Tshung Chang, a representative from Western Australia of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, said that he knows some Falun Gong practitioners and that they are healthy and have happy families and do their jobs well. He said that the founder of Falun Dafa has made great contributions and othat Falun Dafa benefits society.
“Such activities are very meaningful. People can come to learn what Falun Gong is. Many people are brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Through such activities, they can learn the truth and discern what is true and what is false,” he said.
He said that Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance can encourage and support today’s youth. “Nowadays, young people especially have all kinds of problems. The principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are very meaningful for them. These principles can encourage them and support them and help families stay harmonious, and make people healthy both mentally and physically,” he said.
I Like the Principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance—It’s Where We Can Find Peace
Roshini Vadla
Roshini Vadla told a practitioner, “I like the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance—it’s where we can find peace.
“It is the first time I have heard about this. It’s not like we could just come by and leave. We have to experience these things, we have to get to know these things, and Falun Dafa practitioners are putting their hearts out there, making people understand the importance of this day.
“The principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance—everyone needs to know about this. Not just when we are stressed out or not just when we are feeling low,” she said.
“When we meditate, we will find the peace we are always looking for. When we find peace, then we can be more of a support to someone else, so I like the principles. That’s what is so good about it. I love it. It’s not just a one man or one woman thing. Every human needs to be part of It. It has my heart.
“We always need to stick to our roots. They were there since birth, and we need to stick to them. When we grow, we can go anywhere but our roots are with us. Even when I go forward, when I look back, these things [the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance] will remind me of my home.
“I loved the performances. I’ve never seen such beautiful performances. It felt like I was in the performance. It was so natural, I was feeling it. The rhythm and everything—it just got me,” she said.

Jesse agreed with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance: “Of course, they [the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance] would be good for society, totally. If the whole world practiced it, it would be a much better place.”
Akshay Kumar said, “We were just passing by and saw them meditating over here when a lady came up and talked to us about what Falun Dafa is, so it helped us to get into Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I think everybody needs Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance in their life. Whatever you want to do in your life, I think you are going to need some sort of peace. There are many different things you can do, so this is one of them.”
Karan Chahal echoed the same sentiments. He said “It looks beautiful. The people are relaxed, and it’s good to see. We all need Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.”
