Starting from the central park in Ikebukura, the parade procession was led by the Divine Land Marching Band and marched through the flourishing streets before returning to the central park.
A few practitioners in the parade accepted interviews. Mr. Zhang Yang teaches in National University of Japan. He said Falun Dafa explained the magical experiences he had in his childhood. One of his family member's asthma was cured after practicing Falun Dafa for a few weeks, and he believes Falun Dafa surpasses modern science. Because they have benefited from Falun Dafa, Zhang and his family happily drove a long distance to Tokyo to join the parade.
Practitioner Zhou Jinhua said his family in China is still being persecuted because of their belief in Falun Dafa. He said, "Falun Dafa has been introduced to the public for 16 years. Outside of China, (Falun Dafa practitioners and supporters) can celebrate (World Falun Dafa Day) with parades and performances, but the practitioners in China don't have the freedom to do so, and to express their greetings to Master. I wish the violation of human rights in China will end soon, so the Chinese practitioners can have a free cultivation environment. I wish all the children of jailed Falun Dafa practitioners can live normal lives."
Ms. Li Peihua was excited when she talked about her own experiences with Falun Dafa that had improved her health and protected her and her family. Just a short time ago, someone in her family put a kettle of water on the range and then forgot about it. When she noticed this, the kettle was dry and red hot. Without thinking, she grabbed handle to put it aside and turned off the fire. To her surprise, her hand was not burned at all. Li said, "This is my own experience. I appreciate Master protecting me. I am very grateful to Dafa."
