(Clearwisdom.net) On February 17 and 18, the 22nd Asian Festival was held in Eugene, Oregon. People from different communities brought very rich performances, and many tourists attended the festivities.
Falun Gong practitioners also came to the festival to clarify the truth and demonstrate the exercises. Many attendees had heard about Falun Gong before, but they still wanted to learn more details about it. Some were interested in learning the exercises.
One gentleman told practitioners that he felt an immense energy field after learning the exercises. An Indian girl said that she could understand the mechanism of Falun Gong, because she had practiced Yoga, and now wanted to learn Falun Gong. Several young people said that they liked Falun Gong because it is very pure and teaches people to cultivate their hearts. A few people told practitioners that they felt the strong energy field when the practitioners were demonstrating the exercises.
One practitioner, who had just arrived in the US from China, told his own experience of being persecuted in China, which touched many audience members. People were shocked when they learned about the organ harvesting. Some said that they knew about the persecution, but they didn't know that it is so severe. The persecution reminded people of the Nazis killing Jewish people. Many people realized that the persecution relates to everyone in the world. Some people asked for more materials. Three young girls from China learned the truth from practitioners, and they said that they would tell more people about it.
