Practitioner shares his experience of cultivating Falun Gong.

Many city, state, and federal government officials and congressmen sent congratulatory letters. At the rally, practitioners shared their experiences of how they benefited from practicing Falun Gong.

Practitioners performed songs, which attracted many Chinese people. Some of them even sang along. They also taught tourists how to make paper lotus flowers.

Mr. Wu, a local citizen, told practitioners that he witnessed the persecution in China. "The moral standard in China is really low. It is one of the bad consequences of persecuting Falun Gong," he said "But Falun Gong will not disappear in China." Mr. Wu accepted the truth-clarifying materials and expressed an interest in learning Falun Gong.

Ms. Lin, a local citizen, learned the truth about Falun Gong. She wanted to donate some money, but the practitioners told her that as they don't accept money, she could donate to a human rights organization aimed at stopping the persecution of Falun Gong.

At the end of the activities, practitioners performed songs and wished Master Li Hongzhi a Happy Birthday to conclude the day.
