By a Practitioner in Japan

(Clearwisdom.net) On September 18 and 19, 2004, the Tokyo Asian City Festival 2004 was held in Hibiya Park, Chiyoda-Ku. On the square across from the small music hall, there were booths representing Asian countries and selling food, clothing and handicrafts. A lady running three restaurants in Tokyo had a food booth. In front of her booth, besides table and chairs, she set up a shelf with Falun Gong truth-clarification materials, including literature in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean, CDs in Chinese and Japanese, videos, music and color bookmark with introduction of five-set exercises in words and pictures. A TV and CD player played videos clarifying the facts about the staged Tiananmen "self-immolation" incident, the worldwide lawsuits to bring the perpetrators of the persecution to justice, and a few songs performed by practitioners.

The truth-clarification activity was different from previous ones in which almost all practitioners distributed literature. Now, not only did passersby accept the literature, but many people selected it from the shelf without hesitation or worry. Some Japanese people said that the recent registration of the Falun Dafa Association as a non-profit organization was good and that they felt confident in learning more. Some asked about practice sites near their homes. There were also many Chinese people passing-by and watching the TV showing truth-clarification programs.

The two-day Asian City Festival concluded. The booth owner was pleased and thanked the practitioners who came to support the event, "I am very happy that so many people have come to learn the truth. The effect is good through the convenient way of truth-clarification. I am encouraged to do better to let more people know the grace of Dafa."
