Japan: Practitioners Introduce Falun Dafa in Gifu Prefecture

On October 22nd, 2006, practitioners travelled to Gifu Prefecture, an area where there are no Falun Gong practitioners, to introduce Falun Gong. They demonstrated the exercises and held a press conference and a parade in a park.

The parade

Demonstration of exercises

Practitioners practised group exercises in the park. Since it was a Sunday, many families saw them and the gentle music and movements attracted many tourists. Two Japanese ladies learned the exercises on the spot.

Practitioners introduced the principles of Dafa to the public, and how it has spread to 80 countries around the world.

During the parade, practitioners held banners which read, "Falun Dafa is good"; "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance"; "China (the CCP), Stop the Persecution against Falun Gong!" and "Falun Dafa Spreads in the World". Many people were attracted to the parade, and took the truth-clarifying materials.

One gentleman said: "I have read Falun Gong materials when I was in China. I really don’t understand why the CCP persecutes such a good exercise." Two other people said: "We know about Falun Gong, and understand practitioners. Keep it up." One gentleman followed the parade all the way to the end. He said: "Your T-shirts are really pretty, and you did a good job of playing the waist drum. Next time, please also bring the dancing ladies."

Practitioners also exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s crime of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. The activity lasted all day.
