(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners in central Japan participated in the Suigen Sakura Festival in Toyota-City, Aichi Province. They demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises on stage and explained the benefits of the cultivation practice. It was the fourth year for them to participate in this activity.

Practitioners unfolded banners, played music, and did group exercises. They also demonstrated the exercises on a stage and distributed Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. A lady asked where she could learn the exercises as soon as the exercise demo was over and was given a contact phone number.

There is a Chinese community in Toyota-City. Practitioners met many people from China at the festival. Some of them studied the truth-clarification display carefully. Others asked questions about Falun Gong. Several signed their names calling for an end to the persecution.
