Falun Dafa Day
May 13, 2009
Whereas, Falun Dafa is a system of mind and body which has ancient historical roots in oriental culture; and
Whereas, Falun Dafa's teachings have helped many people improve their health, elevate their mind, uplift their spirit and deepen their understanding of life, humanity and the universe; and
Whereas, Falun Dafa practitioners practice the principal of Zhen-Shan-Ren (truthfulness, benevolence, forbearance) and incorporate it into their daily lives, striving to become better people in all environments and situations, as well as cultivate their bodies by practicing smooth and tranquil exercises that can improve their overall physical health; and
Whereas, transcending cultural and racial boundaries, Falun Dafa has touched the lives of countless people in more than 80 countries, including many people in Canada of different ages, professions and racial backgrounds; and
Whereas, all Falun Dafa activities, including classes and practices are offered by volunteers and are open to the public free of charge;
Therefore, I, Michel Bellemare, Acting Mayor, do hereby proclaim, on behalf of Ottawa City Council, May 13, 2009 as Falun Dafa Day in the City of Ottawa, and in issuing this proclamation commend those who take part in these activities to bring healthier physical, mental and spiritual conditions to themselves and others.
