(Minghui.org) With the Mid-Autumn Festival around the corner, practitioners in Las Vegas gathered at Exploration Peak Park on September 28 to celebrate, introduce Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) to the local community, and thank Master Li (founder of the practice) for the benefits they received from the practice.
In addition to demonstrating the exercises, practitioners also distributed information about Falun Dafa and collected signatures to ask U.S. senators to support the Falun Gong Protection Act. The peaceful scene attracted many passersby who asked for more information or signed petitions calling for an end to the ongoing persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

After one man was told why the event was held, he spelled out his name and address and asked a practitioner to put his information on a petition and then he signed it.
Grateful to Practice Falun Dafa
Mr. Wang (center in the front row) said he is always grateful to practice Falun Dafa.
As a university instructor in China, Mr. Wang was always interested in traditional culture such as Confucianism and Taoism. He also read many books hoping to find a great way that could guide a spiritual journey.
“When a neighbor recommended Zhuan Falun in the summer of 1998, I read the book and all my questions were answered,” he recalled. “I understood that we did not come to this world to fight for a better life; rather we need to return to our origins.”
After he began practicing Falun Dafa Mr. Wang said he was able to relax and remain calm, “When I encounter conflicts at work, in the family, or in society, I always treat this as opportunities for me to improve my xinxing. I need to let go of my attachments to fame, material interest, and sentimentality,” he explained.
“Falun Dafa made me a new person. That is why I am always thankful to Master Li for everything,” he added.
“This World Will Not Exist Without Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance”
Maria is interested in learning more about Falun Dafa.
Maria was taking a walk with her husband. She chatted with a practitioner who told the couple the CCP has been suppressing Falun Dafa for 26 years, and the mistreatment included detention, torture, and forced organ harvesting. To make things worse, the CCP has now extended the persecution overseas.
Maria said she knew the CCP was bad and she liked the Falun Dafa teachings. “This world will not exist without Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” she added.
Maria was happy to hear Falun Dafa is taught for free and the exercises are easy to learn. She was interested in Falun Dafa’s main book Zhuan Falun and asked where the nearest practice site was.
After they signed the petitions, the couple was happy to receive lotus flowers and information about Falun Dafa.
People Learn the Exercises
Isaac and Ethan learn the exercises.
Isaac and Ethan are local residents and they came to the park to take a walk with their friends. Isaac is a security officer and Ethan is a law enforcement officer.
After chatting with a practitioner, they signed petitions to support practitioners’ efforts. They were interested in learning the exercises, so practitioners showed them how to do the third excise. They were very happy and Isaac said the practice made him feel energetic as well as relaxed. They continued talking with the practitioner for a long time before they left.
A friend of Isaac and Ethan accepted information about Falun Dafa and watched as they learned the exercises. He said he would read the information. Ethan said he really liked the lotus flower which had the words: “Falun Dafa is good.”
