Check out award-winning movie "Unsilenced" at Cinéma Cineplex Forum this weekend!

Based on true events, “Unsilenced” follows Wang, a university student in Beijing, and his friends as their carefree days are shattered by the 1999 order that banned the spiritual practice Falun Gong in China. As the state churns out lies and starts brutally suppressing voices of dissent, they cross paths with Daniel, a cynical American reporter struggling to find meaning in his profession in the country he loves. With the risk of prison, torture, and even death looming over them, they must all make a choice: to go with their conscience and speak the truth, or to remain silent as atrocious crimes go on behind closed doors.

Hey everyone,

First, a (late😅) welcome back to the new semester after the year-long online classes!

For those who are interested in practicing Falun Dafa exercises, you can either join the in-person weekly practices in Chinatown, or join online at learnfalungong.com.

The in-person exercises take place every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am until 11:00am at 1099-4 Rue Clark (in Chinatown). They are hosted by Falun Dafa practitioners in Montreal, who will be able to teach you the exercises at these exercise sessions, so don't feel shy about coming because you don't know the exercises. Free & everything is provided!

For the people who are concerned about safety issues (or just don't want to go outside in the coming winter), we would like to invite you to attend online Falun Dafa exercise classes at learnfalungong.com.

We are also planning to host weekly sessions to read the teachings of Falun Dafa together, please let us know if you are interested.

Wish everyone a great semester! Please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions regarding the practice.

Falun Dafa at McGill wishes everyone a happy Chinese New Year!

新年快樂！Happy Chinese New Year! While the New Year already passed on January 1st according to the Solar calendar, many Asian countries follow the Lunar calendar, based on monthly cycles of the moon. This year, Lunar New Year falls on February 12th. According to the Chinese zodiac, where each year in a 12-year cycle is assigned an animal, 2021 is the Year of the Ox.

Similar to American Thanksgiving, Chinese New Year is a time for family and tradition, except the new year festivities last for 15 days! On New Year’s Eve, all family members reunite as one and gather together to eat home-cooked meals, such as fish or dumplings. On New Year’s Day, respects are paid to the elders of the family on the father’s side, while on the second new year’s day, respects are paid to elders on the mother's side. With more other festivities and celebrations in between, on the 15th and final day, 元宵節 (Yuan Xiao Jie) or the first full moon of the year, families gather to eat 湯圓 (tang yuan) glutinous rice balls in a sweet dessert soup.

During Chinese New Year it is auspicious to wear red, make lots of noise and set off firecrackers, clean the house, wear new clothes, and eat well. It is also tradition for married couples or elders to give children red envelopes with money to bring good fortune their way.

How will you be celebrating Chinese New Year this year? 🧧🎉🏮
