Every weekend, the St. Louis Botanical Garden in the state of Missouri attracts a big crowd of visitors from hundreds of miles away. On May 12 weekend, visitors got the opportunity to see a new sight in the garden: practitioners from Missouri celebrating 2002 World Falun Dafa Day. Their beautiful music and elegant movements attracted many visitors.


Practitioners passed out Dafa flyers to visitors, including many Chinese people. Many visitors showed great interest in Falun Gong. Especially for the Chinese people it was a good opportunity for them to learn the truth of Falun Gong, as many of them walked closer and talked to practitioners. Usually it was not allowed to pass out flyers in the garden but this time the garden made an exception.

Reporters from the Saint Louis News, World Daily and Epochtimes reported the activities and interviewed two practitioners who were persecuted in China. The reporters expressed that who is righteous is apparent, and that sooner or later the situation will be rectified.
