SAN FRANCISCO—Falun Dafa practitioners from all walks of life marched through the streets of San Francisco on May 7 in honor of the 17th annual World Falun Dafa Day.
Falun Dafa, a traditional Chinese discipline of meditation and self-improvement, was first taught in public in China in 1992. Each year, tens of millions of Falun Dafa practitioners around the world celebrate World Falun Dafa Day on May 13, the anniversary of Falun Dafa’s introduction to the public and the birthday of its founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi.
This year’s celebration in San Francisco included a parade and rally. Before the parade, practitioners gathered in front of the San Francisco City Hall to do the Falun Dafa exercises to peaceful music.
