Mayor John Lampl stopped by the Falun Dafa booth and said Morrow is a diverse and vibrant community that welcomes everyone. About meditation he said its great to calm down and take a mental break. About Falun Dafa’s principles, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, Mayor Lampl said it’s great to find spiritual inspiration through beliefs, something every individual should strive to achieve. “We all make mistakes. No one is perfect. But it’s great to compare yourself to these three words when you get up in the morning and want to do better.”

Referring to the persecution of Falun Dafa in China, he said, “Any time you’re dealing with a closed regime, it’s not good. Treat people the way you want to be treated. People want to have their freedom of belief without having to worry about their families.”

Mr. Phil Davis, who lives in Jonesboro, told a practitioner, “I like this practice. I felt stiff this morning. After doing the exercises, I feel calm and relaxed, and I can now raise my hands. I’m taking eight different medicines. I’m looking forward to going to the practice site on Saturday.
