Whereas, Falun Dafa is an ancient spiritual practice with a philosophy of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance which inspires in its practitioners a reverence for these universal principals and a wish to remove their attachments to become kinder, more honest and more patient people; and

Whereas, Falun Dafa awakens among Chinese practitioners a deep appreciation for the traditional values and culture of their homeland which are extraordinarily rich, having gone through some 5,000 years of refinement, which sadly have been oppressed in China under communism; and

Whereas, Falun Dafa is practiced in more than 100 countries around the world; and

Whereas, Falun Dafa practitioners in Utah note stress reduction, health improvement and spiritual growth; and

Whereas, numerous practitioners of Falun Dafa are or have been persecuted in China for their beliefs, including three currently living in Utah; and

Whereas, July 20, 2011 will mark the 12^th anniversary of the Chinese Communist regime’s on-going persecution of Falun Dafa

Now, Therefore, I, Ralph Becker, as Mayor of Salt Lake City do hereby declare May 13, 2011 as

Falun Dafa Day

And ask all citizens of Salt Lake City to join me learning and understanding more regarding Truth, Compassion and Tolerance.
