Eureka is a small town by the ocean, five hours away from San Francisco, population 40,000. Six Western Falun Gong practitioners live in the town. More than thirty practitioners drove from the Bay Area to Eureka to support this activity. They brought the exercise demonstration and the beautiful dance performance.

It was the first large-scale Fa-introduction activity in the town. Falun Gong practitioners decorated the theater with banners saying "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The theater looked very peaceful and cheerful with red and yellow flowers, beautiful music and lighting.

The program started with an introduction to Falun Dafa. Young practitioners sang songs and gave a performance of the Lotus Dance. Some practitioners shared their cultivation experiences. Beautiful traditional Chinese dances and exercise demonstrations were performed alternately. The audience was fascinated with the peaceful atmosphere. More than half of the audience learned the Falun Gong exercises on the spot.

Practitioners also distributed flyers on the street. The uncomplicated and kind people in the town happily received the Falun Gong introductory materials.

In his new article, "Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People," Teacher says,

This is the last stage of Fa-rectification. We should seize the opportunity to save sentient beings and send "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" to everyone's heart.
