(Clearwisdom.net) On May 9, 2009, Falun Gong practitioners in North Carolina held activities in Pullen Park to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day. The colorful little pinwheels, jubilant balloons, pure lotus flowers, and practitioners' graceful practicing of the exercises attracted passersby to stop and watch.
Activities in Pullen Park celebrate World Falun Dafa Day.
May 13 is World Falun Dafa Day and also the birthday of Master Li. Falun Gong practitioners around the world held rallies, parades, and other events to celebrate the event and wish Master happy birthday. "We have benefited from practicing Falun Gong. We hope more people will learn Falun Gong and benefit from the practice," said a practitioner.
Practitioner named Augusto Andrade is 70 years old. He was a mechanical engineer before retirement. He has practiced Falun Gong for eleven years. After practicing, his health improved greatly. He had prostate illness, which disappeared three months after he practiced Falun Gong. His kidney stone was gone, also. His spine was twisted into an S-shape in an accident many years ago. While practicing the exercises, a sharp sound came from his spine, and his spine that had been crooked for forty years became straight. He shared the experience excitedly. He said, "When I was thirteen years old, my chin was kicked in a football play and became deformed. Now my chin has returned to normal."
Augusto was colorblind and nearsighted. On January 31, 2008, he suddenly felt he could not see well through his glasses when he was driving, "I took off my glasses. At that moment, I saw such bright colors. It really caught my attention. I was so delighted, since I could differentiate different colors. Soon I noticed a car in front and could see the license number. That was impossible for me before. You know, I had worn glasses for forty years."
