(Minghui.org) The annual Kaohsiung Tomato Festival was held in the Luchu Sports district on December 11th and 12th. Falun Dafa practitioners were once again invited to participate. The Tian Guo Marching Band was invited to perform during the event and practitioners had a booth to introduce Falun Dafa.

As the pandemic has slowed down in Taiwan, the tomato festival was held as scheduled. Many festival goers said that the Tian Guo Marching Band and Waist Drum performances brought a lot of joy to the event. The host of the festival said, “If you want to be healthy, nourishing your heart is more important than focusing on nutrition. Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance fills one with happiness and peace.”

Commenting on newspaper articles keep telling people you can’t eat this or that, he said, “If everyone can be like a Falun Dafa practitioner, with truthfulness, compassion, tolerance in his heart, then happiness and peace will come to his family. ‘Man is doing, the sky is watching’, kind people will be blessed by gods and Buddhas.”
