New York: Practitioners Bring the Beauty of Falun Dafa to Hispanic Community in Brooklyn (Photos)
By Minghui/Clearwisdom reporter Cai Ju
(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on June 3, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners'
waist drum team displayed their elegant demeanor again in the "Flag"
Parade in the Hispanic community in Brooklyn, and were warmly welcomed by the
local residents. The purpose of the parade is to display that the US, a country that is
composed of immigrants, respects democracy and freedom of belief, and that each
ethnicity in the country is able to get along with others peacefully with mutual
respect. The waist drum team added vigor and vitality to the parade, and also won the
attention of the community. People in the street stopped to watch, and some took
pictures with their cell phones. Over 600 truth clarification materials in
Spanish were given out to people, bringing Falun Dafa's message to the
community. Those senior Chinese people from the Brooklyn Chinese Association in the
parade heard the song "Falun Dafa is Good" along the route. The song
was echoed all around Fifth Avenue. Some Chinese watched the waist drum team
with pleasant looks of surprise. One Chinese lady asked a practitioner,
"What is going on here?" A practitioner told them, "These are
Falun Gong practitioners taking part in a community parade. Please keep in mind
'Falun Dafa is Good'." The lady turned to her friends and said, "I
have told you, it is Falun Gong." One practitioner said that even though the weather was not pleasant, everyone
went out of their way to rush over to the community for the parade. Most of them
had to take a two hour subway ride, some even three hours. They had only one
hope, that they could bring the beauty of Falun Dafa to the people here.
