(Clearwisdom.net) The "News Journal" Walking Race, which is the most popular mass event in Singapore, began at 7:30 a.m. on May 19. As many as 70,000 people attended the event. The walking race started from the National Stadium and took over 3 hours for a journey of 10 kilometers. The scene was quite spectacular.

Usually, this kind of event took place in August, around the Singapore National Day. Now it is arranged in May, and this year and it is absolutely not a coincidence. Many practitioners realized that this was an excellent Hongfa opportunity. So wearing T-shirts with Dafa words or corresponding designs, over 40 practitioners attended this event.

On the wide road, the walking procession extended a few kilometers. With several dozens of practitioners only walking in the procession, the effect was really limited. To let more people understand Dafa in a positive way, about a dozen practitioners left the walking procession. They went to practice the Falun Gong exercises at a small park near where the procession was to pass. While doing the exercises, some practitioners continuously sent forth righteous thoughts. The seemingly simple activity achieved very good effects. Moved by Dafa, almost all walking race attendees, no matter male or female, old or young, one after another turned around to look at the exercises. Some were pleasantly surprised, some were amazed, some were astonished, some stopped to watch, some slowed down, some tried to imitate, some whispered, and some kindly smiled. There were also some who did not show any interest. Unfortunately though, there were also some who made impertinent remarks. During the whole 3-hour process, people continuously passed by as if troops being reviewed passed by the platform. Almost everyone turned around to look at practitioners doing the exercises. Thousands of people obtained the opportunity to view the elegance of Falun Gong exercises and were impressed. Such a wonderful Hongfa effect can only be achieved without pursuit. Many beings obtained the chance to be saved because of this. Practitioners deeply felt the mighty power of Dafa and the Teacher's boundless compassion.
