                         Tuesday, March 5, 2013

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Shen 
Yun Performing Arts' upcoming visit to the tri-state area and the 
company's significant contributions to the advancement of the arts in 
the Philadelphia area.
  Reviving the essence of 5000 years of Chinese culture, Shen Yun is a 
world-class dance company that has performed in cities across the 
United States and abroad. The company's performers practice the Falun 
Dafa spiritual discipline and are hosted by local Falun Dafa 
Associations around the world. Founded in 2006, Shen Yun has graced 
many of the world's greatest stages in its short tenure, including 
Lincoln Center in New York City, The Kennedy Center in D.C., Royal 
Festival Hall in London, and Le Palais de Congres in Paris.
  Philadelphia has been blessed with a vibrant and active Chinese 
community, one that has been bettered through the contributions of Shen 
Yun. I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues help me in 
honoring Shen Yun and their upcoming trip to the Philadelphia area. I 
am thrilled that my community will be able to enjoy the beauty of this 
dance company in the upcoming months.
