By a practitioner from Long Island
(Clearwisdom.net) On March 16, 2008, Falun Gong practitioners took part
for the first time in St. Patrick's Day parades in Glen Cove and Center
Moriches, two small towns on Long Island, New York. Falun Gong contingent Each parade covered about a mile. Practitioners demonstrated the exercises
and played the waist drums, which the local people applauded. Thousands of
people watched each parade, and they were very happy to accept Falun Gong flyers
and paper lotus flowers. This was the first time for many local people to hear about Falun Gong. They
were very interested. The organizer of the parade was pleased to have the Falun
Gong group in the parade and thanked them for participating. On the other side of the world, Chinese security agencies have been
conducting mass arrests of Falun Gong practitioners throughout China in recent
months as authorities step up efforts to "stamp out" the practice in
advance of the Olympic Games. Practitioners are doing their best to let more
people learn the truth and recognize the true nature of the Chinese regime.
