(Minghui.org) On World Falun Dafa Day on May 13, 2025, practitioners in São Paulo, Brazil gathered in the central zone to celebrate this special day by displaying banners, telling people about Falun Dafa, and distributing flyers. They wanted to tell people how wonderful Falun Dafa and expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) ongoing persecution.

Practitioners display banners and raise awareness in São Paulo’s central zone.

Practitioners held their event in Rua 25 de Março, a popular shopping area. It is a well-known commercial wholesale center in Brazil, where many Chinese import and sell goods. The whole neighborhood is busy from morning to night.

When they saw the banners and heard the peaceful and melodious music, some people stopped and talked to practitioners, and others took the flyers about Falun Dafa. The Chinese business people were able to see a contrast: Falun Dafa is banned and persecuted in China, but can be openly practiced abroad.

Some Chinese passersby held up their phones to take photos, and some took copies of Minghui Weekly to learn more. Practitioners coordinated: some handed out flyers at intersections; some held banners; some went into shopping malls to hand out flyers and Minghui Weekly to Chinese business people; and some talked to Chinese people about the facts and encouraged them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. There were also warmhearted Brazilians who came to help hold banners, and Brazilian police who stood beside the banners to maintain order.

In the afternoon, practitioners went to the famous district Liberdade, also known as Asiatown and the world’s largest Japantown. It is like a microcosm of Asia, attracting people from all over the world to come for entertainment and tourism. The practitioners’ presence helped many people learn about Falun Dafa.

Practitioners spent a joyous day celebrating World Falun Dafa Day. They felt happy to pass on the truth, joy, and happiness to more people!
