State of Michigan

Special Tribute
To
Falun Dafa

LET IT BE KNOWN, That it is with great pleasure that we congratulate Falun Dafa on its anniversary of twenty years of practice and guidance. Since its introduction to the public, Falun Dafa has helped millions of its practitioners lead healthier, happier lives.

Falun Dafa is a special practice derived from traditional Chinese culture that combines meditation with a moral philosophy centered around Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. Falun Dafa transcends the cultural divide, bringing peace and tranquility to its followers. With its message of acceptance and harmony, Falun Dafa helps to unite people of all ages and backgrounds throughout the world and even in the great State of Michigan. It is through these ideas that the practitioners of Falun Dafa have helped to serve their communities hosting events and classes, and sharing its moral philosophy of harmony.

IN SPECIAL TRIBUTE, Therefore, we celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Falun Dafa and thank its practitioners for their contributions to our state.
