(Clearwisdom.net, September 2, 2003) On the 17th of August, UK Falun Gong practitioners
were invited to Brighton, a well-known tourist spot, to take part in the Brighton Art Festival. It
was the peak of the holiday season and the town was full of people. The Art Festival was held in a square close to the sea front. By noon, nearly one thousand people
were on the square. Parents took their kids to enjoy the sunshine on the lawn and wait for the
performance to begin. Around 3:30 in the afternoon, it was time for the Dafa practitioners' performance. The
practitioners first hung two banners on the stage. One read "The World needs Truth, Compassion,
and Forbearance" and the other read "Falun Dafa is Good". After a brief introduction by a
western practitioner, the practitioners began their first performance, which was a traditional
Chinese Fan Dance. Later, they demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises on the stage while a western
practitioner introduced Falun Gong and told people about the persecution in China and the lawsuit
that has been filed against Jiang Zemin in the United States Federal Court. The practitioners ended
the performance with another Fan Dance to the music of "Falun Dafa is Good". Throughout the afternoon, nearly a thousand people watched the practitioners' performance. As the
practitioners handed out leaflets, many people asked where they could learn the exercises. Two days after the Art Festival, the organizer congratulated the practitioners on their
performance. In the meantime, the practitioners were invited to take part in another Art Festival.
No doubt this is another great opportunity to let more people know about Falun Dafa, the practice
based on Truthfulness, Kindness and Tolerance, and the brutal persecution of practitioners in China.
