United States: Falun Gong Practitioners Participate in Chinese New Year Celebration in San Diego, California

Falun Gong practitioners from San Diego, California participated in the local Chinese New Year celebration held by the Vietnamese community.

Demonstrating the Falun Gong exercises

Practitioners set up a booth at the celebration, which was held in Kearny Mesa, and hung up a large banner reading, “The World Need Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance”.

Practitioners also demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises on the stage, while a Western practitioner briefly introduced Falun Gong to the audience. Many people were interested in learning the practice and some asked for contact information for local exercise sites.

A staff member from a community college invited the practitioners to a health fair on their campus in April, to teach the students and faculty the exercises.
