The proclamation reads, “Falun Dafa practitioners in Nevada have been active in the Las Vegas and Reno communities by providing free teaching of the exercise, attending parades, and offering free art exhibitions and free workshops in public libraries with the intention of encouraging Nevadans to enjoy a healthy, harmonious, and peaceful way of being.”
“In these trying, post-pandemic times, the meditative exercise of Falun Dafa has provided many Nevadans with a natural and effective option to achieve mental clarity, stress relief, and newfound energy.”
“Falun Dafa not only provides individuals with a sense of inner calm and optimism during dire circumstances, but it also provides a profound understanding of life and the universe.”
