(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of April 8, 2002, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Falun Dafa practitioners at Georgia Institute of Technology held a photo exhibition of the Journey of Falun Dafa. They introduced the worldwide spreading of Falun Gong and the current persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China to the faculty and its students.

Photos were displayed along the roadside of Blue-sky Boulevard where many people passed by. About 30 photos and display boards were erected to show Falun Gong's journey of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Some Dafa practitioners introduced Falun Gong to the passers-by whilst others performed the five sets of exercises on the roadside lawn and also sent forth righteous thoughts.

The eye-catching photos attracted many teachers and students to stop and look. Some asked for Dafa materials, and some signed our petition to express their support to Falun Gong practitioners in China after they had learnt how they are suffering such brutal persecution. When some Chinese students and scholars passed by, practitioners took the chance to clarify the truth to them and clear their misunderstandings about Falun Gong. One Chinese scholar used to practice another type of Qigong, he showed great interest in Falun Gong after having a long conversation with practitioners. After he saw the photos depicting the worldwide spread of Falun Gong, he said, "Falun Gong definitely has its unique characteristics. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to draw so many people to practice it." He accepted our truth-clarifying VCDs and literature, and inquired about our Dafa websites. Some American students had heard about Falun Gong when doing some projects in school. They were glad that we were holding a Falun Dafa photo exhibition on their campus, and that they have had such an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Falun Gong.
