July 8, 2006 |   By a French practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) June 21st was the day for a Music Festival in the Fontaine des Innocents in Paris. Fontaine des Innocents is a renowned tourist site located very close to the business center. With music, dancing, waist-drummers and a demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises, practitioners brought the beauty of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance to many people. The audience was deeply moved by the Chinese traditional culture. Falun Gong practitioners also used poster displays to show the spread of the Falun Dafa around the world and the Chinese Communist regime's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. After reading the posters, people used various ways to show their support for Falun Gong and condemn the Chinese Communist regime's persecution.

After learning about the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong, one woman told the reporter: "I feel it is very shameful and disgusting. I am strongly against this persecution. The French government should absolutely take some actions to stop this ugly event. All government officials should be concerned with this matter because we are humans. We should not tolerate the murder of the children of God".

She was very moved by Falun Gong practitioners' performances. She said: "I watched the dancing by Falun Gong practitioners. It is very beautiful and imaginative. It awakes my eagerness to a life of peace, tranquility and happiness. I feel that despite the persecution they suffer in China, they are full of hope for a harmonious life."

Falun Gong practitioners' performances were very refreshing to the public. While they appreciated the Chinese traditional cultivation culture through the peaceful exercises and beautiful music, the compassion and peacefulness shown by Falun Gong practitioners left everyone with a deep impression of the beauty of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.

A man from Algeria said: "I love Chinese culture: it contains rich inner meanings. I am very touched by this cultivation method. Their movements are so harmonious and well coordinated. The noises around seem to have no affects at all on them. I couldn't understand why this cultivation method is banned in China. I feel it is very healthy. You are very welcome to visit Algeria."

In the evening the weather changed suddenly and it started to rain. But the rain didn't stop people from enjoying the performance. The dance "Spinning Falun" expressed Falun Gong practitioners' voices and created a very beautiful scene in the square.
