North Carolina: Learning the Truth of the Persecution at the Eno River Festival (Photos) By a practitioner from North Carolina
(Clearwisdom.net) During the 3-day Independence Day weekend, the 26th
Annual Eno River Festival was held in Eno West Point Park in Durham City, NC.
Despite the hot temperatures, each day there were over twenty thousand visitors
from the local area and out of state. Eno River is the main fresh water supply
for the Triangle area of North Carolina. The festival is held to help protect
the natural environment and water quality of the Eno River, as well as the
culture and history along the river. Falun Gong was invited to the festival again this year. The practitioners
prepared many truth-clarification materials and display boards. The focus this
year was to rescue Falun Gong orphans in China. Falun Gong has participated in the event for several years. Many visitors
said they had seen Falun Gong before and had already heard about the persecution
in China. One tall westerner walked directly to the Falun Gong booth and asked,
"How is the situation (in China)? Is the persecution still going on?"
A practitioner told him that the persecution has not ended yet and asked him to
help rescue the children of Falun Gong practitioners in China. The man took the
postcard and sincerely thanked the practitioner. One older lady wanted to donate
ten dollars for rescuing the Falun Gong orphans. A practitioner thanked her for
the support and told her to donate the money to the Rescue Falun Gong Orphan
Foundation. More people quietly viewed the 30 foot-long span of display boards, reading
one after another. A practitioner explained the pictures and answered questions.
A gentleman who recently returned from a trip to China and a couple who adopted
a Chinese child listened to the introductions and signed their names on the
postcard. Other visitors were interested in learning the Falun Gong exercises. After three days of clarifying the truth, more Americans had a deep and
intuitive understanding of the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Posting date: 7/9/2005
