CALGARY—Several dignitaries attended a rally on Saturday morning to welcome the Tian Guo Marching Band and Falun Dafa practitioners of Calgary who took part in the Calgary Stampede Parade.
This was the second year in a row that the Tian Guo Marching Band participated in the Stampede parade. The band, which was first formed in New York City, now has a contingent in seven countries around the world. All Tian Guo musicians practice Falun Dafa, a self-improvement practice consisting of meditation, exercises, and living according to the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.
The rally, which was held at the Calgary Chinese Cultural Centre, was followed by a Falun Dafa parade through Chinatown.
