(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners were invited to participate in the annual Korean Harvest Festival in Toronto, Canada on August 28, 2016. They demonstrated the five exercises and raised awareness about the practice and the persecution in China.

Many visitors learned the exercises by following along with the demonstration or asked questions about the Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa.

Outraged by the communist regime's harvesting of organs from unlawfully imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners, many signed the postcards to Canadian Prime Minister and petition to Canadian Parliament, calling on them to help stop the persecution.

A Korean Visitor: The Book Zhuan Falun Is So Good.

Steve Lee, from South Korea, attended the festival. He said he was drawn to the Falun Dafa booth. After talking with a practitioner, he became interested in the practice and read the book, Zhuan Falun, at the booth for quite a while.

Steve said, “This book is so good. Falun Dafa can help people ascend in spiritual realm, to think from a 'whole universe' perspective. The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are very good. All people should follow them.”

He signed the petition condemning forced organ harvesting, saying, “I cannot imagine how they [the Chinese regime] could do that.”
