By a Dutch practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) On April 21, 2007, with the theme of "Joyful
Celebration," the 60th "Great Flower Vehicle Parade" was held in
Holland. The Divine Land Marching Band, a band consisting of European Falun Gong
practitioners, marched at the front of the parade, leading the way with a piece
of music specially composed by Falun Gong practitioners. Forty vehicles behind
them in the parade proceeded slowly. The Divine Land Marching Band was popular in the parade Holland is world famous for its flowers, with the national flower being the
tulip. The highest quality tulips and hyacinths are produced in a little town
called Lisse. Every April during the spring, the large and beautiful Keukenhof
Flower Show and Lisse Flower Parade are held. The flower show can be viewed for
up to three months, but the flower vehicle parade lasts only one day. The Falun Gong procession was divided into three parts: The Divine Land
Marching Band, Celestial Maiden dancers and a troupe of waist-drummers. All were
applauded warmly by an appreciative audience. The band at the front of the
parade was highly praised: "There is indeed something of spirit in the
music, which can make you feel spiritually sublime." "Great, extremely good!" Chinese people working in Chinese
restaurants along the parade route put their thumbs up, saying, "Your music
is very good!" Source: http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200704/39145.html |
