We are happy to announce that the Czech Falun Dafa Association was established under the name "Association Falun Gong of the Czech Republic" and approved by the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic in Prague on Wednesday 17 July 2002.

We, the Falun Dafa practitioners in the Czech Republic and the Czech practitioners throughout the world, express herewith our heart felt gratitude to our Teacher for giving us this historic opportunity to establish a Dafa Association.

The Association was created to inform the Czech people and the people of the world about the cultivation practice of mind, body and spirit, founded on the profound moral principles of Truthfulness - Compassion – Tolerance, called Falun Gong (also Falun Dafa).
