西雅圖火把節遊行 Torchlight parade in Seattle 07/27/2024

Coming up right behind them is the Faloon DAPA Association of Washington State. They've come ashore to celebrate the Seafair Torchlight Parade again this year. With its vibrant warm colors, their handcrafted and assembled Ming Dynasty vessel enlivens the torchlight backdrop, sweeping you off to a divine land. The enchanting hand-painted scenery of the vessel you see coming up right behind there depicts Faloon DAPA illuminating the majestic mountains and beyond, inviting the audience to revel in the tranquil Faloon DAPA exercises. You're going to hear the drummers coming up here. They're wearing yellow Faloon DAPA practice suits. They use traditional Chinese waist drums to entertain the crowd. Look at that beautiful float. And here we have the Tian Guo Marching Band members from the Bay Area. They're also from Vancouver and Seattle. They've all come together right now to perform at the Seafair Torchlight Parade. Tian Guo in Chinese translates to celestial. And it's a reflection of the band's spiritual origins. So members of the band all share the practice of Faloon DAPA, which is a self-improvement practice that teaches the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. You saw that on some of the banners that they have on the floor. And it includes five meditation exercises. So their mission is to present the beauty of Faloon DAPA, and band members come from all ages, all walks of life and professions. Followed by the iHeart Media.
