United States: Introducing Falun Gong in Monterey, California

On the weekend of September the 11th, 2004, two Falun Gong practitioners from the California Bay Area carried out the first major event to introduce Falun Gong in Monterey of California, at one of the city's busy intersections. Having read Teacher's [respectfully referring to the founder of Falun Gong] recent article we have realised that we need to do better in letting people know about Falun Gong.

Two practitioners set up posters and leaflets, and took turns performing the exercises and talking about Falun Gong to those who passed by or took an intrest in the event. One woman took a moment to walk over to one of the practitioners and said with a sincere heart, "Thank you for doing this." Another young boy just sat right down on his own and joined one of the practitioners during the fifth exercise, and he sat in the correct mediation position!
