USA: North San Diego Celebrates Falun Dafa Week (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) On February 15, 2004, the anniversary of Teacher's
U.S. West Fa teaching, Falun Dafa practitioners from San Diego, Orange County
and Los Angeles as well as many officials and local residents gathered at the
conference room of the Public Library at the City of Carlsbad. They celebrated
the "North District of San Diego County Falun Dafa Week" to
commemorate this special day. The Mayor of Encinitas, Ms. Maggie Houlihan, said in her speech that she
began to know Falun Gong from the Christmas parade in Encinitas last year. In
that parade, Falun Gong won the third place. She said if everyone could follow
the principle of "Truthfulness Compassion Tolerance", the world and
our community would become better. She also announced the proclamation which she
personally signed. Her speech won warm applause from the audience. A
representative of Falun Gong practitioners gave her a gift consisting of a Falun
Gong book and a videotape containing a demonstration of the Falun Gong
exercises. Mayor Houlihan said she would go to the practice site to learn
exercises when she had time. During the talks with Falun Dafa practitioners, she
also asked about the details of the persecution in China and its causes. After Mayor Houlihan proclaimed Falun Dafa, the meeting announced a joint
proclamation from U.S. Congressman Randy Cunningham, State Senator Bill Morrow,
State legislator Mark Wyland, proclamation certificate from California Senator
Bill Morrow, and proclamation from Mayor of Carlsbad Mr. Claude A. Lewis.
Practitioners expressed their thanks for their support. Next, practitioners performed a demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises,
Zheng Solo, Martial Arts and dance. Their wonderful performances won warm
applause. Last, the local residents learned the five sets of exercises and wanted to
join the public practice. The practitioners were glad to see so many people
eager to learn Falun Gong.
