By practitioners from Edmonton, Canada

(Clearwisdom.net) On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the 4.25 peaceful appeal, Falun Gong practitioners in Edmonton attended a two-day local health expo, which was held in North Gate Center. Our booth was decorated with colorful balloons and beautiful posters documenting the worldwide spread of Falun Dafa. Video programs of Falun Dafa introduction and Teacher's demonstration of the exercises were continuously played. Accompanied with beautiful music, some practitioners kept practicing the exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts. The peaceful and compassionate energy field as well as practitioners' serene expression, elegant and smooth exercises drew much attention from many passersby. Practitioners introduced the beauty of Dafa to people who stopped and watched the demonstration. They also explained the relationship between cultivation practice and health, and that of morality and health. Practitioners also exposed Jiang regime's inhuman persecution of Falun Gong.

The health expo organizers also provided us with a place to do an exercise demo. The performance area was located at the confluence of all entrances on the first floor in the shopping center. People coming and going as well as those who took elevators could all easily watch our exercise demonstration. While some practitioners performed the exercises, a western practitioner used a microphone to briefly introduce Falun Gong exercises and answer questions, which made the demonstration more effective. Many audience members actively asked for truth-clarifying flyers and requested more information about the practice site and schedule. Some learned the exercises on the spot. The scene was quite touching.

Practitioners harmoniously cooperated with each other and experienced the power of being an integral entity. In particular, some western practitioners who recently obtained the Fa gained deeper understanding of the Fa-rectification and offering salvation to sentient beings through this activity. They actively asked the expo host about information of the next event and expressed their hope of attending this kind of activity to let more people have the chance to learn about Dafa.
