Front practitioners demonstrate Falun Gong exercises and
rear practitioners perform during celebrations for World Falun Dafa Day |
(Clearwisdom.net May 18, 2003) Falun Gong practitioners in Boston
celebrated the Fourth World Falun Dafa Day last weekend. The State Assembly and
the Governor issued proclamations of "Falun Dafa Day."
The celebrations began with a lion dance. Three Western practitioners shared
their experiences and recited poems. Former Harvard Medical College employee Dr.
Haiying He and several practitioners performed a chorus. He said that through
the song he expressed how he misses his mother and other family members in
China.
In addition to the performances, there were also a calligraphy stall, a photo
exhibition exposing how Dafa practitioners are being tortured in China, video
tapes and delicate watercolors by Falun Gong practitioner Rob Counts. Each of
the paintings tells a different practitioner's story.
Falun Gong practitioners said that since 2000, practitioners worldwide have
designated May 13 as World Falun Dafa Day to commemorate the first public
lecture of Falun Gong's founder, Master Li Hongzhi, on May 13, 1992.
