(Minghui.org) Practitioners participated in the annual Clayton Festival in Melbourne, Australia, on March 22, 2026, where they introduced the Falun Dafa meditation practice.
Many people learned about the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa and expressed their support for practitioners as they work to counter the persecution of their faith by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Some said they would go to the local exercise site and learn the exercises. A teacher invited practitioners to teach her students the exercises. Many people said that Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are needed in today’s society.

Isoula Allen
Isoula Allen, a kindergarten teacher in Clayton, said she agreed with Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. She said, “We teach our pupils to be truthful, compassionate and tolerant. These are the basic principles of life and give children a good foundation to start their lives.” She invited practitioners to teach the Falun Dafa exercises to her kindergarten students.

Bygiame Benziger and his wife stopped by the Falun Dafa booth. “It’s very important to meditate,” he said. “I don’t think many people take the time out of their busy lives. The principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance are what’s lacking in our modern society. Everyone should live by these principles if he wants a peaceful life.”

Chiari, an accountant, and her friend Shari agreed with Falun Dafa’s principles and said they planned to learn the exercises at the practice site in Carnegie, which is close to their home. They were surprised to learn that the CCP persecutes people for doing a spiritual practice.
May, a Falun Dafa practitioner who helped run the booth at the festival, said she searched for a spiritual practice for a long time until she found Falun Dafa over ten years ago. “Falun Dafa is such a wonderful practice! I would like to share it with everyone. I participate in various activities to introduce Falun Dafa. I tell people how I was able to find the meaning of life and gain a better understanding of the importance of having compassion for others. Falun Dafa answered all my questions about life. I found peace and genuine happiness.”
