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!" Posting date: 7/23/2005 |
