(Clearwisdom.net) In a village in eastern Guangdong Province, it is a local custom to hold a parade to show respect to divine beings after the Lunar New Year's Day. On this occasion, each family makes flags or banners on which they embroider various kinds of messages and parade through nearby villages.
This year, a Falun Dafa practitioner in the village wanted to use this opportunity to clarify the truth and promote Dafa, so she made two banners, one of them 2.8-meters (9-ft.) long and 1-meter (3-ft.) wide. On the golden silk banner, the shining red Chinese characters (in official script, a kind of calligraphy) read, "Human beings need Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Each character of the words, "Human beings need" was 25-centimeters (10-inches) wide, and each character of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" was 38-centimeters (15-inches) wide. Words on the other side of the golden silk banner read, "Buddha's light shines everywhere." Each character was about 35-centimeter (14-inches) wide. The second banner was 3.2-meters (10-ft-and-6-inches) long and 1-meter (3-ft) wide and had a red background. On one side of it, the golden words read, "With Vast Compassion and Virtue" and the words on the other side read, "Sincerity, goodness, forgiveness, tolerance." The two banners shone in the sun and were extremely eye-catching.

With Master's protection and strengthening and the practitioners' cooperation, the two-day march passed through about 20 villages. Upon seeing the words, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," some children immediately said, "Falun Gong!" Some adults said, "These two banners are the most beautiful ones. They are not only eye-catching but the words also have great meaning." The parade sponsors also told the practitioner, "Your banners are the best!"
On the first day of the march, it rained for about 30 minutes. After that, an observant person ran over to ask the practitioner, "Why is it that our banners, which were covered with plastic still got wet, yet yours which were not covered are dry?" At this point, the practitioner found that her banners were indeed dry. People once again witnessed a miracle of Falun Dafa. The practitioner smiled and explained the facts about Falun Dafa to that person. The person responded, "Then, I'll tell the sponsors to embroider Falun Dafa messages on all the banners from now on."
