All of the heavens and the earth celebrate together the 10th Anniversary of Falun Dafa's Public Introduction

A ten year old Dafa disciple dedicated this most precious gift to Master--his cultivation experience: Once when I was writing "Falun Dafa is good" etc. on electricity poles, when I finished writing, I saw that the sky was a golden color and the clouds were red with golden edges. How beautiful! My mother told me, "Master is giving you encouragement!"

Media Report
