Officials Worldwide Celebrate Spiritual Group’s Moral Teachings
Government officials from around the world have sent letters and proclamations to commemorate the annual celebration that falls on May 13, which marks World Falun Dafa Day.
Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a spiritual discipline with slow meditative exercises and moral teachings centered on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. On this day 29 years ago, Li Hongzhi, the founder of the practice, introduced the discipline to the public in northeastern China. Li’s birthday also falls on May 13.
As a result, the date has been celebrated by Falun Gong adherents and supporters as World Dafa Day since 2000. A year earlier on July 20, the Chinese regime launched a brutal persecution against adherents in China that has continued to this day.
