United States: Truth Clarification at Teaching Symposium

On January 30, 2004, a teaching symposium in Cochise County, "Teaching with Inspiration, Encouragement and Creation," was held at Buena High School in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Local Falun Gong practitioners were joined by some from Tucson to set up a booth to introduce Falun Gong.

Falun Gong practitioners were given a booth a hallway intersection near the meeting room as soon as they arrived in the morning. It was a place that all attendants had to pass. And many of them had to pass right in front of the booth between symposium sessions.

During symposium breaks, practitioners talked with people, distributed truth-clarification materials and told people about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. A presenter at the symposium looked around different booths after her presentation. Someone told her to check out the Falun Gong booth, because that was where most people had gone.

Many teachers accepted our truth-clarification materials with appreciation. Some said they would use these materials to tell their students about Falun Dafa and the persecution. Some said they had heard about the persecution before and had told their students about it.

It was a very successful and effective activity to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa.
