Spreading the Grace of Dafa at the Boston Mid-Autumn Festival (Photos)

August 13, 2007 |   By a practitioner in Boston

(Clearwisdom.net) On August 5, 2007, Falun Gong practitioners participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival in Boston's Chinatown. The practitioners spread the grace of Falun Dafa and exposed Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s brutal persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. They set up a truth-clarification booth and Truth-Compassion-Forbearance art exhibition, taught folding paper lotus flowers, and demonstrated the five Falun Gong exercises.

During the celebration, some visitors asked practitioners where to buy the suits with the words "Falun Dafa" on them. A Chinese person was pleased and surprised upon seeing a practitioner wearing a yellow jacket with the words "Falun Dafa" and "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance". He called his friends, "Come look! It is not allowed to wear in China. Only here we can see."

People gratefully accepted the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. One gentleman said after hearing the explanation of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, "The CCP is so evil and must be disintegrated." A lady in her fifties joined the CCP's Young Pioneers when she was young. After reading the Nine Commentaries and listening to information about quitting the CCP, she knew that she needed to quit by making a statement so that she would not be implicated when Heaven destroys the CCP. She asked a practitioner, "Give me the website address for quitting the CCP, I'd like to quit the Young Pioneers."

Visitors who liked the paper lotus flowers gathered in front of the stand to listen to the truth-clarification and learn how to fold them. The practitioners attached a nice bookmark to each paper lotus. Children liked the paper lotus flowers very much.

The public admired practitioners' courage in exposing the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong and encouraged the practitioners to continue their efforts.
