To All Tri State Falun Dafa Practitioners,

I write to congratulate you on the 12^th World Falun Dafa Day on Friday, May 13, 2011, and join all Falun Dafa practitioners, their families and friends around the world in celebrating this day.

The practice of Falun Dafa and its encouragement to be thoughtful of others at all times and to be good people is needed now more than ever. Its principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance are essential elements for global peace and understanding, and they are part of our universal values.

I look forward to the day when all governments show respect for the human rights of Falun Dafa practitioners and World Falun Dafa Day is truly made a worldwide event.

Again, congratulations and have a wonderful celebration!

Sincerely,

Phil Boyle
