(Clearwisdom.net, August 18, 2003) For the second year in a
row, Falun Gong practitioners won first prize in the opening parade of
Edinburgh's world famous international festival. Pictures of practitioners also
appeared on the front page of several Scottish newspapers. Recently, festival
organizers wrote a letter to Falun Gong practitioners to express their gratitude
and to ask them to pick up the first prize trophy.
Below is the text of the letter.
