(Clearwisdom.net) On February 18, 2012, Falun Gong practitioners in Sacramento, California participated in a local annual Chinese New Year celebration. They set up a table to introduce Falun Gong and distributed flyers and special editions on Falun Gong. Many visitors paused to learn about the practice and the persecution in China.

Practitioners in Sacramento participate in local annual Chinese New Year celebration and spread the facts of Falun Gong.

Falun Gong practitioners at the table were busy as many visitors paused to listen and take informational materials. Some staff in neighboring stands were curious why so many people visited the practitioners’ table. The practitioners explained the facts again and again. They did not feel hungry or tired, but the busier, the happier. Two local practitioners had just come back in the morning from attending an event in southern California protesting the persecution of Falun Gong, and then participated in this local event at noon.

The practitioners distributing flyers outdoors said almost all the visitors accepted the informational materials. Another practitioner did not know the location of the Falun Gong table in the morning. He asked an organizer, who appeared to be from China, for directions. The organizer accompanied him to the Falun Gong table and helped move boxes. Another organizer praised the Falun Gong practitioners for their dedication.
