(Clearwisdom.net) The Fourteenth Vancouver Health Expo was held in the Exhibit Hall of the Canadian Hotel on October 16 and 17, 2004. Falun Gong practitioners brought the good news of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" to people looking for good health.

Introduction of Falun Gong at the Falun Gong booth

Exercise demonstration

Falun Gong practitioners in Vancouver have been invited to every Health Expo since 1998. As in the past, their booth provided information on the practice and gave demonstrations of the Falun Gong exercises. One practitioner had made copies of a recent health survey. An American practitioner narrated the exercise demonstration.

Visitors Show Great Enthusiasm and Learn Falun Gong "on the Spot"

During the two-day expo, people continued to come to the booth to ask where they could learn the exercises. The practitioners demonstrated the exercises four times a day to great interest from the audience. Some people stayed to watch the next demo, while others wanted to learn the exercises right away. The most frequently asked question was, "Why did the Chinese government (Jiang's regime) suppress such a great exercise?" Falun Gong practitioners gave them truth-clarification CD's and told them about the persecution of Falun Gong.

"I Can Feel Your Energy Field"

A man who worked at the next booth quietly watched the Falun Gong practitioners for two days. He came over before the end of the expo and said, "I am from the Philippines. I have practiced Qigong before. I could feel your energy field, especially when you did the exercises in a group. The energy was really strong. Could you please give me a flyer? I will study it carefully."

Tell Them the True Story of Falun Gong

On the second day of the expo, two women, who looked as if they could be students just arrived from China, passed the Falun Gong booth. One of them looked shocked when she saw the words "Falun Gong." A practitioner went over and kindly told them, "Falun Gong is freely practiced in more than sixty countries in the world. China is the only country which doesn't allow its people to practice Falun Gong. It is completely legal here. Please take a good look at this brochure. It tells the true story of Falun Gong. The 'self-immolation on Tiananmen Square' is a plot of Jiang's regime." He went on to tell them how Jiang's regime had fabricated lies to frame Falun Gong and that he hoped they would learn the true story. The two women nodded their heads and left with truth-clarification materials.
