(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Hiroshima were invited to take part in the Waterfront Concert in Peace Memorial Park on May 19, 2024. Many tourists and local residents were drawn to the Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong) exercise demonstration and music performances. Spectators told the practitioners they were moved by the compassionate atmosphere and Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.

Several tourists from other countries asked practitioners how to read the calligraphy. Practitioners taught them how to read and say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in Chinese. Other people also joined them to learn. People were moved by these great principles of Falun Dafa.

Mr. Sakai told practitioners that he had visited the Art of Zhen Shan Ren (Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance) exhibition and has taken part in a practitioners’ anti-persecution parade before. He happened to be passing through the park and stopped to watch the practitioners’ performance. He told other spectators that they shouldn’t talk while watching the performances and that they should listen and concentrate. He also learned how to say “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in Chinese.
