The month-long (February 1-28, 2002) "Journey of Falun Dafa" Photo Exhibition has ended in Moscow, Russia.
The exhibition was held in the Artist Association's Exhibition Hall. Over 130 photos were displayed. The exhibition hall was open to the public daily, from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., including holidays. Besides Moscow residents, those who attended were also from Kazakstan, Ukraine, and other Russian cities, such as New Russia City. Many people came to understand that Falun Dafa is good, and that Falun Dafa is promoted worldwide.
During the exhibition, a video lecture of Master's Fa-teaching in Jinan was played every other day. The exercise instruction video was played every day according to a schedule. From 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. every other day, there were group readings of Zhuan Falun, sending forth righteous thoughts, group practice and free teaching. Many predestined people wanted to learn the exercises after viewing the exhibition. There were at least 3 to 5 newcomers learning Falun Gong every day. During the last two weeks, more than 30 people participated in the group Fa study each time. Over 50 people participated in the group practice. They were from different walks of life, including senior citizens over 70 years old, university students, and teenage high-school students. There were three staff workers in the hall who assisted and guarded the exhibition. One week after the exhibition started, they either participated in the group practice or explained the photos to visitors, just like Dafa practitioners would do. They said that the whole hall was serene.
Press conferences were held at both the opening and closing ceremonies. News reporters and authorities on Chinese culture attended the conferences.
During the exhibition, over 1,300 truth-clarifying VCDs and different literature were prepared. The practitioners distributed them to Chinese people in a few large grocery stores, universities, streets and train stations that local Chinese people would pass by or frequently visit. Most Chinese people in Moscow have seen the VCD and Dafa materials. Many of them sent the VCD and truth-clarifying flyers to their friends.
The month long exhibition ended successfully. The staff workers of the Artist Association Exhibition Hall told the practitioners before saying good-bye, "We hope that the next photo exhibition of the 'Journey of Falun Dafa' will be held here again.í
