(Clearwisdom.net) New York State Senate Proclamation In Honor of World Falun Dafa Day Whereas: Since it was first introduced to the public in
1992 in China, the practice of Falun Dafa has encouraged its practitioners to
live in accord to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. Whereas, I am delighted to recognize the 8th
Annual Falun Dafa Day, a historic event that will help create awareness about
the many unique traditions and diverse cultures that exist in New York State;
and Whereas, Falun Dafa is a special program of exercises and
meditation that improve energy circulation in the body and emphasizes the
cultivation of moral character through understanding the principles of
Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, and since its introduction to the public
in 1992 by Mr. Li Hongzhi, it has been practiced by more than 100 million people
in 60 nations; and Whereas, the special program has helped people throughout
the world, including many in New York State, to improve their health, uplift
their spirits, and deepen their appreciation of life and humanity; and Whereas, the campaign to eradicate Falun Gong that began
in 1999 has caused tremendous suffering of its practitioners through violence
and brutality against innocent practitioners; and Whereas, since 1999 thousands of Falun Gong practitioners
have been taken from their homes, brutally tortured, imprisoned in China's
Laogai, and even killed; and Whereas, we commemorate the suffering and to celebrate
the courage of Falun Gong Practitioners who are worthy of our highest respect
and esteem; now, therefore, be it Resolved, that I, State Senator Rev. Ruben Diaz, Sr.,
celebrate the 8th Annual World Falun Dafa Day in Union Square Park in
