(Clearwisdom.net) The "Petals of Peace" is a global event
initiated last October in Australia. Its purpose is to encourage children all
over the world to be closely connected and to promote tolerance and mutual
understandings, as well as to improve creativity. The event was inspired by the
experience of Fadu, a 3-year-old Chinese-Australian girl. When she was only
six-months old, her father was tortured to death in China because of his
practice of Falun Gong. Since then, she has traveled with her mother to more
than 30 countries in the world to call attention to the persecution encountered
by Falun Gong practitioners in China.
Since the "Petals of Peace" events were launched throughout the
world, little Fadu, who is attending the United Nations Commission on Human
Rights meeting in Geneva, Switzerland has continuously received lotus flower
post cards sent by children in Australia. On the post cards, children expressed
their best wishes to little Fadu who lost her father in the suppression of Falun
Gong. Little Fadu would like to thank all of the children.
