At the event on Red Square, Falun Gong practitioners did traditional Chinese waist drum and lion dance performances while walking around the square continuously for four hours, enlivening the event. 

Practitioners also held various other performances, demonstrated the practice’s exercises, and set up 15 tables for the folding of paper lotus flowers. The Falun Gong exhibit was so popular that many visitors were unable to get close enough to the tables to fold paper lotuses. 

Falun Gong practitioners from other parts of Russia even sent boxes of lotus flowers to Moscow by giving them to train conductors to pass to the Moscow practitioners, so that there would be enough flowers to distribute to all the people.

Falun Dafa is practiced in over 70 countries around the world and often receives support from national or local governments. The U.S. Congress has passed four resolutions calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Dafa in China and over 14,000 proclamations honoring Falun Dafa have been given by U.S. state and local governments.
