Mayoral Proclamation

Whereas, Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong is a peaceful and healthy self-improvement practice rooted in ancient Chinese culture that centers around the universal principle of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance and consists of five gentle exercises, including meditation; and

Whereas, the teachings of Falun Dafa, through meditation and spiritual cultivation, are perceived as an effective means of improving overall mental and physical health, as well as reducing stress; and

Whereas, Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, has helped hundreds of millions across the world improve their health and moral standards, as well as deepen their understanding of life, humanity and the universe, through the practice of Falun Dafa; and

Whereas, transcending culture and racial boundaries, Falun Dafa has touched the lives of more than 100 million people in over 60 countries, including many people in Wisconsin, of different ages, professions and racial backgrounds; and

Whereas, all Falun Dafa activities, including classes and practices, are offered by volunteers and are open to the public and are free of charge; and

Whereas, the persecution of the practitioners of Falun Dafa in China is an attack on basic human rights and should not be tolerated anywhere in the world;

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Mayor of the City of Madison, Wisconsin does hereby proclaim May 13, 2008, as

Falun Dafa Day
Honoring Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance

in the city of Madison.
