Re: Invitation to Speak at July 15th (Friday) Rally and Grand March
Dear Chairman Wang,
Following up our earlier phone conversation, we would like to invite to give a brief remark (3-5 minutes) to our Annual Rally on Friday, July 15th, 12:45pm – 2pm at the Washington Monument. Be a witness to history during our solemn March and Rally of three thousands Falun Gong practitioners and supporters, as we raise awareness of 12-year human rights atrocities committed by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and to support 100 million Chinese awakened to their conscience and quit CCP and its affiliates in the past 6 years.
Falun Gong is a traditional spiritual practice of the Buddha school. It consists of gentle, meditative exercises and a moral philosophy centered on the tenets of “truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance”. Through practicing Falun Gong, it has brought to over 100 million practitioners in China and around the world improved health, inner peace, and a positive outlook on life.
However, as the practice grew more popular, Communist leaders feared that Falun Gong was ideological competition on account of its independence, popularity, and traditional spiritual and cultural contents. On July 20th, 1999, the CCP launched a campaign to eradicate Falun Gong through a demonized propaganda, mass imprisonment, torture, and other forms of coercive “reeducation” that resulted in over 3,400 confirmed deaths under police custody. Over 10,000 were arrested and over 100 tortured to death in the name of 2008 Beijing Olympic. Countless have gone missing, while millions are still lingering in detention centers, labor camps, and psychiatric hospitals, making them the largest group of prisoners of conscience in the world.
Since the persecution began, Falun Gong practitioners have responded to state-sanctioned violence using entirely peaceful means. Inspired by a belief in the power of truth to enliven people’s consciences and drive out hatred and violence, they have sought to educate Chinese citizens on the true nature of their spiritual practice, the persecution, and the wider history of CCP through a book called “Nine Commentaries on Communist Party”.
As a result of these efforts, in late 2004 a non-violent movement began in China to reject the violence and inequity of CCP rule and to disavow ties with CCP and its affiliates (a process called ‘Tuidang’), and to embrace hope for a free, peaceful future. This July, the registered number of participants on the Tuidang website will reach 100 million people.
We invite you to explore the enclosed package for more information about Falun Gong, Tuidang movement, and our July events. We look forward to having you on July 15th.
Sincerely,
Professor Sen Nieh

关于在7月15日（星期五）的集会和大游行上讲话的邀请
亲爱的王主席，
紧接着我们早前的电话，我们邀请您于7月15日，星期五，下午12:45点至2点在华盛顿纪念碑的年度集会上进行简短演讲（3至5分钟）。您会见证3千法轮功学员以及支持者的隆重游行和集会，以及我们12年来为了提高人民对于中共的人权暴行的认识，并支持在过去6年中1亿觉醒的中国人退党并退出其隶属组织
法轮功是一种传统的佛教流派。它包括柔和的冥想练习和一种着重于“真善美”的道德哲学。练习法轮功带给1亿个中国以及世界各地练功者健康，内心平静和积极的人生观。
但是，当法轮功越来越流行时，中共领导害怕产生意识形态上的竞争。仅在1999年7月20日，中共通过清除，关押，折磨和其他形式的“再教育”开展了大型镇压法轮功的活动，造成了超过3千400名确认的法轮功学员死亡，超过1万名学员被拘捕，超过100名因2008年北京奥运会被折磨致死。失踪的人员不计其数，还有超过百万学员仍在看守所，劳改所和精神病院，造成了世界上最大数量的意识形态的罪犯。
在迫害开始后，法轮功学员针对国家的暴力镇压用和平方式回应。法轮功学员相信真理能唤醒人民的意识，能够去改仇恨和暴力。他们开始教育中国公民他们精神联系的真实本质，他们所遭受的迫害和“九评中共”。
这些努力的结果是在2004年底，一场旨在希望建设一个自由和平的未来的非暴力的抵制暴力和要求与中共极其隶属组织划清关系的运动在中国开始。在这个7月，在退党网站上的注册人数将会达到1亿。
我们诚邀您来关注更多关于法轮功，退党运动和我们7月的活动。我们期待在7月15日见到您。

法轮功2011年7月华盛顿的组织者
