Also known as Falun Dafa, Falon Gong is a form of Qigong, a system of exercises, meditations, and teachings that renew the body and mind. Falon Gong has become popular throughout the entire world since its introduction to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi. The practice is simple yet profound and effective. It consists primarily of five exercises that are easy to learn, enjoyable, relaxing and energizing. Mr. Hongzhi’s book, Zhuan Falun, downloadable free from the Internet, gives instructions and reveals the wisdom and concepts of Falun Dafa.

A study conducted about 12 years ago in China found those who practiced Falun Dafa for disease treatment had a 90 % healing rate with a 60 % total cure rate., Hongzhi states, However, “Falun Dafa is not meant for treating illnesses of others. It is to enlighten people to treasure their lives and continually improve themselves.” He also said to Time magazine, “… an ordinary person’s disease… the only way to prevent it is to improve and become a non-ordinary person.” He also tells us that the purpose of our life is to rediscover our true, original self, therefore to rid oneself of attachments, addictions and useless patterns that will manifest as illnesses.
The benefits of practicing Falun Dafa are immense and vary, from improved health to newfound energy, stress relief and peace of mind. Three of the main principles in this practice are truthfulness (to be true to yourself and others, return to your true self), compassion (to have kindness and consideration to all beings), and forbearance (to bear humbly the trials and tribulations at each stage of your growth).

The Persecution In China

In 1999 a jealous and insecure Chinese dictator, Jiang Zemin, unable to harness and control this free-flowing and widespread movement, launched a campaign of harassment against those who practiced Falun Dafa. Since 1999, 1, 600 people have been tortured to death, over 100,000 have been detained, 25,000 have been sent to labor camps, and 1,000 have been forced into mental institutions. This happened because these practitioners made peaceful appeals for freedom of belief and the right to practice their faith. This is an ongoing battle throughout the world, with many supporters from foreign lands voicing their appeals against this unjust persecution. You can voice your opinion too by letting people around you know what is happening to these practitioners, and posting your opinion at various web sites that address this issue.

The Chinese government has dedicated part of its budget to undermining Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa has been branded “an evil cult” with a massive media campaigns undermining the value of this practice. The derogatory connotation of this word alone is enough to put people on the defensive, and this has proven to be an insidious weapon against this spiritual practice. More accurately, Falun Dafa is defined as a cultivation and self-improvement practice, free to the public, and very much the opposite of a cult.

Where To Learn And Practice Falun Dafa

Practitioners lead normal lives and participate actively in their community. The practice is an individual choice and is centered on the improvement of oneself. Dafa activities are run free of charge by volunteers. There are no obligations and everyone is free to come and go as they choose.
