City of Wilmington, Delaware, Issues Proclamation for Falun Dafa (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) On June 3, 2004, Mayor James M. Baker of Wilmington,
Delaware, issued a proclamation for Falun Dafa and hosted a ceremony in the
Mayor's Office.
The mayor reads the proclamation
A practitioner exposes the persecution in China
A practitioner shares her experiences
In his proclamation, Mayor James Baker wrote that Falun Dafa, based on the
principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance", is worthwhile for
everyone to study and embrace, yet it is being persecuted in the country where
it originated. The persecution forced the Chinese Falun Dafa practitioners to
make a choice between their spiritual belief and their homes, jobs, families and
right to education. Nevertheless, millions of Chinese practitioners persist in
cultivating Falun Dafa at the risk of their lives. The mayor also asked the
city's citizens to join him in recognizing the universal principles of
Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.
