(Clearwisdom.net) To mark the 12th anniversary of Falun Dafa's introduction to the public, as well as Master's birthday, on May 15th, Swiss Dafa disciples gathered in Luzern to engage in activities and to celebrate the special day. The weather, which was originally forecast to be rainy, became sunny, and the spring breeze was warm.

At 11:30 in the morning, a parade of Dafa disciples began. Banners reading "World Falun Dafa Day" told the people this was an unusual day. The small, colourful boats carrying beautifully dressed female and young disciples symbolised Fa-boats, which escorted the Dafa parade. Banners reading, "Falun Dafa is Good", "The World Needs Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance", etc, disseminated the truth to the people. The peaceful parade and the graceful Falun Dafa music of Pu Du and Ji Shi drew a lot of attention from passersby, some of whom stopped and watched. Others stopped shopping, ran out of stores to watch us, some took truth-clarification materials from Dafa Disciples, and some even joined the parade.

In the lake sailed a boat with a banner reading "Falun Dafa", upon which Dafa Disciples demonstrated the five sets of exercises, drawing a huge amount of attention from other boats and visitors along the banks. Some people pointed at us and shouted, "Look, it's Falun Gong."

Meanwhile, on the information stand beside the lake, there were exhibition boards displaying the situation around the world, showing how Dafa has gained in popularity for the past twelve years, as well as pictures showing the bloody crackdown against Falun Gong in Mainland China. A large amount of visitors stopped to look at the boards and pictures, and spoke with Dafa disciples who explained the truth. All of them expressed immense sympathy and said that Jiang's group was really too cruel. "We support your lawsuit against Jiang Zemin. You did great today. Falun Gong is really good." Some of them expressed the wish to learn to practice Falun Gong immediately.

After the end of the parade, all disciples participating in the activities took pictures together beside the lake with the beautiful scenery as a back-drop. Everyone shouted from the bottom of their hearts, "Greetings, Master." At the same time, a banner reading, "Greetings Master" made by disciples showing celestial beings, soared into the blue sky, powered by a large balloon fully loaded with disciple's infinite respect and thoughts of Master.
