Proclamation from Mayor Barbara J. Spaeth of the City of Mason
The proclamation reads, “Falun Dafa has transcended cultural and national boundaries to bring better health and inner peace to millions around the world, including Ohio.
“Falun Dafa is a holistic practice for improving mind and body involving slow-moving qigong exercises and adherence to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
“Volunteers in Ohio have been actively involved in the community, providing Falun Dafa exercise instruction and cultural awareness at numerous community events.
“In these trying, post-pandemic times, the meditative exercise of Falun Dafa and its health benefits offers an option to those seeking peace and healing.
“Practitioners of Falun Dafa in Ohio cherish the freedom of belief, while in China their counterparts have continued to peacefully stand up for freedom in the face of brutal persecution under the communist regime’s repression since 1999.”
