Adjacent to the Sydney Opera House, this garden is the oldest scientific institution in Australia and one of the most visited attractions in Sydney.
The character formation started at 9 a.m., with practitioners arriving wearing yellow jackets and light-colored trousers. They sat on the ground in carefully arranged locations, forming four large Chinese characters meaning “Fa Rectifies Heaven and Earth.”

Denise and Brian, mother and son, were very happy to participate in the character-forming activity.
Brian agreed, and added that he felt great energy while sitting together with his fellow practitioners. “Every practitioner looks so pure and so happy. It is really a good thing to be here with everyone.”
Abhishek from Sydney said that Falun Dafa helped him gain a better understanding of life.
Sydney practitioner Abhishek said that he was especially excited to see more and more people taking up the practice. He said he learned the purpose of life and much more from Falun Dafa.
He said, “I am so fortunate to practice Falun Dafa. I think this is why I came to this world. I will cherish this opportunity, follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and walk each step well.”
