Over 100 Canadian officials, including federal and provincial parliamentarians as well as mayors and councillors, sent greetings or issued proclamations in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Falun Dafa this week.
A total of 34 MPs from the Liberal, Conservative, and Green parties sent well-wishes to adherents of Falun Dafa via the Falun Dafa Association of Canada, either by video or in writing. The practice, also called Falun Gong, is a traditional cultivation discipline that involves meditative exercises and moral teachings based on the tenets of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. It was first introduced publicly in China on May 13, 1992, and has since spread around the world.
