Clarifying the truth at the Hamilton Multicultural Festival

On the first day, an 80-year old Chinese lady came to the practitioners' booth. She said: "What you are doing is really a good deed. You should keep it up. My son is a high-ranking official in China. He is about to retire. He will come to Canada soon. I will let him come to talk to you." Several Chinese students asked for truth-clarifying materials and copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party from practitioners.

Practitioners set up a sign at their booth, which read "Please sign to stop the persecution of Falun Gong in China." Many people signed their names. An elderly Indian man said to practitioners that he had been watching them doing exercises for several days, and he admired them. He said: "You can remain peaceful in the noisy atmosphere, and I can sense your energy field." When practitioners told him about the persecution, he said: "Heaven knows and heaven doesn't allow this to happen." He encouraged practitioners: "You don't even have to say anything. Just by doing your exercises, the evils will be eliminated."

Practitioners had many materials at their booth, and kept playing Pudu and Jishi. An elderly gentleman was attracted to the music. He said he heard this peaceful music from far away with all kinds of noise. At the end of the festival, all the truth-clarifying materials were taken away. Dozens of people asked for more information about exercise sites.

A Westerner asked the practitioners what cultivation is. A practitioner shared his experiences with him. The second day, he came back. He said: "I thought about what you said. I found that I am a selfish person with a lot of bad habits. How can I improve myself?" The practitioners told him to practice Falun Gong and gave him some books. He expressed that he would read them and learn more about it.

Some Chinese people came to the practitioners' booth. On the last day, a Chinese tourist group of middle school students came to the festival. The guide tried to stop the practitioners from passing out materials to the students, and the students didn't dare to accept the materials. After the guide left, practitioners clarified the truth to the students. Some children asked questions and accepted the materials.
