(Clearwisdom.net) The 30th Seattle Chinatown/International District Summer Festival was held on July 9 and 10, 2005 in Seattle's Chinatown. Falun Gong practitioners were again invited to hold a stage performance and an exhibition booth.

Exercise demonstration

The festival was held in a small park in Chinatown. More than 20 Asian organizations gave stage performances. Practitioners from Washington State performed again this year on the "Dragon Stage." A half-hour program attracted a large audience of both Chinese and Western people.

Three new practitioners playing a piece they composed

During the exercise demonstration, two practitioners introduced Falun Gong to the audience in both English and Cantonese. Three new practitioners from the San Juan Islands played a piece for violin and guitar composed by them. The music described the beautiful realm that practitioners reach after letting go attachments. A performance of the dance, Flower Maiden and Lotus Flower was warmly welcomed again. Some audience members pointed out that the spiritual and artistic level of the practitioners' performance was really noticeable and admirable.

Many visitors came to see the truth-clarification posters in the practitioners' booth. Some Chinese parents explained the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China to their young children. One Chinese person from Guangzhou had a one-and-a-half-hour conversation with a practitioner. He said at the end, "I was misled by the Chinese Communist Party. Today after seeing the posters and hearing your explanation, I am finally clear."

A King County councilmember came to the booth to get to know Falun Gong, talked with practitioners for quite a while and asked for truth-clarification literature to give to other officials.

In this year's activity, many Asian people came to the booth to ask for truth-clarification materials.
