Proclamation

"Falun Dafa Month"

Whereas, the universal principles of Falun Dafa -- Truthfulness -- Benevolence -- Forbearance -- are supported by kind-hearted people around the world and have helped hundreds of Canadians improve the quality of their lives; and

Whereas, Falun Dafa promotes the cultivation of body, mind and spirit through these principles, gentle exercises and meditation, and brings its practitioners better health and higher moral standards since it was brought to the public in 1992 by Mr. Li Hongzhi; and

Whereas, Falun Dafa practitioners worldwide are joyously celebrating the 12^th Anniversary of Falun Dafa's introduction to the public on May 13^th, 2004 and will hold celebrations and festivities across Canada; and

Whereas, transcending the racial and cultural boundaries, Falun Dafa embraces people of all ages, from all walks of life and religious affiliation, and is practiced by over 100 million people in over 60 countries around the world.

Now Therefore I, Derek R. Corrigan, Mayor of Burnaby, Do Hereby Proclaim the Month of May 2004 As

"Falun Dafa Month"

In the City of Burnaby.

Derek R. Corrigan

Mayor

Dated this 26^th day of April 2004 A.D.
