(Clearwisdom.net) On October 12, 2002, Falun Dafa practitioners from Austria held a parade and an information day with the theme of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance --- Source of Peace" at the City of Graz. Although it rained, the event was not affected at all. On the streets, there were often groups of people coming over to learn the facts about Falun Gong from practitioners. Some Chinese people were surprised to see that there were practitioners here as well and they happily accepted the truth-clarifying materials. Some even wanted to learn how to start practicing cultivation. During that day, several thousand people directly learned about Dafa and the persecution of Dafa practitioners in China through reading the truth-clarifying materials or chatting with practitioners. Many people expressed their support to Dafa practitioners.
