Canadian Officials Voice Support in Celebration of Falun Dafa Day
Over 120 Canadian officials from across the country sent anniversary greetings in support of Falun Dafa on May 13, commending the faith group’s peaceful resistance against persecution in communist China since 1999, as adherents held an online event to celebrate 29 years since Falun Dafa’s introduction to the public.
Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a traditional Chinese self-improvement discipline that consists of five meditative exercises along with moral teachings centred on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The practice was first introduced to the public on May 13, 1992, by founder Li Hongzhi in China. It attracted between 70 million and 100 million adherents within just a few years as a result of its benefits to people’s health and well-being.
