(Clearwisdom.net) On Feb. 6, 2005, a New Year's Celebration event sponsored by Vietnamese Americans was held in Reliant Arena in Houston, a popular activity center with a ten-thousand-people capacity. It was the largest New Year celebration of Asian Americans in Houston.
Falun Gong practitioners' introduction booth attracted a lot of attention among all varieties of programs, including traditional music, lion dance, sports and booths of different groups.

The Falun Gong booth displayed peacefulness in the busy and noisy environment. A "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" banner in English, Chinese and Vietnamese looked refreshing and attracted a lot of attention. Display boards showed both pictures and illustrations. Truth-clarification flyers and VCDs in Vietnamese, Chinese and English were available at the booth. Many people took this opportunity to learn more about Falun Gong and make inquiries about where to learn Falun Gong.
A Falun Gong practitioner said, "I am Vietnamese. I know about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. We are stepping forward to tell Chinese Vietnamese about it because we are also Falun Gong practitioners."
Some people wanted to learn Falun Gong right away. They continued to come and to take materials from the booth. A Falun Gong practitioner said, "It is a great thing they will get from this celebration if they learn about Falun Dafa -- Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."
