(Minghui.org) Many new Falun Dafa practitioners will be involved in the promotional activities for Shen Yun this time around, so our local coordinator asked a Japanese practitioner from Tokyo to teach us how to promote Shen Yun effectively. We learned a lot during the two seminars he arranged, and it also helped to improve our xinxing.

In the past when I visited offices to promote Shen Yun, I dressed formally and smiled, because I wanted to give them a lot of flyers. I just kept up a facade and distributed the flyers without much thought.

I didn't know much about Shen Yun or its background, and I hadn't read the materials that introduced Shen Yun. Therefore, I didn't really reach out to people when I tried to tell them about it.

Some practitioners in the past did not pay much attention to their appearance and could have left an unfavorable impression on the people they met. Ticket sales reflected our inadequacies and were low.

After we attended these seminars, we knew that we should always maintain a professional appearance and look clean and elegant when we promote Shen Yun. We understood that we could achieve better results if we were straightforward and informative.

I created a file on my smart phone and named it “Shen Yun Encyclopedia.” I took every opportunity to collect more information on the subject and learn it. I included advertising messages that the practitioner from Tokyo had prepared for us.

Most importantly, I realized that I should put more effort into improving my xinxing.

My hope is to help Master save more sentient beings by guiding more people to Shen Yun.

I want to thank the practitioner from Tokyo who took time out of his busy schedule to teach us so much during the two seminars.
