One Chinese meditation practice, in more than 100 countries...
[Erping Zhang, Falun Dafa Spokesperson]:
"Today is a very special day, a day when the whole world joins in the celebration because it is the 14th World Falun Dafa Day, as well the 21st anniversary of Falun Dafa, the anniversary of Falun Gong being introduced to the world."
And for this May 13th, it's a celebration by those whose lives have been changed by its teachings and health benefits.
[Zenon Dolnyckyj, New York Falun Gong Practitioner]:
"The energy is very wonderful, and it's hard to describe. It's very powerful, but beautiful at the same time, very light, very uplifting. And the changes I felt inside myself were extremely powerful and really helped me to understand my life, to understand society better."
Zenon was with hundreds of others in Manhattan, New York on Sunday (May 12).
And these festivities repeated throughout the world. In Copenhagen, Denmark, Stockholm, Sweden, Seoul, South Korea, and Hong Kong.
For this Mainland Chinese tourist, the celebration was a surprise to see.
[Mainland Chinese Tourist]:
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen something like this. It's not allowed in Mainland China, I think Hong Kong is relatively more free."
These festivities can't be seen in China, because even though Falun Gong was first taught in China in 1992, the Communist Party has carried out a 14-year persecution campaign against its practitioners. They are punished for practicing the Falun Gong exercises, and following its teachings of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance.
That's why on each World Falun Dafa Day, those suffering in China are never far from the minds of those who can freely practice their beliefs overseas.
[Erping Zhang, Falun Dafa Spokesperson]:
"We believe that, in one day in the near future, we will also see such a day in mainland China when people, like us overseas, can freely and publicly cultivate and practice the genuine traditional Chinese culture."
