Practitioners in Japan

On January 12 and 13, practitioners in Japan held a series of activities in Nagoya, Japan's third largest city. About 200 practitioners from across Japan gathered at the Youth Center of Nagoya. We studied Teacher's Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida. USA and other new articles, and we also shared Hongfa experiences in holding local activities. Practitioners were deeply moved by Teacher's great compassion and realized even more the importance of studying Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying truth. On the evening of January 12 while studying Fa, we learned that practitioners in over 30 cities around the world would be holding candlelight vigils and other appeal activities over three days at Chinese embassies and consulates to condemn the escalation of arrests, torture and murder of Dafa practitioners in China by Jiang's regime, 40 practitioners drove to the Chinese Consulate in Osaka and held candlelight vigil there. In the morning they returned to Nagoya to participate in the 2^nd day activities. In the meantime, over 40 practitioners held a candlelight vigil outside the Chinese embassy in Tokyo. Practitioners staying in Nagoya continued their Fa Study and experience sharing and sending forth righteous thoughts at the top of each hour from 8 to 11 pm to eliminate the evil and save sentient beings.

On the morning of January 13 at the top of the hours of 6am, 7am and 8am, practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts together with practitioners around the world. Then practitioners went to Famous City Park, the largest park of Nagoya. In the park we sent forth righteous thoughts and demonstrated the exercises to visitors. At 1pm, accompanied with music of Pu Du and Ji Shi we held banners that read Falun Dafa Is Good, Truth-Compassion-Tolerance, SOS! Urgent Rescue Falun Gong Practitioners Persecuted in China, China: Stop Persecuting Falun Gong In China, and started a parade. During the parade, we constantly sent forth righteous thoughts. The parade procession was peaceful and solemn. The energy field of compassion was so powerful that many practitioners were moved to tears. The people passing by watched the parade attentively. Along the parade route some practitioners distributed to citizens Dafa flyers in Chinese, English and Japanese. Many people accepted the flyers and started to read at once. The parade lasted two hours and concluded successfully at Dancing Crane Park. After taking some group photos, practitioners went to the embassy and consulates in Japan to participate in the candlelight vigil activities.

We treasure this opportunity of meeting at Nagoya and clarifying the truth to the citizens there. We strongly feel that it is Teacher's great compassion: Teacher would not give up on anyone who has a predestined relationship.
