"Dafa (the Great Way) is being spread far and wide. Those who hear about it are looking for it. Those who have obtained it are delighted with it. The number of cultivators is increasing daily and becoming innumerable." In the past eight years, Master's benevolent compassion has reached the entire universe, and more and more people with predestined relationships have started practicing Falun Dafa. During these eight years, practitioners demonstrated to people around the world the universal principle of Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truth-Compassion-Tolerance) through the cultivation practice of their own. They have manifested this Dafa of the universe in our human world. Dafa awakens all living beings. Dafa purifies humankind's soul. Dafa washes away filth in the universe. And Dafa is recapturing its brilliance and splendor with human language!

The tests that have been weathered in the past year or so have established the incomparable mighty virtue for Dafa. The living beings are marveled at the perfectly harmonious and invincible Dafa. The practitioners' great compassion and tolerance, their willingness to sacrifice everything, and their immense integrity, have displayed the mighty power of Zhen-Shan-Ren in this world as well as heaven above.

In order to "assist Teacher to disseminate Dafa around the world", to help more people with predestined relationships to acquire Dafa, to let more people understand us and Dafa, and to commemorate this significant day of the entire mankind, the New York Society and Assistance Center of Falun Dafa have reached the following decision: A series of celebration activities will be held on May 13th, 2000, the first World Falun Dafa Day, and people in all walks of life are cordially welcome to participate.
