The Epoch Times NEW YORK—Before the pandemic, waves of people donning yellow and blue would congregate in New York and elsewhere this time of year to take part in a celebration.
In public parks and on the streets, they showcased slow-moving, meditative exercises, while wearing shirts emblazoned with the words “truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance”—the three core tenets of their faith, Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa).
May 13 is World Falun Dafa Day, marking the date when the spiritual practice was first made public in China in 1992.
The gatherings on this day were not only meant for commemoration, adherents say, but also to send a defiant message to the Chinese communist regime, which has been single-minded in seeking to eradicate the group for more than two decades.
