Ukraine: Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Invited to Attend a Local Newspaper’s Celebration Parade

By practitioners from Ukraine

In mid-September 2002, Falun Dafa practitioners from Ukraine were invited to attend a local newspaper office’s anniversary celebrations. The celebration ceremony started with a parade that crossed the entire city and ended up at the city central park. Although the Chinese Embassy put pressure on all of the Ukrainian media, through one year of of learning about Dafa and meeting the practitioners, reporters from this newspaper office highly appraised Dafa practitioners. Therefore, they always uphold the just principles of press freedom to positively and objectively report the facts about Falun Gong. Practitioners were very happy to join their celebration activities.

There was an amazing and very touching scene when the parade was about to set off. In a dress rehearsal hall of a theatre, a crowd of children shouted in chorus: “Falun Dafa is good!” The children’s voices touched all people on the spot. After the parade, according to the activity program, practitioners also shared the physical and mental benefits that they have received through practising Dafa and performed the exercises as a group. During that moment, the noisy crowds suddenly became quiet and people were immersed in a field of serenity and peacefulness; even the continuous drizzle stopped. Our truth-clarifying display boards were also placed at the front of the stage.
