Festival Facilitator: Let Us Remember Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance

Falun Dafa practitioners sang a song to express their appreciation for Master, the founder of Falun Dafa. The waist drum team performed dances, winning acclamation and applause.

The festival facilitator introduced Falun Dafa to the audience. He said that Falun Dafa has been in Saipan for 26 years. The practice spread to over 100 countries, and practitioners hope the public learns about the practice during the festival. Only a pure mind and high morals can bring health and a good life. He encouraged everyone to remember the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.

The Art of Zhen Shan Ren Exhibition Touches Viewers

Many attendees said the Falun Dafa booth was eye-catching. The first thing that caught the eye was the Art of Zhen Shan Ren Exhibition that showed the beauty of Falun Dafa. Many people stopped to view the paintings and took photos. These works were created by artists who practice Falun Dafa. The paintings not only reflect a skilled artistic level and the artist’s state of cultivation, but also allows their works to touch people’s hearts and awaken their kind nature and yearning for the true meaning of life.

People view the paintings in the exhibition.

Two Russian ladies admired the painting, Shocking, and said they were surprised to see the meditating Falun Dafa practitioner floating in the air while being tortured by the police. They learned that practitioners cannot enjoy freedom of belief and human rights in China. The CCP persecutes Falun Dafa practitioners, and artists use their skills to tell people the facts. The two women sincerely expressed their admiration and sympathy for the practitioners.

John, a student, liked the work The Oath and said it made him feel wonderful. A practitioner shared with him the concept that life is sacred and is a gift from heaven, and people who come to this world must return to their true origins and return to their true home, including you, me, and him. John strongly agreed with this statement. He took several photos of the painting.

An American stopped for a long time while admiring the work The Advent of the Lord Buddha and said he was very interested in Falun Dafa. He immediately took a picture of the website for learning Falun Dafa with his mobile phone. He said he would go online to learn more information.
