On Valsavarenche Vale, 2,000 kilometres above sea level, Falun Gong practitioners joined the "Healing of Mother Earth" event at the invitation of the "Where Eagles Fly" Association. Many Italian citizens gathered amidst breathtaking mountain scenery to watch the lotus dance performed by practitioners, and learn the five sets of Falun Gong exercises. A lot of pre-destined people came to read Zhuan Falun [the main text of Falun Dafa], learn the exercises and attend introductory classes to learn about Falun Gong. Anna, the activity organiser, expressed her gratitude to practitioners: “We will never forget the picture of these lotus flowers in full bloom on this snow-crested mountain.”
