Name of Religious Site: |
The site I visited was an apartment owned by two Falun Dafa practitioners. While the building is not a temple with a specific name, the apartment is a warm place open for use to Falun Dafa practitioners. Furthermore, it is a place to obtain materials (flyers, books, videos etc.) about the practice. |

1099 Clark Ave., Montreal, Quebec (in Chinatown) |

Dan emphasized that Falun Dafa is called the "great formless way." Therefore there is no membership. He estimated there are 50-60 dedicated practitioners in the Montreal area and likely upwards of 100 occasional practitioners. (Falun Dafa does not compile name lists). |
