Queensland, Australia: Dafa Practitioners Celebrate the New Year with Friends and Relatives (Photos)

Feb. 8, 2003 |   By Dafa practitioners in Queensland, Australia

(Clearwisdom.net) On this Chinese Spring Festival, Queensland Falun Dafa practitioners decided to invite their friends and relatives to celebrate together so that they would have an opportunity to get to know the goodness of Falun Dafa. On the afternoon of the first day in the Chinese lunar calendar, the practitioners decorated a rented spacious dining room in traditional Chinese style at the Rogen School of Griffith University in Brisbane. They also prepared an ample and delicious dinner. The practitioners prepared for this evening for a week and sent out invitations to many friends and relatives. Over 100 guests showed up that evening.

After the dinner, the practitioners entertained their guests with performances composed, directed and performed by themselves. The first performer was a ten-year-old violinist whose skilled and excellent performance won the audience's warm applause. After that, the practitioners performed singing and traditional Chinese dancing. An eleven-year-old practitioner performed electronic organ music. The most warmly welcomed program was four female practitioners' Tang Dynasty Costume Show.

The guests highly appraised the evening and many of them said, "Falun Gong is so beautiful." Many others showed appreciation for the performers' skill. Through conversation, many people wanted to learn more about Falun Gong. We found similar activities to have equally good effects, as many people can see the goodness of Falun Dafa from the practitioners' words and actions that deeply touched their hearts.

The evening concluded successfully. Though we met with much interference during the activity, the practitioners broke through all of them with their righteous thoughts. The guests enjoyed themselves and many were reluctant to leave.

We felt more and more that prior to the arrival of the Fa-rectification in the human world, we should always maintain righteous thoughts, clear away interference and demonstrate mighty virtue through our righteous thoughts and righteous actions.
