Group exercises at tourist site
Practitioners went to a tourist site as usual to introduce people to Falun Dafa. As part of the celebration, they put up banners on cars and at the group practice site, conveying messages such as, “World Falun Dafa Day” “Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day” “May 13 World Falun Day”, and “Falun Dafa Is Good”. Practitioners' banners presented the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa and expressed their gratitude to Master Li for introducing Falun Dafa to the world.
As practitioners were having group exercises, many Chinese tourists arrived in buses. Practitioners greeted them by demonstrating the exercises as well as handing out information on Falun Dafa. Some tourists thanked practitioners and quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. After listening to the radio broadcasts, taking photos, and accepting materials, the tourists got back on the bus and left.
The celebration continued in the afternoon. Practitioners held banners reading, “May 13 Falun Dafa Day” “Falun Dafa Is Good”, and “The World Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance”. They waved to passing by vehicles and pedestrians, as well as distributed paper lotus flowers and flyers in English to them. People waved back, smiled, or honked their horns to show their support. After receiving a paper lotus flower, a bicycle rider was very happy and asked for another one for his wife.
A reporter from the local newspaper, Marianas Variety, interviewed practitioners at the event. Practitioners said Falun Dafa Day was celebrated by practitioners annually throughout the world. They wanted to raise awareness about Falun Dafa and to expose the brutal persecution and forced live organ harvesting that is currently occurring in China.
Yang Xiaofei is a practitioner who recently began to practice Falun Dafa in Saipan. He talked about his improvement since then, as well as his efforts to tell others about Falun Dafa. He hopes more people will learn the truth so that the brutal persecution can end soon.
