Hong Kong Practitioners Bring Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance to Hong Kong People during the Spring Festival

Feb. 28, 2002

(Clearwisdom.Net) It is reported that the Annual Spring Festival attracts over 400,000 visitors once a year. This is the second year that Hong Kong practitioners visited the fair to clarify the truth. We set up Hongfa booths in Victoria Park and Tsuen Wan Shajudao Park to bring "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" to the kind citizens of Hong Kong. We also celebrated the Spring Festival in other Hongfa locations.

We had prepared 100,000 copies of truth flyers as well as numerous CDs, balloons, pins and lotus flowers. More and more people are receptive to know the truth; some even wanted to learn Dafa exercises on the spot.

Practitioners distribute truth clarification materials and gifts to visitors at the booth in Victoria Park Gifts waiting to be distributed to visitors: flowers, calendars, pins, pens, etc.

We had prepared many gift items including colorful lotus flowers, elegant calendars, pins, balloons, pens and scrolls imprinted with Zhen-Shan-Ren, which were given to visitors. Every item had words like Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance) or "Falun Dafa Hao" (Falun Dafa is Good) written on it. The videos "Falun Dafa: Peaceful Journey," "Falun Dafa Around the World", "Falun Gong Exercises" and "Falun Dafa Hao" from FGMTV were shown.

For over one week our booths constantly attracted many visitors. When we gave the gifts and truth clarification materials to the visitors, they were all surprised, "Is this flower really free? VCD is also free?", "Thank you very much! I will take it home and watch it!"

While distributing the presents, practitioners told the visitors: "Life needs Zhen-Shan-Ren, the world knows Falun Dafa is good; please learn the truth of Falun Gong; All nations in the world are practicing Falun Gong and China is the only country persecuting Falun Gong". We printed the information with our own money and distributed them for free.

"Actually, people have been waiting for the Fa." [Lecture on the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Conference]. Many citizens were attracted by the auspicious songs, brilliant lotus flowers and balloons, and came to get materials. They were delighted; many people smelled the lotus flowers once they received one, maybe they could smell the fragrance of the flowers. An elderly man was sniffing the flower untiringly. Out of curiosity I asked him if there was any scent. The elderly man insisted, "You have perfumed the flower!" I told him that as a matter of fact, the flowers were not scented.

Some people were indifferent initially. After listening to us they came over to take the materials. After glancing at the video they changed their minds and said they were going to sign the petition and support Falun Gong. Many did sign their names on the petition.

Some were not willing to accept the Dafa materials. We told them, "Then please accept this flower and remember Zhen-Shan-Ren, and Falun Dafa is good." They were deeply moved by practitioners' compassionate hearts, "You are giving me flowers even though I have declined the materials?" When they walked by the booth again they accepted Dafa VCD and Dafa materials.

A child came to pick out a pin and asked his dad which one he should take. His dad said, "For sure the one with 'Falun Dafa Hao.'" When we asked the father if he was a practitioner, he said he was not but he despises the persecution against Falun Gong by Jiang's- regime. It shows that when more and more people know the truth they will oppose this evil persecution.

Some youngsters stood in front of our booth and wouldn't leave. We gave them VCD's and they declined. We said, "It's for you; please take a look to understand further." They took the VCD's but still wouldn't leave. We then said that these flowers are for you. They took it and left happily.

As the Fa rectification accelerates, we see that people become clear and sober minded and more and more people want to know the truth. At this year's fair, some non-practitioners also joined us to distribute flowers, balloons and flyers. They said with us, "Come see what is Falun Gong! Falun Dafa is good!"
