By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Portland, Oregon
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners in Oregon were invited to
participate in the annual Beaverton Celebration Parade on September 15, 2007.
This year happened to be the fiftieth anniversary of Beaverton, so the parade
was even more exciting. The theme of the parade was "Everything Is
Golden." The gold color used in the parade is the same color used in Falun
Gong symbols and banners. It seems to imply the wide spread of Falun Dafa in the
world, and the harmony and beauty it brings. Falun Gong practitioners participate in the Beaverton
Celebration Parade Every Falun Gong practitioner in the waist drum troupe was in high spirits,
and the drum beats were exciting. Many spectators happily danced to the beat.
The exercise demonstration showed the graceful Falun Gong exercise movements.
The profound meaning behind the exercises and their compassionate and beautiful
style spread the good news of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance to the parade
spectators. The cultivation practice of Falun Gong, under persecution by the
Chinese Communist Party for the past eight years, has no fear, depression or
hatred. Throughout the parade, the practitioners showcased the peace and
compassion of Falun Dafa. Parade spectators were excited to see the Falun Gong procession and greeted
them with warm applause. Some onlookers followed along with the exercise
movements. Others expressed gratitude with their hands pressed in front of their
chests. Many people couldn't stop taking pictures of the procession. People
asked for Falun Gong fliers and expressed their best wishes. Falun Gong practitioners received an Honorable Mention for their entry in the
parade.
