(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of September 13, Falun Dafa practitioners from St. Louis
and Columbia participated in the Kirkwood Green Tree Festival parade. Two years ago, shortly after
"9.11", practitioners participated for the first time in this festival.
This year, the practitioners made a lot of red lotus flowers to decorate the float and made it
more beautiful. The female practitioners in white led the possession with color fans in their hands.
The yellow banner was in the middle and the float followed behind the banner.
The weather was cloudy but not raining. A lot of residents sat along the streets watching the
parade. During the two-mile-long parade, four female practitioners performed fan dances. The
audience gave them warm praise, "They are so beautiful!" The audience also applauded the
float. Two Indian and three westerner practitioners highlighted how Dafa crosses ethnic and national
boundaries. When the procession passed the stage, the host introduced Falun Dafa as an ancient
traditional Chinese cultivation system that has spread to over 60 countries in the world. Millions
of people benefited from it but it was brutally persecuted in China. The practitioners distributing
flyers had to refill their backpacks often because the newsletters went out so fast.
The Green Tree Festival helped many people see the beauty of Falun Dafa and have better awareness
of the persecution.
