"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination" (Dafa is Indestructible)

Boston Practitioners Brave Snowstorm to Protest the Killings in China

In response to the recent deaths in China of 20 practitioners in 22 days, Boston area practitioners gathered in a small park next to the Chinatown Gate for two days of activities. On Saturday morning January 12, beginning at 10 a.m. practitioners spent the day sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth to all who passed by. Flyers were distributed all weekend encouraging ordinary people to make phone calls to China condemning those responsible for the torture and deaths of practitioners. It was a very good opportunity to let non-practitioners take part in our truth clarifying work. Throughout the day on Saturday, while some remained in Chinatown, many practitioners separated into small groups and walked around the city. They passed out materials and carried banners that read, "22 days, 20 Deaths" and " China, Stop the Mass Killing of Falun Gong Practitioners." Everyone returned to Chinatown for the 4, 5, and 6:00 p.m. sending forth righteous thoughts, ending with a candlelight vigil.

Sunday, January 13 began with a winter storm that brought a lot of snow to Boston. Our press conference was to be held at 12:30 p.m. Even though the snow fell very heavily at times, practitioners would not be turned away by the weather. Everyone arrived at 11:00 a.m. to begin setting up. A large tarp was stretched out in the park and the photo displays and banners were set up underneath it. Practitioners lit candles and sent forth righteous thoughts, transforming the cold, wet little park in the corner of Chinatown into a bright, magnificent site for our press conference. At the event, we read the press statement and recent reports of torture in English, Chinese, and Cantonese. As soon as we began to read the statement, a great wind came through the park; as we continued, the snow ended and many people passing by stopped and listened. Throughout the reading our voices echoed across the streets of Chinatown carrying the message that "The persecution must be stopped," and that "Falun Dafa is good."
