USA: Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day in Boston

(Minghui.org) With the upcoming 33^rd anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction and Master Li’s birthday, practitioners in New England held activities in the Boston Common, the oldest public park in the U.S., on May 4, 2025, to celebrate the 26^th World Falun Dafa Day and to express their gratitude to their founder, Master Li Hongzhi.

Practitioners set up banners, lotus flowers, and an art exhibition and gave performances. Many people stopped to watch and learned about Falun Dafa.

Liang Yuxin, who practices Falun Dafa, said, “We would like to thank Master for introducing this great cultivation practice to the world and spreading the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. We hope people will discover the truth about Falun Dafa instead of listening to the Chinese Communist Party’s lies.”

Laura and her mother stopped to watch practitioners doing the exercises. After one of them told her a bit about the practice, Laura said that she admired Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance: “Everyone needs these principles.” She hopes the persecution in China ends soon and wants to tell practitioners in China, “It’s important to stay firm on what’s right. Be brave in this difficult time!”
