(Clearwisdom.net) On June 5, 2004, as the sunshine dispersed the prolonged overcast and rainy weather, Boston Falun Gong practitioners participated in the Boston Asian Heritage Festival.

In the early morning, Boston practitioners came to Chinatown to set up a "Lotus Flower Tent." Inside the tent, two western practitioners made color paper banners, another practitioner decorated the booth inside and out with many paper lotus flowers, while other practitioners were busy setting up posters and inflating balloons. Soon, visitors lined up to get balloons, learn to fold paper lotus flowers, and learn Falun Gong exercises. Every visitor had a flyer in hand, and studied them with much interest. A middle-aged lady, who was learning how to fold paper lotus flowers, said, "I have read Master Li's poems, which are very good. Furthermore, when I saw the Falun emblem for the first time, I noticed that the Falun was really rotating... It is very wonderful."

While learning how to fold lotus flowers, people also learned the true facts about Falun Gong. Some asked for lotus flowers samples, so that they could make more at home; some held lotus flowers in their hands as if they were holding a treasure, and were so thrilled that they bowed or pressed their hands in front of their chest.

From the bustling crowd, people's eyes were filled with respect and admiration as they viewed the Falun Gong booth. In the near future, all kind-hearted people will come to understand the greatness of Falun Dafa and the magnificent journey of Falun Gong practitioners.
