After reading the message on a large banner, one spectator exclaimed, “Yes, it’s so true! The world needs Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance!”

Another lady said that she looked forward to seeing the elegant Falun Gong float every year. Many people asked practitioners in traditional costumes if they could have their pictures taken with them.

She said, “You’ve brought a beautiful message of Truth, Compassionm and Forbearance! I like treating everyone with compassion. I’m so happy that we bring our best wishes to this parade!”
