Hongfa in Balboa Park, San Diego (I)
Starting late September 2001, San Diego practitioners come to Balboa Park to
hold Hongfa activities every Saturday. In addition to the photo exhibition and
distributing Hongfa flyers, they also do a 15-minute exercise demonstration
every 15 minutes. The Hongfa activities have attracted many visitors from local
area, other states and people from all over the world. Here are just some of the
stories happened during their Hongfa activities.
A one-year-old girl has a predestined relationship with
Truth-Compassion-Tolerance
It was an early morning with a few visitors. Practitioners were busy in
setting up the tent and table and suddenly they noticed a western gentleman
videotaping us. A practitioner turned around and found out that he was aiming
the camera at a very lovely girl who kneeled down right in front of the
Zhen-Shan-Ren banner that had just been set up. The little girl raised her face
and looked at the banner attentively, seemingly thinking. A practitioner was
deeply moved by the poetic serene scene. After having looked at the girl for
two minutes, she just remembered to grab a camera. However, the girl's attention
was disrupted by the conversation of another practitioner and she turned her
face to other direction (see photos 4 and 5). The girl's father also felt curious, saying, "she seems to have
something to do with Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. She was stuck to it once she
got here." The girl was just one and a half years old. "Never before
has she been attracted to anything in this way." The practitioners,
however, knew the real reason.
Three year-old learns meditation
There were several weekends in which after practitioners had finished a set
of the exercises; a three-year-old would come to our exhibition with her mother.
According to her mom, the girl was very active and was always running about
except when sleeping. However, each time when she came to learn meditation, she
kept absolutely still. What a miracle! Before, she was always playing for a long
time in the playground, but since she found out about us, she always dragged her
mom to us.
Five elderly ladies learn exercises
Five elderly ladies were mesmerized by our demonstration and started to learn
Dafa exercises. We thought they were friends or from a tourist group. Actually
they were strangers to each other. One had just returned from Hawaii to
accompany her mother and "met this golden opportunity."
