(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, held a car tour on the Pacific island on May 13, 2026, to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day. The motorcade parade lasted about an hour and a half, starting from American Memorial Park, and passing along Beach Road via the airport to Northern Marianas College, and Pau Pau Beach.
The parade proceeded peacefully, with each car carrying a board on top that displayed words in English or Chinese, such as “Falun Dafa Is Good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Is Good,” “Celebrate the 34th Anniversary of Falun Dafa’s Public Introduction,” and “The World Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.”
Practitioners gathered at the safety area beside Toyota Intersection on Beach Road and held celebration activities from about 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The day marked the 34th anniversary of Falun Dafa's introduction to the public in China on May 13, 1992, by the practice’s founder Mr. Li Hongzhi. On this joyous occasion, practitioners in Saipan expressed their deepest gratitude to Mr. Li.

Saipan suffered devastating damage in mid-April during a super typhoon. The World Falun Dafa Day celebrations attracted many people and created a beautiful scene on the island after the natural disaster. The peaceful, joyous atmosphere at the event touched passersby, bringing joy and hope to local residents. Passing drivers honked their horns to greet the tour, and many people stopped to watch and wave. Some gave a thumbs-up and praised the event for its excellence.

One of the passersby, Hermie, said, “Falun Dafa is good, and everybody needs the values of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The persecution of Falun Dafa is wrong. I really like seeing practitioners exercise and meditate every morning. I really want to join you, and I strongly support you.”

Salvatore Gotti, a young mechanic, said it was the first time he had heard about Falun Dafa and the persecution in China. “The values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are wonderful!” Hearing about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) human rights abuses, including state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting, he said, “I am shocked that such evil things can happen in the world. I support Falun Dafa. As ordinary citizens, we can do something for human rights, like brainstorming and discussing how to improve this situation.”

“I’m a student about to start university,” Roman Travilla said. “I’ve heard about Falun Dafa many times. I strongly agree with the universal values of Dafa. I want to say to those persecuted in China but still persevering in their faith, to continue upholding their beliefs regardless of what others say. That is a precious spirit.”
Ms. Du, who has been practicing Falun Dafa for years, said, “I’m 74 today. I was captivated by the profound principles of Falun Dafa and began practicing. Before that, my life was full of hardships. After practicing, my life changed a lot. I am very healthy and energetic. I’ve found my purpose in life, and know why we are here. It is to live according to the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, believe in the divine, and ultimately return to one’s true home. I have let go of the longstanding resentment towards my husband and mother-in-law, and treat them well by following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I am lighthearted and happy. I recommend everyone to read the book Zhuan Falun.”
