The citation reads, “The House of Representatives of Pennsylvania takes great pleasure in recognizing those organizations which contribute to the benefit of their communities and ultimately to all citizens of this commonwealth.

“On May 13, 1992, in a humble schoolhouse in northern China, Mr. Li Hongzhi began teaching Falun Gong (or Falun Dafa), introducing to modern China a practice with roots extending back thousands of years. By early 1999, there were 100 million practicing Falun Gong in China alone. Falun Gong has transcended cultural and national boundaries to bring physical health, joy, and peace of mind to millions of others around the globe. On this day, the House of Representatives extends appreciation to Falun Dafa practitioners for bringing this life-enhancing ancient art to the people of the Commonwealth, celebrating truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
