(Minghui.org) Over 400 Falun Dafa practitioners gathered in the plaza in front of San Francisco's City Hall on June 6, 2015, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. They arranged themselves and swaths of yellow cloth to represent the front cover of the Chinese edition of the book.
Why the book cover? “Master Li Hongzhi has written down all the Falun Dafa teachings in Zhuan Falun. We have all benefited so much from the book and from cultivation,” said Huang Yun, president of the Falun Dafa Association in San Francisco. “We would like to share it with the entire world and let everyone know that Falun Dafa has been embraced wide and far.”
Over 400 Falun Dafa practitioners depict the cover of Zhuan Falun, the main Falun Dafa book, in front of City Hall in San Francisco on June 6, 2015.
The Chinese characters at the top say “Li Hongzhi” (the name of the founder of Falun Dafa) and at the center, “Zhuan Falun” (the title of the book, which means, literally, “rotating the law wheel”).
Practitioners demonstrate the fifth exercise, a meditation.

Event coordinator Ms. Zhang Hong said that preparations for the event started a month prior. “Today's event was awe-inspiring, and the energy field was palpable.
“I carry Zhuan Falun with me everywhere I go. Whether it is how to remove attachments or how to overcome tribulations, I can always find answers in this book. It is a heavenly book. The more we read it, the more we gain from it,” she added. “That's why we want to share it with more people around the world.”
This was the first time Ms. Tao had ever participated in such an event with so many people gathering to form characters and patterns. “I'm very exited. This is solemn and magnificent. We participate wholeheartedly to tell people that Falun Dafa is great, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great.”
“Zhuan Falun is in the heart of each and every Falun Dafa practitioner,” she added.
