(Clearwisdom.net) A Falun Gong practitioner from Washington, DC took this precious photograph at the 2005 Western U.S. International Fa conference.

This is a very precious photograph because it captures a poignant moment when Teacher's great compassion was displayed in his affection towards the small children that presented flower bouquets.

Words cannot express the profound, rich meanings of this photograph.

Teacher's smile, the way Teacher leaned forward and gently stroked a child's head, the innocent children with the flower bouquets in their hands, and the rich colors of the flower arrangement on the stage...

Tears were blurring my vision as I typed these words.

I felt as if I was one of those children that were looking up at Teacher. I felt the number of children before Teacher kept increasing and all of us had become children before Teacher. Finally, all the sentient beings became children and were looking up at Teacher.

All I can say is "thank you" to the fellow practitioner who took this photograph.
