Falun
Dafa Photo Exhibition Tours in South Island
=================================================================================
While people are enjoying the Christmas holiday, Falun Dafa
practitioners in New Zealand held Dafa photo exhibitions in the cities
of Dunedin and Invercargill, located in the southernmost areas of the
world.

The visitors to the exhibition included people from Australia,
Germany, America, New Zealand, as well as Chinese tourists and students.
Many of them knew about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in
China, but still felt it hard to believe that a regime could so
completely stifle people's freedom of belief. Many visitors left
messages in the visitors' book such as, "Shocking! Too
unfair!" The practitioners introduced them to the book Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party to get more facts and understand
why such brutal persecution occurs in China.
The photos of practitioners' peaceful practice also attracted many
people to stop to look. Many visitors admired the photos that displayed
miracles, such as the Falun emblem and light emitted from strong energy
fields.

The city of Nelson has the longest hours of sunshine in southern New
Zealand, and many tourists visit Nelson around Christmas and New Year's
Day every year. During the New Year Holiday of 2006, a Fa-Validating
Photo Exhibition opened in this beautiful sunshine capital. It was
exhibited in shopping centers, on the beach and on busy streets. Many
people learned about the benefits of Falun Dafa and the persecution of
Falun Gong in China through the exhibition.

Falun Gong practitioners greeted tourists from all over world with
"Happy New Year!" Many people had heard about the persecution
of Falun Gong in China; however, they still experienced a sharp contrast
between the beauty of Falun Dafa and the cruel torture.
Written on the album were many comments such as, "It is so
sad!" "Stop the torture!" "Freedom is all!"
Some who had never heard about Falun Gong became interested in learning
Falun Gong. Many people thanked Falun Gong practitioners for introducing
Falun Dafa to them.

Christchurch is the largest city on the South Island of New Zealand. It
is also known as "Garden City." The "Falun Dafa
practitioners Validating the Fa" Photo Exhibition made a special
point to visit this beautiful city.

People want to learn more about Falun Dafa theory and exercises

It was the New Year holiday season and many people went to the famous
Botanical Garden of Christchurch. The photo exhibition was close to the
entrance, so visitors from Christchurch, as well as foreign tourists had
the opportunity to see these valuable pictures.
After talking to many visitors, practitioners found out that many
people had already heard about Falun Dafa or had received
truth-clarification materials before, and they had some knowledge of the
persecution in China. Many of their questions therefore turned to the
theory of Falun Dafa and the exercises. They also wanted to know more
about the Communist Party's autocratic rule in terms of the economy,
culture and human rights. The practitioners answered their questions and
then recommended that they read the book, the Nine Commentaries on
the Communist Party to get their questions answered in more depth.
