Written by Australia practitioners

(Clearwisdom Net) January 12, King George Square, the center of Brisbane City, the capital of Queensland, Australia was permeated with a happy atmosphere. At 7am, practitioners from everywhere busily pitched tents, arranged exhibit boards, set up booths

and prepared for the celebration of Brisbane City's "Falun Dafa Week". Everyone also seized this opportune moment to deliver the truth-clarification materials to the Chinese tourist groups and explained the true facts of the persecution of Falun Gong.

Note: VIPs of Brisbane political circles extended their greetings at the open ceremony

The open ceremony of "Falun Dafa --- Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance Week" and "The Path of Fa-rectification" photo exhibition was held in the City Hall. Chinese Australian artist Ms. Zhang Cuiying made a special trip from Sydney to participate the ceremony and held the painting exhibition. All the proceeds of her exhibition will go to charity for disaster relief. A short time after 10am, the ceremony of Brisbane's "Falun Dafa --- Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance Week" began to warm applause. Three VIPs from political circles who attended the opening ceremony came to the platform to express their congratulations, support and favorable wishes. One VIP from the police organization spoke saying, "I trust and support you because all your activities are about Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Another one stated, "as a district representative, giving support to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance will accelerate the peace and justice in his districts." So he hoped that we continued putting forth efforts to carry forward the peaceful values of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The third councilor mentioned that he could not understand what is happening in China. The principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is excellent. Why couldn't [the chinese government] accept it? He expressed his strong support for Falun Gong.

Ms. Zhang Cuiying also stepped up to the platform and talked about her journey in art, the experience of obtaining the Fa and Jiang's Political Gang's brutal persecution against her. She expressed her gratitude towards Australia Government for their rescue effort and presented her painting to the VIPs.

The host announced ten congratulation letters from government officials including the congressman, mayor and deputy mayor. Young practitioners from Brisbane recited Teacher's Hongyin and performed entertainment programs. The ceremony ended with a happy atmosphere.

In spite of the 40C degree weather, the practitioners outside the City Hall continued introducing Falun Dafa to passersby, delivering materials and clarifying the truth. The practitioners also demonstrated the Dafa exercises under the high temperature. The celebration continued into the night. In order to support Falun Gong practitioners' three day international protest against Dictator Jiang and his gang's slaughter of Dafa practitioners, during this "Falun Dafa Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Week", Brisbane practitioners conducted corresponding activities to raise people's awareness of the vicious persecution and support justice.

Sending forth righteous thoughts together

This is one of the series activities "Falun Dafa Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Week" carried out in every city and district in Queensland.
