(Clearwisdom.net) With concerted efforts by practitioners from the Philadelphia, Minnesota and Pittsburgh areas, a "Journey of Falun Dafa" photo exhibition was held in Pittsburgh's City Hall in the state of Pennsylvania, USA.

On October 1-4, 2002, a four-day photo exhibition brought peace and harmony to Pittsburgh's City Hall, and the magnificence of Falun Dafa attracted many predestined people who were astounded by the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China, and many people came to request postcards for President Bush, hoping to help end this persecution soon. Councilman Mr. William Peduto, who has been very supportive of Falun Dafa, especially came to look at the exhibition. He welcomed and thanked practitioners for holding this exhibition in City Hall, and he also expressed that he would continue supporting and helping Falun Gong practitioners.

During the four-day exhibition, most of the people who came to learn the truth about Falun Dafa signed their names on postcards to President Bush, and many people also asked their colleagues to come to sign. The following are some examples.

Early morning on October 1, while practitioners were arranging display boards in City Hall, a guard walked up to ask what the exhibition was about. When he heard "Falun Gong," he smiled and said he had heard about Falun Gong from the news, but did not know any details. He said he would like to learn more. In the following three days, he came to look at our display boards multiple times, requested information and materials and signed on postcards for President Bush. Later he also introduced other guards on duty to come to sign. He also took some materials for his daughter and said he would learn to practice Falun Gong.

The first morning before the practitioners got all the display boards set up, a middle-aged woman approached us and happily told us that she had known about Falun Gong from her Taiji teacher. She once borrowed the exercises instruction videotape from a library and bought a copy of Zhuan Falun. She had read it once, and she liked it very much. She has been looking for a place to learn the exercises, so she was very happy to see us. She was eager to learn the exercises from us.

On the morning of the second day, a Catholic nun came to us and said she knew that Falun Gong is persecuted in China. She requested some Dafa truth-clarifying materials and wanted to bring them to her school. She also took several postcards appealing for stopping the persecution of Falun Gong. Later in the afternoon, she came back and said she wanted to get videotapes explaining the facts about Falun Gong. Unfortunately, we did not have any on hand. On Friday, the last day of the exhibition, she came back again, and was very happy to get the videotapes that she wanted. Upon hearing that the "Journey of Falun Dafa" photo exhibition would be held again in City Hall, she said she would come again. She requested 30 more postcards and thanked us for the Dafa information and materials.

On the last afternoon of the exhibition, while the practitioners took down display boards from the frames, a young lady came up and stayed in front of the display boards for a long time. She then requested Dafa materials for herself and her husband. She said she was glad to see us, and she would go to our practice site the next morning to learn the exercises.

During the four-day exhibition, the guards at City Hall and the practitioners became friends. They all came to sign their names on postcards; sometimes they also helped practitioners to pass out Dafa materials. Before the practitioners left, a staff member came to shake hands with us, and said he felt the exhibition was very successful and thanked us for holding it.
