Falun Dafa was introduced into the City of San Antonio in 1996. From then on, this beautiful and quiet city began to be bathed in Dafa's light of great mercy. Many Chinese and Westerners "come one after another, entering the Dao and obtaining the Fa."(Essentials for Further Advancement - Enlightenment). People from all walks of life have been giving strong support. The mayor of this city had issued four proclamations to honor Falun Dafa.

The event of celebrating "World Falun Dafa Day" in San Antonio brought more light upon this city.

On May 11th, the Alamo Plaza in downtown San Antonio had an entire new look. The pavilion in the south side of the plaza was circled with banners reading, "Falun Dafa", "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance", and "World Falun Dafa Day" etc. These banners were shining under the sun. In the middle of the plaza were posters showing the wide spread of Falun Dafa in the world, as well as exposing the evil persecution by Jiang's group of political rogues. On top of the posters were colorful balloons. The entire plaza was permeated with the atmosphere of a happy festival.

Many tourists were passing by the plaza. They made frequent stops at the posters. In front of the posters showing the spreading of Falun Dafa, people's eyes shone with delight and said, "It is so wonderful!" "I like it very much!" Some even followed the gestures on the posters to do the exercises. Passersby showed completely different attitude when they saw posters exposing the brutality of evil Jiang. They were astonished and their eyes showed their upset feelings, "Such vicious persecution! It is inconceivable", "The evil regime is so mean", "Falun Gong, don't give up, I support you".

Suddenly there came peals of laughter ringing like a bell from around the pavilion, and then it fell silent. The laughter was made by a group of school children playing in the plaza. When they saw Dafa practitioners doing the exercises, they began to follow along seriously. Their childish faces reflected their delight and good fortune of learning Dafa.

Coincidently, a group of tourists from Mainland China was visiting the Alamo. Several groups of Chinese people passed by the posters. It seemed that they no longer had the misunderstanding towards Dafa as they used to due to the misleading propaganda by Jiang's regime. Many of them even waved hands or smiled to practitioners. Practitioners therefore distributed some truth materials and clarified truth to them. They left with satisfaction.

At the time when all of the heavens and earth celebrate together, the immeasurable and countless lives in the cosmos are enjoying the Buddha's infinite grace since the beginning of heaven and earth, what a glory it is! Dafa practitioners will continue doing well what should be done to greet the mighty time when Fa rectifies the human world.
