Vancouver: Sidelights of Falun Dafa Festival Parade (Photos)
By Lin Hai
(Clearwisdom.net) In May, the continuous drizzle in Vancouver brought chills to the
people, and they longed for warm sunshine. A friend from Vancouver told me that Vancouver is good in
every way except for its lack of sunshine. On May 18, the originally cloudy sky suddenly became clear. More than 1,000 people-- Falun Gong
practitioners of different ages and backgrounds from different places in the world--brought this
most beautiful city endless warmth and light. While enjoying the sunshine that suddenly broke out,
Vancouver's people were touched by this group. Practitioners paraded along streets and avenues. People who unexpectedly witnessed them stopped
their steps and watched. People's hearts were moved by the beauty and sincerity, and their kindness
was awakened. Red lanterns imprinted with the words, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance"
expressed Falun Dafa practitioners' inner realms. The hand-made lotus flowers represented their
sincerity. The natural and graceful Tang Dynasty costumes displayed their beautiful demeanor. "Who are they?" "Falun Gong!" "Falun Gong? Is this Falun Gong?"
"So beautiful! Falun Gong, truly remarkable!" "Can I have a flyer?" People who
were touched, very politely asked for answers to questions they had in their hearts. There have been
too many lies regarding Falun Gong and the people have been deceived for too long. The parade ended. People clustered around banners imprinted with words, "Falun Dafa is
good", "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance", and "Greetings Master!" and
flags imprinted with Falun emblems to take group photos. The splendid sunshine spread to every
corner of beautiful Vancouver. A Chinese girl beside me watched with tears on her face. She
whispered to herself, "So wonderful!.... So wonderful!..." Yes, how wonderful it is!
