(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Seattle did the exercises as a group in Green Lake Park on May 27, 2023.

Practitioners introduced Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa), and exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. They also assisted the Chinese people who wished to withdraw from the CCP and its youth organizations.

Green Lake Park is located north of Seattle Center, Washington State. There is a unique freshwater lake in the park, which is also a glacial lake. The park is surrounded by residential communities.

Many people paused to talk with practitioners to learn more about Falun Dafa.

Ms. Madeleine, who works in Seattle, said that she had seen some introductions about Falun Dafa on YouTube and wanted to learn it. After getting further introductions from a practitioner, she wished to learn to practice Falun Dafa even more. She said that after returning home, she would visit the website given to her by a Falun Dafa practitioner for information.

Mr. Ben Sadr, a painter, received a flier from a Falun Dafa practitioner. He listened carefully to the practitioners’ explanation and said, “Because I have been painting for a long time, I have been working hard for many years. I have long wanted to study a beneficial practice. I finally find it today. After I go home, I will go online to learn more about Falun Dafa, and take time to participate in the online exercises.” When he heard that the CCP persecutes Falun Gong practitioners, he felt extremely sad.

Mr. Sebastian, who works at the headquarters of T-Mobile in Bellevue, said, “On this sunny spring day, I am fortunate to meet Falun Dafa practitioners and learn such a good practice method. I am really happy. So happy!” When he was told that Falun Gong practitioners in China were still being persecuted by the CCP regime, he asked with a heavy heart, “How can I help?” A practitioner told him that letting more people know about the persecution would help stop it.

Xavier Finn, who was on a business trip from Canada to Seattle, said he had been searching for years for an exercise method that was good for both physical and mental health, but he never found it.

“I happen to meet you today,” he said, “and read these materials. I feel like I have learned a lot. Will you come here to do the exercises next weekend? I want to join you.”
