City of Penticton
British Columbia
Proclamation
Falun Dafa Month Honouring Truthfulness Compassion and Forbearance
May 2013
Whereas: Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a self-improvement practice rooted in ancient Chinese culture based on refining the body and mind through special exercises and meditation; and
Whereas: the practice of Falun Dafa is simple; it consists primarily of two components, self-improvement through study and the practice of gentle exercises; and
Whereas: Practitioners of Falun Dafa strive to live by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance in order to improve their moral nature, and in turn, to experience remarkable health benefits; and
Whereas: the practice of Falun Dafa goes beyond the pursuit of health and fitness to the goal of greater wisdom and enlightenment; and
Whereas: more and more men and women of Canada are learning the practice and purifying their hearts, energizing their bodies, and embracing peaceful, virtuous communities.
Now, Therefore I, Garry Litke, Acting Mayor of the City of Penticton, Do Hereby Proclaim May 2013 as “Falun Dafa Month”.
Acting Mayor Garry Litke
