By a practitioner in Indonesia
In Solo, Indonesia, there is a textile factory with about 200 workers who have
been practicing Falun Gong since 2001. They exercise together and read Falun Gong
book every workday in the morning. According to one of the practitioners there,
before practicing Falun Gong, many workers took medicines like candy, often taking
medicines 2 or 3 times a day. After 3 months of practicing Falun Gong, the workers
had much fewer illnesses. One indicator of this is that the medicine stock in
the factory is lasting longer then ever before. There is a new atmosphere throughout
the factory. The environment has become cleaner. Some of the employees have even
stopped smoking. The whole factory's productivity has improved significantly.

One
factory worker said, “I formerly had a hot temper. After practicing Falun Gong,
I always remember the principles of Truth, Compassion, Forbearance in my everyday
work and life. My inner heart has become peaceful and enriched. My family is surprised
at my change.”
Some employees have experienced significant changes. One worker
said, “I had a kidney stone. After two years of practicing Falun Gong, I no longer
had to take medicine. My doctor was very surprised because he did not find the
stone anymore. I can even drive by myself at night.”
The employees learned
about Falun Gong for the first time from the director of the factory, who watched
TV reports about the April 25, 1999 appeal outside Zhongnanhai in Beijing (1).
He then went to a local bookstore to find Falun Gong book and related information.
After studying, he decided to practice Falun Gong. Later he introduced Falun Gong
to all the employees, after proving to himself that Falun Gong is good.
Some
workers who practiced the Falun Gong exercise and realized the benefits of the
practice taught the exercise to their families at the villages they came from.
Therefore, in many villages in Solo, groups of Falun Gong exercise sites were
started up. In some practice sites, dozens of people practice the Falun Gong exercises
together each night. Their ages range from several years old to the elderly. After
practicing the exercises, they often share cultivation experiences with each other.
They have all benefited from the exercise, and Falun Gong is very popular in this
region.
(1) April 25, 1999: on this date ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners
peacefully gathered outside the Zhongnanhai compound (China's central government
building) and successfully appealed for the release of forty-five practitioners
who had been illegally arrested in Tianjin City.
