Introduced Dafa in New York's "Battery Park"
New Jersey Practitioners
On September 5, more than one thousand practitioners
from around the world gathered in Battery Park, New York, and held a one-day activity to
introduce Dafa and clarify the truth of Dafa to the public. Battery Park is one of the busiest parks in New
York. Large banners in both English and Chinese were set up in the central part of the
park. A dozen photo boards, which describe the spreading of Falun Dafa and the severe
persecution in China, were put around the practice site. Practitioners practiced along
with the gentle music the entire time. The scene was very magnificent, peaceful, and
serene. Many tourists were attracted by the scene and
stopped to get more information. Several dozens of practitioners handed out introductory
material to tourists and explained to them the situation in China. Attracted by the
serenity of the scene, some people even stopped and started to learn the movements. There was another group of practitioners who
practiced the exercises and introduced Dafa near the ferryboat to the Statue of Liberty.
From time to time, there were groups of Chinese tourists who passed by. Practitioners
handed them information about the truth of Falun Dafa, which they did not have access to
and answered questions for which they couldnt find answers in China. In the afternoon, with a small number of
practitioners left in Battery Park, the majority of the practitioners divided into groups
and dispersed to different parts of the city to continue introducing Dafa to the public. Thousands of various kinds of Dafa materials were
distributed to the public. A Switzerland practitioner expressed, "Im very happy
to be here and participate in these week-long activities to introduce Dafa to the public.
Im happy to do my share to strive for the freedom to practice for practitioners in
Mainland China." There were also unidentified people mixed among
practitioners. Practitioners advised these people with a compassionate heart that they are
welcome to learn more about Falun Dafa, however, they should not be used by the evil
forces and make mistakes that they would regret forever. The activities at Battery Park were concluded
successfully. This was another large-scale activity in New York following the Experience
Sharing Conference on September 4. Practitioners will continue activities to introduce
Dafa to the public and deepen peoples understanding of the truth of Dafa. á Reported by New Jersey Practitioners September 5, 2000
