On 13th May, Sydney practitioners celebrated World Falun Dafa Day--Cultural Fair at Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour, a popular tourist site in Sydney, and a place visited by Master Li.

Many activities were organised to celebrate this festive day, including cultural performances, activity stalls, exercise demonstration and teaching, and free BBQ to the public. Many people visited the activity stalls, such as Falun Dafa Information, Science, Medicine & Others (displaying info from Pure Insight), Photo Exhibition, Video Exhibition and Art & Culture, which exhibited Zhang Cui Yin's paintings, calligraphy teaching etc. A lot of people came to sit down on the grass and enjoy the cultural performances, exercise demonstration, kids singing and reciting "HongYin." Many guests visited and two (Dr. Lambert from the Interreligious Federation and Mr. Spry from Amnesty International) spoke to us on this special event. We received many congratulatory letters from government officials and also from passers-by.

A passer-by emailed us, "I saw your festival at Darling Harbour on Sunday... I liked the moment when a very young child got up on stage and said that mothers are the best in the world. You have a good group of people...congratulations."

A government official visited, amazed by the kind-hearted practitioners he saw and asked "Why are you being persecuted in China?"
