(Minghui.org) Last Saturday, the Divine Land Marching Band captivated the crowd at the 19th Carnival of Cultures in Bielefeld, Germany. As part of a colorful international parade, the band led a group of Falun Gong practitioners on June 6, 2015.
“Falun Dafa represents the best values of Chinese culture”
"The Carnival of Cultures is meant to introduce different cultures, and Falun Dafa is the essence of the Chinese culture. It represents the best values of Chinese culture, such as Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, which is known in Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. We show the beauty of Dafa through the marching band and the lotus flower float,” said Nina, a 41-year-old teacher, when asked about the group's contribution to the Carnival.
When asked how the marching band's music related to Falun Dafa, Nina explained, "The marching band was formed because Falun Dafa is persecuted in China by the Chinese Communist Party. We are committed to stopping the persecution. To introduce this Chinese culture to the people here...this is a good medium, because music is a universal language.”
