Taiwan: Introducing Falun Dafa and Clarifying the Truth at Taichung's Senior Citizen Assistance Exhibition (Photos)

By Dafa practitioners in Taizhong

(Clearwisdom.net) From October 30 to November 3, 2003, the five-day Taichung Senior Citizen Assistance Exhibition was held at the World Trade Center Exhibition Hall in Taichung. The exhibition, which is jointly sponsored by Economy Daily and Taichung World Trade Center, aims to improve services and care for aged people, and make Taiwan a nation that emphasizes aged people's happiness, respect and safety. Falun Gong practitioners participated in this exhibition, promoting the goodness of Falun Dafa and clarifying the truth.

When applying to the sponsor organization, we clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to all of the staff we met and expressed that we wished to contribute to the activities. The sponsor was moved by the practitioners' voluntary contributions, and gave us much help and many conveniences. The sponsor provided us with a good stage, and arranged for Falun Dafa exercise demonstrations twice a day. At the same time, they published the brief introduction of Falun Dafa's five sets of exercises in their introductory flyer, and made ads to promote it. During the activity, the Economy Daily also published the introduction of Falun Dafa and a story about the beauty of the exercises.

Practitioners cooperated quite well during the activity, and there were many touching stories. Many practitioners silently took turns taking care of our booth. Every practitioner took the initiative to take charge of different things. Our aim was the same, that is, to cherish every opportunity to promote Dafa and clarify the truth.

About 20 Dafa practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises on the stage with a three-minute film showing the exercise demonstration produced by Australian practitioners. Films such as "Falun Dafa is wide spread around the world," and "Let's create a bright future" were also shown on the large screen. The audience watched attentively and appreciated the goodness of Falun Dafa. Many asked where the nearest practice sites were, how to practice cultivation and other questions.

During the exhibition, we also held a concert. Performances included flute performance, female solo and chorus. The audience watched and listened attentively. A university professor and Chinese medicine doctor made a special lecture, introducing Falun Dafa cultivation from the perspectives of medicine and science. His lecture won a warm response from the audience.

Many people came up to our booth to learn about Falun Dafa, and many of them wanted to join the cultivation practice. Many kind-hearted people asked if Lin Hsiao-kai, who was illegally detained in China, had returned to Taiwan safely. We thanked them and told them that with the help of people from all walks of life in Taiwan, the practitioner has been released.
