Falun Dafa adherents from across Canada attended a conference in Toronto on July 16 to hear speakers talking about their spiritual journeys, with some sharing about having to flee their homeland of China to avoid persecution for their beliefs.
Over 1,300 practitioners of Falun Dafa, a Chinese spiritual self-improvement practice that involves five meditative exercises and moral teachings based on the tenets of “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance,” gathered at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre for the annual all-day conference. The gathering was the first large-scale in-person conference since 2019 due to the pandemic.
