(Clearwisdom.net) On September 25, 2005, the "Photography Exhibit of Falun Dafa Practitioners Validating the Fa" was held for the first time at the Mission Bay in the city of Auckland. A constant stream of visitors was deeply moved by the Falun Dafa practitioners' peaceful and rational opposition to the persecution, which was manifested by the photographs. Visitors were also touched by the spirit of orthodox culture exhibited by Dafa practitioners' art performances that were documented by the photos.

The photography exhibit consisted of three sections: In section one, "Journey of cultivation," the splendid scene showing practitioners' health and moral improvements through practicing cultivation and grand group practices exhibited the beauty of Falun Dafa and its worldwide spread. The second section focused on the peaceful resistance to the persecution. The photos exhibited the Falun Dafa practitioners' steadfast faith in their belief and their efforts in persistently clarifying the truth under the Chinese communist regime's cruel persecution. The third section recorded the precious moments when Minghui School students and teachers traveled the streets to clarify the truth to people. The young practitioners' innocent smiles brought people hope for the future.

A visitor standing in front of the section with the theme "Peaceful Resistance to the Persecution" said with indignation, "The Chinese Communist Party is too bad! What good is persecuting you?" From each visitor's expression, one could tell that they felt the beauty and sacredness of Falun Dafa through appreciating the art.

Practitioners who participated in preparing this exhibit included mothers of young children, professors from universities, a Master's degree holder in economics and construction workers. They used their spare time to closely work together. Through mutual respect and cooperation, their special skills were maximally brought into play. They overcame all kinds of difficulties and held a successful event.

Practitioners expressed that in order to help more people learn about the cultivators' journey and the facts about Falun Dafa, they will hold the exhibit in a variety of places.
