Proclamation

"Falun Dafa Day"

Honoring Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance

Whereas, Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a peaceful and healthy self-improvement practice rooted in ancient Chinese culture that consists of five gentle exercises, including meditation, and centers around the universal principal of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance; and

Whereas, the teachings of Falun Dafa, through meditation and spiritual cultivation, are perceived as an effective means of improving overall mental and physical health, as well as reducing stress; and

Whereas, Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, has helped hundreds of millions across the world improve their health and moral standards, as well as deepen their understanding of life, humanity, and the universe, through the practice of Falun Dafa; and

Whereas, transcending culture and racial boundaries, Falun Dafa has touched lives of more than 100 million people in over 60 countries, including many people in DFW, of different ages, profession, and racial backgrounds; and

Whereas, all Falun Dafa activities, including classes and practices, are offered by volunteers and are open to the public and free of charge; and

Whereas, the persecution of the practitioners of Falun Dafa in China is an attack on basic human rights and should not be tolerated anywhere in the world;

Now, Therefore, I, Pat Evans, Mayor of the City of Plano, Texas do hereby proclaim May 13, 2007 as "Falun Dafa Day" in Plano, and I do hereby encourage all citizens to be cognizant of the many benefits which can be derived from the practice of this self-improvement practice.
