New Zealand: Practitioners Invited to Participate in the Victoria University Arts Festival

By Liu Yi, a Falun Dafa practitioner in New Zealand

(Clearwisdom.net) On July 6, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners from Wellington, New Zealand accepted the invitation from Victoria University to participate in the arts festival organized by the university. At the arts festival, practitioners set up a booth. Some practitioners demonstrated the exercises while others distributed materials that "clarified facts" and introduced Falun Gong to people who were interested.

The arts festival was held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Many students were passing by and going back and forth. Practitioners gave them truth-clarification materials with a smile. When they met Chinese students, they took the initiative to hand materials to them. As the arts festival was held around lunch time, in order to make it convenient for the people having lunch, a few Chinese practitioners took the initiative and made a few hundred dumplings the night before for the students.

There was a middle-aged Chinese woman who initially watched us demonstrate the Falun Gong exercises from far away. Later on, she came to us and took a copy of truth clarifying material from a practitioner. The practitioner also gave her a Chinese VCD. She expressed that she will take a good look when she got home.

A Taiwanese student was sitting nearby and kept watching us giving out the materials and clarifying facts about Falun Gong. When he left, he said to a practitioner, "Keep it up!"
