Falun Dafa Association of Greater Vancouver & Greater Victoria-Saanich
May 1, 2014
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Green Party of Canada and myself, I would like to extend sincere congratulations to the entire community as you gather this month to celebrate May 2014 as Falun Dafa Month, Honouring Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
I have a great admiration for the Falun Dafa, a set of teachings and exercises meant to improve the mind and body towards the better practice of love, compassion, tolerance, patience, and truth. I am encouraged that Falun Dafa has managed to thrive to its 22nd anniversary and wish you many more years of positive spiritual practice. However, I am only too aware that the very existence of the Falun Dafa community is under constant threat and that you must persistently fight to maintain your rights to the integrity of spirit and body. As you celebrate this joyous occasion, know that I stand with you both in celebration and in solidarity.
I wish you all the best in this joyous month and I hope to continue to learn from your pursuit of wisdom and harmony.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth May, O.C., M.P. Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands Leader of the Green Party of Canada
