution their faith faces in China at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Many of the local residents, like Ivonne Apanco, expressed sorrow over the persecution.

“It is a shame that in this world there is someone who believes that the freedom to practice or do something that elevates our values deserves to be punished.”

Apanco said the situation in China should be exactly the opposite, since Falun Dafa’s values should be taught consistently to create a better world.

Elizabeth praised Falun Dafa and said that after she did the exercises, she felt good, very calm, and full of energy.

About Falun Dafa she said, “It helps make the world more peaceful and brings more light within you,” she said.

She also said she hopes that the persecution in China ends soon, because it represents something negative in the world.

Other young people who received information about the practice said they would research Falun Dafa online.
