Falun Gong Practitioners from Yale University Demonstrate Dafa Exercises in the Connecticut Chinese Lantern-Festival Art Performance (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net)
On March 2, 2002, the 2002 Connecticut Chinese Lantern-Festival [Note: the
15th of the first lunar month] Art Performance was held at Yale
University, located in New Haven Connecticut. This was the biggest
Chinese art performance in Connecticut. Over 500 local Chinese watched the
performance and all seats were filled. Practitioners of the Yale University
Falun Dafa Club demonstrated the Dafa exercises while the songs De Du and Pudu
were played. Projected on a big screen in the background, slides
of Heavenly Beauties, the lyrics of De Du and "the world needs
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" were shown to warm audience applause.
The program list also noted that, "Falun Gong has received over 700
awards worldwide. The Governor of Connecticut commended Falun Gong twice, and
the Mayor of New Haven personally issued an award as well." Before the
exercise demonstration, the host also introduced the awards that were issued to
Falun Gong in 1992 and 1993 in China. After the performance, many Chinese
received the Dafa materials. Practitioners used the intermission and the banquet
after the performance to talk to Chinese attendees they hadn't met before. The
effect was very good.
