On the evening of October 21, after seeking and receiving approval from the local government, Falun Dafa practitioners displayed large pictures of fellow practitioners injured in China to nearly 10,000 people, attending a "Peace Concert" at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. The materials on display also included flyers appealing for people's help in stopping the atrocities by the Chinese government, and newspapers introducing Falun Dafa.
This activity, particularly the pictures, attracted the attention of a large number of people at the concert, many of whom displayed their kindness and sympathies toward Falun Dafa. Just by seeing the pictures, they recognized that the actions of the Chinese government have been cruel and ruthless. Some American people said: "We support you. What can we do for you?" Some also expressed interest in learning Falun Gong and participating in the group exercises. Their sense of justice and interest in Falun Gong deeply moved the practitioners.
When we were concluding our Dafa promotional activities a little past 10 pm, the news came out that our Teacher had attended the California Experience Sharing Conference. We all felt so encouraged.
