(Clearwisdom.net) In January 2006, the photo exhibition, "Falun Dafa Practitioners Validating the Fa" was held at a Maori ancestral house, Paruaharanui Marae in Rotorua. It was the first time for the exhibition to be held for the Maori people. The photographs describe the journey of Falun Dafa and practitioners validating Dafa. The exhibition will continue until the end of the month.

About 60 people, including children, attended the exhibition which describes the journey of Falun Dafa and practitioners validating Dafa.

They listened to the practitioners' introduction of Falun Gong and the explanation of the persecution in China. Besides questioning the reasons for the brutality of the persecution of Falun Gong, they also expressed their compassion and asked about the practice. Many of them learned the exercises and commented on the ambience within the ancrestral house reflecting the solemnity of the exhibition and the sacredness of Falun Dafa.
