Thank you everybody and now who's ready for the next act? Did you enjoy the reptiles? Of course you did. All right so it's Falun Dafa. So this group is dedicated to sharing the beauty of traditional Chinese culture through elegant classical and ethnic dances that promote kindness, harmony and positive community spirit. Hello yeah come on up you guys. Yeah they're practitioners of Falun Dafa and that's a traditional Chinese mind-body practice based on principles of truthlessness, compassion and forbearance. Values that shine through their calm presence and graceful movements. So here they are. Let's welcome them to the stage with a bit of a clapping and cheering. I'll go, I'll get off. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the exercise demonstration of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa is an ancient Chinese meditation practice that benefits both mind and body. Rooted in the Buddhist tradition, the practice is grounded in three core principles, truthfulness, compassion and tolerance. The practice combines qigong meditative exercises and a set of moral teachings. Practitioners strive to live by these virtues in their daily life to become better, kinder and more honest people. After practicing, a lot of people said they have found a sense of calm, purpose and peace that they've been looking for their entire life. Introduced in 1992, Falun Dafa has now spread to over 60 countries with 100 million people practicing around the world. The practice is also free of charge. There are no forms to be filled, no membership, no fees or donations. What you're seeing on the stage now is a demonstration of the five gentle exercises of Falun Dafa. While the movements on the surface seems to be very gentle and easy to learn, they're actually very powerful in energizing the physical body and unblocking the energy channels. Some people even say that they feel more relaxed after doing the exercises than after a good night's sleep. As you can see from left to right on the stage, the exercises are demonstrated in the order of one, two, three and four, with the fifth exercise, a sitting meditation demonstrated at the front. Let me briefly introduce the exercise to you. The first is called Buddha Stretching of Thousand Arms, which helps to open up all energy channels. The second exercise, Falun Standing Stance, is a still standing exercise composed of four wheel-holding positions, which increase a person's wisdom and opens one's body completely. The third exercise, Penetrating the Cosmic Extreme, aims to mix and merge the universe's energy with the energy inside oneself to purify the body. On the right side is the fourth exercise, which enables the human's body energy to circulate over large areas. And last but not least, on the front is the fifth exercise, which is a serene sitting meditation that strengthens one's divine powers. As you watch, you might feel the peaceful energy that they bring. It's a wonderful way to start your day with peace and vitality. We hope that watching today's demonstration gives you a glimpse of the serenity and strength that this practice can bring to your life. If you feel inspired, we warmly welcome you to join us at practice sites across Sydney or our local practice sites in Eastwood Park near the library in the morning.
