Edmonton Practitioners Celebrate Falun Dafa Day

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Edmonton, the capital of Alberta, Canada, celebrated the 26thWorld Falun Dafa Day at the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market on May 10, 2025. The practitioners did the exercises together and performed waist drums in a festive atmosphere, expressing their most sincere birthday wishes to Master Li Hongzhi.

With the cheerful music from the waist drum team, passers-by stopped to watch with a smile, and some raised their mobile phones to take pictures.

A lady applauded happily at the end of the song. She watched all the exercises and found out about Falun Dafa from the practitioners. She also watched and learned the movements of the first set of exercises. The practitioners helped her find a link to the online video of the teachings, and she happily said that she must continue to learn the exercises when she went home, and read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong.

An Asian man, who had heard about Falun Gong and its persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), passed by the Falun Gong celebration rally and wanted to start practicing Falun Gong. He learned five sets of exercises from practitioners.

Mr. Fan, a Falun Gong practitioner who had just emigrated to Canada from China last year, expressed his gratitude to Master Li. He said that since he started to practice with his family in 1996, he has always been able to feel the compassionate protection of Dafa. The miracles and happiness of cultivating in Dafa are innumerable. He hasn’t taken a single pill for more than 20 years, and when he encounters difficulties and problems in daily work and life, he always keeps in mind that he is a cultivator, and he can always get the best results.

On behalf of his family and fellow practitioners in China, Mr. Fan wished Master a happy birthday! He said, “We must do a good job, practice diligently, and live up to the compassionate salvation of Master! ”
