(Clearwisdom.net) In the afternoon of May 11, 2008, Falun Gong practitioners in Russia celebrated "World Falun Dafa Day" in the botanical garden of the Moscow Academy of Science.
Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day
Demonstrating the five exercises draws in many onlookers
Visitors browse the truth-clarification board
Signing names to support Falun Gong
Learning how to make Lotus flowers
At the celebration, practitioners first presented a waist drum performance. Splendid performances followed one after the other, including a solo dance, group dance, lotus dance and fan dance, which were graceful and moving. Practitioners also recited poems and sang songs.
The demonstration of the five exercises drew the attention of a large group of tourists, and the truth clarification boards attracted many groups of people who came to learn more about Falun Gong and the persecution in China. They expressed amazement and were indignant towards the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) brutal persecution of Falun Gong and Dafa disciples. Many asked to sign the petition book, signing their names in support of Falun Gong and opposing the persecution.
There were paper lotus flowers in front of the table, and many layers of people around the table. Not only did people get a lovely lotus flower to take home, but the Dafa practitioners also gave careful instructions on the skill of folding the lotus flowers. The small lotus flowers passed on the Dafa practitioners' message. During the four-hour Fa-spreading activity, the practitioners handed out over 2,000 truth-clarification leaflets.
