The River Walk Stage, Sunshine Plaza, was brimming with balloons and colourful handmade lotus flowers last Friday, as local Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) practitioners supported the ‘International Day of Peace’.
Hundreds of beautiful paper lotus flowers were handed out as a gesture of support for the millions of innocent people who are being persecuted in China simply for practicing this traditional exercise and meditation system.
The lotus flowers are a tribute to the Falun Dafa practitioners in China, who even in the face of injustice, continue to uphold the virtues of peace–Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
The lovely handmade flowers were offered free to the public. As petals of peace, they can remind us that the advancement of world peace truly begins with the improvement of our own hearts, a spokesperson said. The presentation also included a continuous display of Falun Dafa’s five gentle exercises.
