(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners participated in the Mount Gravatt Lunar New Year street festival in Brisbane on February 5, 2022. Organisers of the event praised practitioners for showcasing traditional values through their performances.

Practitioners were invited to demonstrate the Falun Dafa exercises on stage. They also performed traditional Chinese music and dances. Over three thousand audience members applauded their performances and many thanked practitioners.

Introducing the performance, the host said, “Falun Dafa practitioners bring us back to ancient China with traditional Chinese performances, such as dances, music, drums and singing. They will also demonstrate the Falun Dafa exercises including a meditation practice. This practice can alleviate stress and help one to obtain inner peace.”

Event Organiser Praises Falun Dafa’s Traditional Values

Event organiser Mark Hawkins said he agrees with Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and said they align with Australia’s values of freedom, forgiveness, respect, and helping each other.

He feels supporting Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance supports Australia’s moral foundation. He said, “Falun Dafa practitioners’ exciting performances gave the audience an insight to true traditional Chinese culture. I think that this is a very good opportunity for a cultural exchange.”

Mark cannot accept the fact that practitioners are still being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He feels that in order for the CCP to be disintegrated, people need to be aware and learn its true, evil nature. He said, “More people need to be aware of the truth and make a clear choice. They cannot decide by blindly listening to others.”

Human Resources Manager: I Hope the Persecution Ends Soon

Helen Jasaba is a human resources manager at Australia’s biggest pork manufacturing company. She said, “I am very happy to see practitioners showcasing Chinese traditional culture. They are spreading the prosperity and blessings of the Chinese New Year in the Year of the Tiger. Practitioners’ performances bring positive contributions to society.”

Helen agreed with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and said, “I cannot believe such a good practice is being persecuted in China. This is unbelievable. I hope the persecution will end soon.”
