(Minghui.org) Practitioners in Nagoya did the exercises in Sakae Park. They held a parade on Sunday, September 15, 2024, to tell people about Falun Dafa and expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution that has gone on for 25 years. Many people praised Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and said they hoped the persecution would end soon. 

Practitioners did the Falun Dafa exercises in Sakae Park.

Starting from Sakae Park, the two-and-a-half-hour long parade passed along major business streets, famous stores and parks, including Otsu-Dori, Mitsukoshi, Matsuzakaya, Hisaya, and Hisaya-Park. Passersby along the route stopped to watch the parade and learn about Falun Dafa.

Those who behave according to these principles must be good people.”
