(Clearwisdom.net) This book is a collection of over 600 proclamations awarded to Falun Dafa from 1992 to 2001. The proclamations were submitted by various governments and civil organizations from the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Russia, and Japan, to name a few. These honors truly reflect kind-hearted peoples commendation of Falun Dafa. And as more and more people around the world learn about Falun Dafa, especially about the evil persecution set in place in 1999 by Jiang Zemin's regime, their support and praise for Falun Dafa increases even more. Jiang's regime spreads lies far and wide in order to gain international support of its vicious persecution, but all of these pathetic attempts end up in vain. Although the Chinese government has intensified its schemes to coerce local governments and cities to rescind their proclamations, most governments at various levels, having gained an understanding of Falun Dafa, have summarily rejected these unreasonable demands from Jiang's lackeys and firmly stood on the side of justice.

Due to limitations of space, this book does not include all the proclamations.

Mr. Li Hongzhi said at the Western US Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference of Falun Dafa: "I'd also like to take this opportunity to really thank the various levels of government in the United States and Canada for the honors they've bestowed upon us and upon me. Under this special circumstance, I can't thank them individually, but I will bring them a wonderful future."

Following is a proclamation from the State of Massachusetts:
