(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of May 5, the Pennsylvania Governor's Advisory Commission on Asian-American Affairs sponsored the Asian-American Heritage Month Celebration to celebrate Asian culture. Local Falun Gong practitioners participated in this event to promote the practice of Falun Gong. More than thirty Asian-American groups participated in this celebration, which was held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Immigrants from China, Korea, Indonesia, The Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Pakistan and Japan presented their traditional music, dances and other entertainment programs.

At the Falun Gong booth, several practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises, and many visitors asked questions about the features of the practice and availability of the teaching materials.

The Advisory Commission consists of 15 Asian-American community leaders. Its mission is to ensure the government's attention to Asian-Americans' needs and concerns, and to help them advance cultural, economic, educational and technological excellence.
