(Clearwisdom.net) On October 2, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners from Bali, Jakarta and Surabaya participated in the Bali Festival Parade.
In the parade, Falun Gong practitioners' contingent was led by practitioners holding banners reading "Falun Dafa is Great," and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Following them in succession were a practitioner holding banner with the Falun Emblem, waist drum players, practitioners holding triangular flags, Lotus Flower Dancers, Fan Dancers, and Dragon dancers. Behind them were practitioners holding a banner reading "Falun Gong's peaceful parade," a large model of the book Zhuan Falun, and little practitioners' exercise demonstration on the float. Following the float was a practitioner holding a banner reading "Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong in China," and a live anti-torture exhibit on a decorated truck exposing the persecution of Falun Gong in China. The last one in the procession was a practitioner holding a banner reading "Falun Dafa rectifies the heart."
Falun Gong practitioners' contingent was the longest and most beautiful in the parade, and became the main focus of the parade. Countless spectators and tourists were attracted by practitioners' wonderful performance, and were shocked by the torture methods Jiang's group uses to force Falun Gong practitioners in China to renounce their belief in the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance."
When Falun Gong practitioners reached the destination, vice-chairman of the parade organizing committee Made Supatra Karang shook hands with practitioners and expressed his appreciation and congratulations.
