What is Falun Gong?
It is a spiritual meditative discipline that includes five qi gong-like exercises, as well as teachings focused on three fundamental principles: Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
A brief history
Falun Gong (Dafa) has ancient roots and stems from a long Chinese tradition of spiritual cultivation. However, in its current form, it was not made public until 1992 and quickly gained popularity.
You may have heard that Falun Dafa practitioners are persecuted in China today. This began in 1999, when tens of millions of people practiced Falun Dafa meditation in parks throughout China. The Chinese Communist Party feared the popularity of this discipline as an independent ideology outside the authorities’ control. Therefore, the party launched a nationwide persecution campaign in an attempt to eliminate Falun Dafa. However, after more than two decades of torture, imprisonment and mass killings, these Chinese spiritual seekers have remained steadfast in their faith and continue to resist nonviolently.
Falun Dafa’s belief system and values offer an opportunity for spiritual development, while Falun Dafa exercises cleanse and strengthen the body. Falun Dafa’s teachings encourage people to abandon unhealthy attachments and align their lives with the fundamental qualities of the universe: Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
People who practice Falun Dafa often feel that it has changed their lives. Many experience remarkable health benefits, as well as renewed energy, mental clarity and an ability to cope with stress. More importantly, many believe that they have found a deeply fulfilling spiritual path in Falun Dafa.
