Proclamation
Whereas Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is an advanced meditation exercise of mind and body, rooted in ancient Chinese culture; and
Whereas, Falun Dafa is based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion and forbearance; and
Whereas, it is a compelling discipline of exercise, meditation and study that promotes physical, spiritual and mental health; and

Whereas, the city of St. Louis recognizes the practice of Falun Dafa and those who promote improving the quality of life in positive ways for all
Now, therefore, I, Francis G. Slay, Mayor of the city of St. Louis, do hereby proclaim September 30, 2002 as:
"Falun Dafa Day"
