MTSTP CollegeSnaps: University of Maryland, College Park Edition

5/25/2016

Hello Everyone,

Today, continuing the MTSTP CollegeSnaps Episodes, I ventured over to the University of Maryland, College Park.

First of all, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, which made the UMD campus that much more beautiful in spring/summer.

As far as the students, most had probably already gone home for the summer. However, there did seem to be a bit of a hustle and bustle among the students still around, which gives me the impression that the summer semester had already begun.

I also spotted a few graduates snapping pics out on the lawn in full cap and gown.

One totally unexpected surprise was running into a farmer’s market right in the middle of campus. I purchased a pink lady (apple) as a snack.

Lastly, I came across this cool “big turtle” statue. Just kidding Maryland student and grads, I know his name is Testudos the mighty Terrapin:).

Hello Everyone,

Today, May 13 is the 17th World Falun Dafa Day and the 24th anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction. It is also the birthday of Falun Gong founder Master Li Hongzhi. Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) practitioners across the world celebrate World Falun Dafa Day every year and appreciate Master Li for the public introduction of the practice.

Despite ongoing persecution by the communist authorities in China, Falun Gong has been welcomed in dozens of countries worldwide.

To celebrate World Falun Dafa Day, Music To Stop The Persecution and the MTSTP Blog present this photo gallery of some of this year’s celebrations from around the world.
