Native Taiwanese Fair Ends with Everyone Acclaiming, "Falun Dafa is Good" (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) On September 5, the first ever "Fall Festival of
Native Taiwanese in Sanxia Region" was held at a local park in Sanxia town,
Taipei County. In the early morning, a lot of native Taiwanese came to celebrate
their festival. Though it rained off and on, the atmosphere was quite relaxing
and full of joy. Besides the performances, the hosting institution also arranged many booths
to display the traditional food and culture of native Taiwanese. Among them,
however, there was a very special booth by non-native Taiwanese, the Falun Dafa
booth. Practitioners displayed many free materials and played a series of Falun
Gong truth-clarifying movies. The movies ranged from personal testimonies of
practitioners who regained health from practicing Falun Gong, to positive
changes Falun Dafa brought to school students, and also the truth of the staged
Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident. From the movie show, people learned
that Falun Dafa is a good cultivation method for the mind and body, and the
persecution is wrong. Many people asked for materials, and one lady wanted to
learn the exercises at the site right away. At noon, the hosting institution catered delicious food for all of the
festival participants and visitors. After the lunch break, afternoon programs
started and it was soon our turn to perform. Practitioners from Banqiao, Tucheng
and Shulin demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises. As soon as
practitioners came to the performance site, it started to rain. The host
encouraged us: "Native Taiwanese perform in the rain, Falun Gong friends
should also be able to perform in rain." However, it rained harder and harder and eventually became a downpour. The
host then asked the practitioners whether or not we wanted to stop and wait till
it got better. The practitioners told her that it didn't matter. With the
melodious exercise music sounding in the heavy rain, practitioners gracefully
demonstrated the exercises. The most touching scene was young practitioners in
the first row who were demonstrating the fifth sitting meditation. Despite the
heavy rain, they sat on the wet ground in the double-lotus position. Because of practitioners' outstanding performance in the heavy rain, the
native Taiwanese at the site were deeply touched and they continually applauded.
At the end, led by the host, everyone at the festival acclaimed, "Falun
Dafa is Good!" Posting date: 9/20/2004
