Practitioners offered free teaching of the Falun Dafa exercises at the Ecological Living Centre on Sunday, March 10.

During the event, Mesut Kösedağ, the Republican People’s Party (CHP) candidate for Mayor of Kadıköy, passed by. The practitioners invited him to the hall and gave him Falun Dafa information. He said he liked the origami lotus flower with a card attached that said, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” He said he would take it to his wife.

İlke Tuhta, an assistant director and biology graduate, shared her thoughts with practitioners after trying the exercises.

“I happened upon Falun Dafa while I was studying. I researched it and wanted to experience it for myself. As I did the exercises I felt my nerves and muscles relax. I felt good and stress-free. Thank you very much,” she said.

İlke Tuhta said practicing Falun Dafa made her feel refreshed.
