(Clearwisdom.net) On the night of December 29, in front of the National Taiwan University Stadium, the Taiwan Falun Dafa Association held a candlelight vigil entitled "With Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance in Mind, a More Peaceful World Will Be a Reality." Five thousand Falun Gong practitioners, mostly from various places in Taiwan, lit up candles in the wind and rain. They sat quietly to memorialize their fellow practitioners who have been tortured to death in China.
Chang, Ching-his, chairman of the Taiwan Falun Dafa Association, and Wu Hui-Lin, chairman of the China Human Rights Association, both pointed out in their speeches that the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by Jiang's regime is wrong, and the means used to torture practitioners are inhumane. They called upon all Taiwan citizens to help stop the persecution.
At the vigil, white candles were arranged into three characters: "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance." Practitioners hope that with Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance in mind, the world will become a more peaceful place. In a solemn, touching scene, practitioners sang songs written by fellow practitioners together.
