Watch us on Channel 34 Newsin Spanish (Real Player Required) [See Translations Below]

Spanish to English translation from Channel 34: "¡K from east Los Angeles, thank you for accompanying us in this broadcast of the Mexican Independence Parade. And look here, it is very, very interesting Rolando, I am speaking of Rolando ¡K our commentator, speaking for you about our parade that is so important. And right there, other cultures, Is that so?, that are joining in this diversity, everyone is enjoying this day that is so important for all the Mexicans that are with us.

And do you know what Gavi? I have to say this, this is my fourth year broadcasting this Mexican Independence parade, and never, in the, at least in the last 3 years in which I have been present in the broadcast of Univision 34, have I seen the participation of other cultures in this Mexican Independence parade. That's good, they are welcome, of course we are talking precisely about the cultural diversity that we have.

And this, and they are, note this, and this is Falun Dafa, let's say that it is a type of smooth exercises, meditation, and they, what they are looking for is the truth, and look, what is very interesting¡K what is compassion, truth and health for everyone, to have complete well being. Falun Dafa, there you have it. I think that they truly realize exercises daily and weekly in workshops where everyone can attend to freely learn this discipline without any charge. Now this is a yellow band ¡K.. from ancient China, they are Chinese, clearly. Yes, legitimately for this to find a balance in life. But I like ¡K.

Look at this picture, precisely what we just got through seeing an instant ago of these two young ladies, descendents obviously of China, lifting the Mexican flag as a symbol of respect and of unison and to say that we are here with you the Mexicans, and we also celebrate greatly this parade.

Meditation, the fan, and the lotus, are of course their symbols¡K. very important ones, look how beautiful¡K.

A true art, Falun Dafa, the ancient practice of healing the spirit and the body, this is what the float is saying allegorically.

This is something that is totally different for many of us Mexicans, Latino Americans. And something, that in spite of being fashionable in recent years, such as mediation, yoga¡K
