February 5,2001
Contra Costa County, California FEB — 6 2001
Honorable County Supervisors: CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
CONTRA COSTA CO.
On behalf of the Falun Dafa practitioners in California, I am writing to request your proclamation of a "Falun
Dafa Week" for the week of February 19th—25th, 2001.
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is a self-improvement meditation and exercise practice rooted in
ancient Chinese culture. The practice was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in 1992. It consists
of five gentle exercises, three of them are composed of gentle hand movements while the other two are a
tranquil standing and sitting meditation. The movements are simple, easy to learn and suitable for all ages. At
the core of Falun Dafa are the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance (herr, Shan,
Ren). It is primarily because of these cherished universal principles and its powerful health promoting effects -
mental, physical and spiritual - that Falun Dafa has been rapidly recognized and practiced all over the world. In
just eight years, the practice has spread to more than 40 countries with now over 100 million practitioners. The
practice has transcended cultural, ethnic, and national boundary to touch the human hearts and improved lives
everywhere. Those who practice it come from all walks of life, and all l alun Dafa activities are free of charge.
We believe Falun Dafa will bring lots of benefits and interest to the community, as it has proved so in many
other cities. A "Falun Dafa Week" «7111 be an excellent way to share Falun Dafa in our community and to give
people an opportunity to learn more about this wonderful practice. As part of the "Falun Dafa Week", we will
offer free introductory workshops including demonstrations and teaching of the exercises. A Falun Dafa Week
would do more than just bring the community together: people would leave the events with practical tools to
better their lives.
Falun Dafa has received numerous awards and recognition, including proclamations from more than 300 cities in
the United States. While people in U.S. can freely enjoy Falun Dafa's profound offerings, on the other side of the
Pacific Ocean, people in China who wish to practice Falun Dafa have been tragically denied this basic human
right. bearing the loss of totalitarian control over people's minds, China's president launched a brutal campaign
of persecution against the practice of Falun Dafa in July 1999. To date, more than 130 practitioners have been
tortured to death for remaining steadfast to their beliefs. Throughout the entire persecution, Falun Gong
practitioners have always maintained a peaceful and tolerant stance. Even under the harshest circumstances,
while facing life-threatening torture, Falun Gong practitioners have never resort to violence or retaliated against
their aggressors. They have remained true to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. Your
proclamation of "Falun Dafa Week" will show the community's humanity support to this peaceful movement
and give righteous voice for those who are not allowed for such right, as many mayors in California have done.
Should you agree to issue a proclamation fora "Falun Dafa Week," we will be deeply grateful.
I am enclosing a package with more information about Falun Dafa. I look forward to hearing back from you,
and hope to have the pleasure of meeting in person in the near future for any concerns or questions you may
have.
Most Sincerely,
Ning Hari

Falun Gong
FALUN DAFA (FALUN GONG): A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is an ancient practice for mind and body that originated in
China. The practice involves some slow, gentle movements and a meditation. It is easy to learn,
enjoyable to practice, and free of charge. A central component of Falun Gong practice is studying the
higher principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
Falun Gong is a form of what the Chinese call qigong (pronounced "chee-gong" ), a system of
exercises and teachings that deeply transform the mind and body. Like tai-chi, qigong is a vital part of
many people' s lives in Asia; almost every Chinese park is brimming at the break of dawn with people
from all walks of life practicing these arts. Owing much to its effectiveness in improving health as well
as its profound principles, Falun Gong has proven to be immensely popular throughout the entire world.
Since being introduced to the general public in 1992 by its founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, Falun Gong has
attracted 100 millions of people in over 40 nations.
The benefits of practicing Falun Gong are numerous. People typically have experienced improved
health, reduced stress, and have become more energetic. With Falun Gong' s principals of
Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, practitioners endeavor to become better citizens for the
community by gradually assimilating themselves to these universal principles.
The Books and the Exercises
The practice of Falun Gong is simple, yet profound and effective. It consists primarily of two
components: self-improvement through study of Mr. Li's teachings (as articulated in two English
language books, China Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun) and practicing Falun Gong' s five gentle
exercises. The exercises, which include a powerful sitting meditation, are easy to learn, enjoyable, and
at once both relaxing and energizing. Many students of Falun Gong enjoy doing the exercises together
in groups, as they find themselves benefiting from one another's practice. Most major US cities and
universities have several such groups. Falun Gong transcends cultural boundaries, and it has attracted
people from all walks of life.
How to Learn Falun Gong?
Everyone is welcome to learn Falun Gong. All activities are open to the public and are free of charge.
Many free workshops have been offered at bookstores, community centers, and libraries in California.
One may visit our website to find a local practice site at www.falundafa.org, or call 1-877-AT-FALUN.
Falun Gong books are also available for free download at www.falundafa.ort .

--- Steve Ispas, Marketing Manager, LSI Logic, Milpitas

benevolence, forbearance is the way to live in harmony with the whole world. "

IN CHINA: FROM ACCLAIM TO BRUTAL PERSECUTION
♦ 1992 - Public Introduction by Mr. Li Hongzhi
e 1993 —Received Awards and Recognitions
♦ 1994—Last Public Lecture in China
♦ 1998—Attracted about 70 million Chinese Practitioners
♦ 1999—Chinese Government Outlawed Falun Gong
♦ 2000— Brutal Persecution by Chinese President:
• 127 Practitioners Died Due to Police Brutality
• Over 50,000 Sent to Jail
• Over 25,000 Sent to Labor Camp without Trial
• Over 600 Abused in Mental Hospitals
Why is the Chinese government persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners?
For the Chinese Communist Party, all matters of the soul, spirit or faith are deemed superstitious
because they lie outside Marxist ideologies of materialism and atheism. Three years ago, the
Chinese government chose to ban the book Zhuan Falun, because of so-called 'superstitious'
content.
Despite their efforts against it, however, the practice continued to gain in popularity. After an
official investigation into the practice, the Chinese leadership was shocked to discover that by early
1999, an estimated 70 to 100 million people all over China were practicing Falun Dafa. This out-
numbered the Chinese communist party. Orders were immediately given to police to start harassing
practitioners, preventing them from practicing together, or threatening to lock people in jail if they
didn't pay them large sums of money. The government was beginning to consider the practice a
serious threat to their power.
In July 1999, the government branded Falun Gong a cult and outlawed the practice. Police started
ransacking people' s homes, confiscating their books, and arresting hundreds of people whom they
considered to be Falun Dafa `organizers.' Tens of thousands of practitioners were then
arbitrarily detained and mistreated since, some even tortured to death simply because they were not
willing to denounce their belief. Recently, the persecution escalated to such an extent that the
Chinese government has denounced Falun Dafa an "evil religion" and new laws were legislated
to "punish without mercy" those who were labeled "cult" . In addition to launch intensive
defamation campaign against the founder and force such propaganda down to every community and
workplace throughout the country, the Chinese government has also issued an arrest warrant and
extradite request on Mr. Li and sent smear materials internationally.
For those of us here in North America who practices Falun Dafa, the crackdown in China seems
like a terrible misunderstanding. We look at the teachings of Truthfulness, Compassion and
Forbearance and we see nothing that any government wouldn't be overjoyed to have its citizens
practice. The practice is peaceful and has no political agenda. We hope that people outside of China
will come to understand why so many people in the world feel blessed to have found Falun Dafa as
their true spiritual path.

♦ What is happening in China?
Since July 1999, mass arrests started and police brutality swept the whole country. Facing numerous
fabricated charges against Falun Gong, millions of practitioners took their concerns to the Appeal
Office in Beijing in order to present the truth to the Chinese government. However, they were not
even allowed to file an appeal. Instead, they were forcibly taken into police custody. Tens of
thousands of Falun Gong practitioners in China were sent to hard labor camps without trials or
sentenced with long prison terms. Many sane'and healthy practitioners were put into psychiatric
hospitals. Others have received various harsh punishments such as huge fines, loss of jobs, severe
torture, public humiliation, and even being beaten to death in police custody.
Up to December 2000, at least 120 Falun Gong practitioners have died in custody. Some of these
cases were widely reported by western media including:
The Wall Street Journal April 20, 2000 WEIFANG, China `Practicing Falun Gong Was a Right,
Ms. Chen Said, up to Her Last Day" By Ian Johnson, April 20, 2000 WEIFANG, China -- ••-The
day before Chen Zixiu died, her captors again demanded that she renounce her faith in Falun Dafa.
Barely conscious after repeated jolts front a cattle prod, the 58-sear-old stubbornly shook her head.
//Enraged, the local officials ordered Ifs. Chert to run barefoot in the snow. Two days of torture had
left her legs bruised and her short black hair rnatted with pus and blood, said cellntates and other
prisoners who witnessed the incident. She crawled outside, vomited and collapsed. She never-
regained consciousness, and died on Feb. 21
AP (Beijing) -- Su Gang, a 32-year-old computer engineer, was in fine health before he was sent to
the hospital on Mu)) 23•••Su died of heart failure on June 10, less than two weeks after his release,
the Hong Kong-based Information Center said. While detained in the hospital, Su was forcibly given
daily injections of nerve-damaging medicines, it said.

HUMANITARIAN SUPPORT AROUND THE WORLD
♦ House Concurrent Resolution 218 Passed on 11/18/99
The US House of Representative unanimously passed concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 218 on
Nov. 18, and the US Senate passed concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 217 on Nov. 19, to urge
China to stop its persecution of Falun Gong.
♦ U.S. State Secretary Colin Powell tells China to be tolerant, respect the law (01/24/01)
"And I would renew our condemnation of China's crackdown on Falun Gong. I would call on China
to release all of those detained or imprisoned for peacefully exercising their internationally
recognized rights to freedom of religion, freedom of belief and freedom of conscience."
♦ More than 80 Members of U.S. Congress Signed a Letter Urging President to Speak to
Chinese Leadership about the Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners (08/31/00)
"Over the past year, the human rights situation in the People's Republic of China has deteriorated
badly. Perhaps the most egregious example of the PRC government's contempt for the rights of its
own citizens has been the unrelenting campaign of repression against practitioners and defenders of
Falun Gong."
♦ UK, Italian, France, Portuguese, Irish, Sweden and Denmark members of European
Parliament (MEP) Wrote Letter to Chinese Premier in Support of Falun Gong Practitioners
(01/27/01)
"I strongly urge you Mr. Prime Minister, to ensure that independent investigations are carried out
into these allegations of torture of Zhao Ming and other Falun Gong practitioners. I also urge you to
ensure that no one is persecuted by state authorities for the expression of their peacefully held
beliefs."
♦ International Secretariat Of Amnesty International Issued News Release (12/19/00)
"Apart from the high number of deaths in custody, numerous other cases of torture or ill-treatment
by police, arbitrary detentions and unfair trials aremregularly reported. Reports indicate that in some
areas all identified Falun Gong practitioners are being systematically detained in special reform
centres. IlThe international community cannot watch silently while these gross human rights
violations are taking place. It must condemn these abuses and put pressure on China to take action
to stop them."
♦ Supporting message from Deputy Prime Minister, Canada
"An exercise system with an ancient Chinese heritage, Falun Dafa has as its aims the refinement of
both the mind and the body, using the idea of Zhen-Shan-Ren, which means `Truthfulness,
Compassion and Forbearance' ."
♦ Swedish Government is Strongly against Chinese Government's Treatment of Falun Gong
O1/( 23/01)
"The E.U. has pointed out the violations of Falun Gong practitioners' human rights in the U.N. In
Sweden's capacity as chairman of the E.U. she will actively work for the issue of the treatment of
Falun Gong members in China to be taken up again in the U.N." - Anna Lindh , Swedish Foreign
Minister

♦ Danish government will continue asking the Chinese government to stop it suppression of
Falun Gong 01/22/00)
"Like many Danish people who have signed their signatures on your appealing letter, the Danish
government does not agree on the harsh ways used by the Chinese leader in dealing with Falun
Gong. Just like what I expressed in my previous letters, the Danish government will continue
holding a bilateral dialogue with China, and together with our EU partners, ask the Chinese
government to stop the suppression of Falun Gong." - Niels Helveg. Petersen, Danish Foreign
Minister
♦ Australian Government is engaging the Chinese on human rights issues (03/28/00)
"The Embassy in Beijing and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have registered, on
numerous occasions and at senior levels, the Government's concern about the treatment of
Falungong practitioners. We have urged China to comply with its commitments under international
human rights instruments which protect peaceful expression of views, freedom of assembly and
association, and freedom of thought, conscience and religion."
♦ Austria Has Repeatedly Condemned The Detention Of Thousands Of Falun Gong
Adherents (09/15/00)
"In this institutionalized forum the EU tries to pay close attention to and urge the improvement of
the human rights situation in China. Issues in connection with Falun Gong are handled with special
priority. During the dialogue, the Falun Gong issue has been raised and we have sternly demanded
that China observe the human rights of Falun Gong practitioners."
♦ UK Politicians Support Falun Gong and Challenge the Chinese Ambassador
"The delegation expressed concern about reports of brutality and torture of Falun Gong
practitioners, particularly women. They referred to the separation of children from their parents,
detention in psychiatric hospitals as a form of punishment, deaths in custody, and threats made
against students and others living in the UK with relatives in China."
♦ A Letter from Professor in Law Nominating Mr. Li 1-lon2zhi and His Students for the 2001
Nobel Peace Prize
"I sincerely hope that the Nobel Prize Committee will award Mr. Li Hongzhi the prize for his
outstanding contributions to the world. This award will help awaken the entire world to recognize
the essence of peace -- Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance -- and help the world reach a deeper
understanding of what it really means. 1 believe that by awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Mr. Li
and his students, the Nobel Committee will help to lay a more stable and solid foundation for lasting
peace throughout the world."

TO: CONTRA COSTA BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FEB 6 2001
FROM: MARIA LAWRENCE Tel. 925.820.3400 Fax 925.820.3570 CLERK BOARD
RAOOSTACO.ISORS
This is the 3`d time that 1 appear before the board to express my concerns about conditions on Green
Valley Road. This is a 1700 foot section where NO improvements have been made. According to 1
the conditions of approval, the road is 28 feet wide and the county has a 60 foot right of way. This is
joined on the north where the street is 40 feet wide with sidewalk, curb and street lights.
The issues are:
1. Public Safety
pedestrians walking behind guardrail to get out of traffic- shoulder with 25 foot drop
2. Fire 12/30/99 response # 099006497
caused by someone parked on shoulder throwing away a cigarette
3. Massive erosion of dirt from shoulder of the road
Exposed roots of oak trees 200-300 years old
This morning I would like to share with you the view from my side. This is what I see from my yard.
The oak trees with exposed roots are immediately opposite. The rate of erosion has accelerated and I
believe these trees are not going to survive much longer.
The pictures I have today are of lots 503 and 504. The hill is at approximately 65 degree angle to the
road. The road was actually paved in the middle of the slope and a true picture would be from the
creek bed. The surface of the road is visibly higher than the shoulder. Water from rain and irrigation
runs down the hill and across the road. There is no place else for it to go.
Since the fire the county has cut back vegetation`and sprayed to eliminate growth. This has
encouraged cars to park on the dirt shoulder. The combination of traffic on the shoulder and lack of
plant roots has accelerated erosion.
In a letter from Mr.Maurice Shiu on December 18`h he said"there is no evidence of erosion caused by
rainwater falling on the road pavement." In an effort to understand how they reached their
conclusion I would like to read the report and walk the area with them. I believe the evidence
supports my conclusion.
I am asking for improvements to be made to this section. The continuation of the sidewalk on the
west side as specified in the conditions of approval. In addition, a solid barrier on the east side to
slow the rate of erosion, protect our natural resources (oak trees and creek) and prevent future fires
from easily being set by careless motorists traveling this road.
