(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners participated in the 26th annual Asian Culture Festival held in Miami, Florida on March 5 and 6, 2016. They introduced Falun Gong to visitors, and were invited to demonstrate the exercises twice on stage during the festival.
A large banner announced “Falun Gong, Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance” at the Falun Gong booth. Falun Gong books and informational materials in Chinese, English, and Spanish languages were available for the public to browse and take with them. Passersby stopped to learn about the practice and the persecution in China. An exercise demonstration continued alongside the display tables, attracting many who watched and asked for more information. Several took the opportunity to learn the exercises for themselves on the spot.
