Philadelphia: Dafa Exhibition at a Philadelphia Library

Last April, I met a local library director to discuss an exhibition of "The Journey of Falun Dafa" Photo Display. After reviewing the pictures, she told me that a large-scale photo display was not possible due to space constraints. Instead, she suggested showing the pictures in a display cabinet window. She also suggested a one-month display period during May in celebration of World Falun Dafa Day on May 13.

I carefully selected eight pictures: pictures of large group practice and an experience sharing conference that illustrated Falun Gong's popularity and how it has benefited millions. Pictures of group practice and experience sharing conferences abroad illustrate to people that Falun Gong practitioners live in over 50 countries. Ceremonies of Teacher receiving awards were displayed to exemplify the widespread support from various governments of many countries. I also selected a picture of children practitioners demonstrating that Falun Gong is suitable for all age groups. A single picture of the persecution illustrates the current situation in China. A picture of a local practice site tells people that Falun Gong practitioners are part of our community. Those eight pictures with appropriate captions, together with an introduction, provide an introduction to Falun Dafa.

When I brought the pictures to the library, the director had already prepared the display window. After we completed the arrangement, she took a close look and was deeply inspired, "So beautiful" she said, "I will write a media announcement telling more people." She kept saying how wonderful these pictures were and thanked me for introducing Falun Gong there.

At the end of May, I called the director. She told me, "It is great. The display is very popular." She wondered if she could keep the display for another month. She was very happy when her request was granted, "Fantastic, thanks so much. We will keep it for one more month. It's been so popular!"

At the end of June when the showed ended, I went and collected the pictures. On my way out, a person saw the pictures in my box and said, "Falun Gong."

Exhibitions like this require little effort, but the pictures were waiting patiently for people with pre-destined relationships with Dafa. They will be so fortunate to learn the truth of Dafa.
