(Clearwsidom.net) The annual St. Patrick's Day parade in March is a
traditional festival in many communities in US. This year, Falun Gong
practitioners in New York participated in the parades in Staten Island, New York
and White Plains, New York.

Procession |
Falun Gong practitioners' procession was very well organized with a huge
banner with the words "Falun Dafa" in the front, followed by a dragon
dance group, an exercise demo group, heavenly dancers group and waist drum
group. A banner reading "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" was
very eye-catching.
After the parade in White Plains, Falun Gong practitioners met a senior
gentleman and asked him as usual, "Do you know Falun Gong? Would you like a
flyer?" The gentleman nodded and pulled out a well-folded flyer.
Then the practitioners hurried up on their way back. After a while, the
gentleman caught up from behind and said gladly, "Look, I have your VCD now
besides your flyer." He got the VCD from a Western practitioner.
The gentleman was very pleased and said, "I am the mayor. The parade is
very good. Right? I welcome you to return again next year!"
Falun Gong practitioners have a wish to demonstrate the compassion and
overall goodness of Dafa practitioners and the grace of Dafa to the local
community. Spectators on both side of the procession greeted the practitioners
by waving hands.
