Australia: Sydney Falun Gong Practitioners Attend a Multicultural Festival in Ashfield (Photos)


By a practitioner from Sydney

(Clearwisdom.net) On October 8, 2006, practitioners from Sydney were invited to perform at the Ashfield Multicultural Festival. Their performance was welcomed by the local citizens.


Traditional Chinese dance


Demonstration of the exercises

The Multicultural Festival is an annual event in Ashfield. It offers an opportunity for different groups to display their own culture. The festival has an 11-year history. Falun Gong practitioners have participated for the last four years. This year, practitioners taught the local people the Falun Gong exercises, how to fold paper lotus flowers, and Chinese calligraphy. Since practitioners have continued to clarify the truth to the local government, many members of the government know the truth about Falun Gong and support it. The city government invited practitioners to perform at the festival. The Divine Land Marching Band played "Falun Dafa is Good." Young practitioners performed a traditional Chinese dance. Practitioners also demonstrated the exercises.

Many local people were interested in learning Falun Gong. They asked for detailed information. Many of them learned the truth of the persecution and signed their names to support Falun Gong. One senior lady said "Falun Dafa is good" after seeing the exercise demonstration. She said that she has backaches, and she wanted to learn the exercises.

There are many Chinese people living in Ashfield, and most of them are from Mainland China. Due to the lies perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party, many Chinese were hostile to Falun Gong practitioners years ago. Because of practitioners' consistent efforts to clarify the truth, more and more Chinese have started to accept the truth-clarifying materials, and more and more Chinese people have started to learn the truth of Falun Gong and the persecution against it. With the help of every practitioner, the activity was a great success.
