(Minghui.org) May 13, 2015 marks the 16th World Falun Dafa Day and the 64th birthday of Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa. Practitioners from Houston held an event at Hermann Park to celebrate this holiday.

Group exercises

Practitioners wish Master Li Hongzhi a happy birthday.

Practitioners hung up banners that read “Falun Dafa is good,” “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” and “Happy Birthday, Master.” Dressed in yellow exercise outfits, practitioners demonstrated the Dafa exercises, which attracted many passersby. Some of them asked for in-depth information of how to practice Falun Dafa.

After the exercises, several practitioners shared their experiences of cultivating Falun Dafa, and how they benefited from it.

Several young practitioners from the Minghui School also attended the celebration. Ms. Chen, the director of the local Minghui School introduced the major activities at school. The older children read Zhuan Falun, and the younger ones learn how to read Chinese characters by reading Master Li's poems in Hong Yin. All the students do the exercises together, while older ones often help the teachers to correct the younger ones' movements.

At the end of the celebration, practitioners took a photo together and wished Master Li Hongzhi a happy birthday.
