The festival was held at Bergamo Plaza. Falun Gong practitioners were the first and the last performers. They demonstrated the five sets exercises, which attracted many people.
Although the movements of Falun Gong are simple, they have immense energy. Many festival attendees were very sensitive and could feel the Falun Gong energy field. Some people could sense the peacefulness of the practitioners. After the demonstration, some people said that they wanted to learn Falun Gong and bought copies of Zhuan Falun.
More and more Westerners are getting interested in Chinese culture. The Divine Performing Arts performances helped to inspire people to learn about Chinese culture, and more and more Americans are learning Mandarin and qigong. The practitioners said that, as people learn more about Chinese culture, they will better understand the true treasure of its culture--Falun Dafa.
