On May 13, thousands of people traditionally gather in festive processions and perform meditative exercises of this Chinese school of cultivation together in parks.
In the city of Toronto in Canada, thousands of people gathered on this holiday. Many people talk about the benefits they received from cultivation in a school based on truth, kindness, and patience.
And this is New York. This is where Falun Gong parades are usually the most numerous.
A grand parade also took place in the center of Sydney, Australia. This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the spread of Falun Dafa to the general public.
Falun Dafa or Falun Gong is a traditional Chinese cultivation system that has spread widely to more than 150 countries around the world.
