Falun Gong practitioners hung an eye-catching banner with the words "Falun Dafa is Great" in front of their booth. Many people who passed the booth read the words aloud. A student riding a bike couldn't help shouting it aloud, "Falun Dafa is great! Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance are great!" Many people stopped by to ask for more information about Falun Gong and how to learn it.

A visitor from Shandong Province of mainland China took a lot of truth clarification materials from the booth. He said, "I've come abroad to see what is happening in the world."

Policemen of the university happily accepted truth clarification materials and expressed their support for Falun Gong. Many high school students were also interested in Falun Gong and expressed their support. They said with a smile, "Our teacher also practices Falun Gong."

Falun Gong practitioners practiced the five sets of exercises next to the booth. Many people were fascinated with the exercises and peaceful music. It was just as the saying goes, 'The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities."

Following the tradition of composing words with flowers along Coconut Tree Avenue, Falun Gong practitioners composed "Falun Dafa is Great" along a high-traffic section of the road. Many people stopped and read aloud, "Falun Dafa is Great."

At noon on March 13, Falun Gong practitioners performed five pieces of music written themselves on a stage. Before the performance, one practitioner not only introduced how Falun Gong had changes people's view of life and made people more tolerant and kind, but also told the audience that it was fortunate for Taiwanese could learn the truth about Falun Gong without the influence of the deceitful propaganda from mainland China. He hoped people would tell others that Falun Dafa is great and that the persecution of Falun Gong by Jiang's group is wrong.

As the music started, the audience quieted down. Immersed in the peaceful music, everyone listened closely to what Falun Gong practitioners were singing and what they said between songs.

Falun Gong practitioners involved in this activity feel it was a great success. They were very encouraged by people's sincere smiles after learning the truth about Falun Gong.
