Background:
Falun Gong (a.k.a. Falun Dafa) is a profound cultivation system of both human nature and life. It was made public by Master Li Hongzhi in 1992. Since its introduction, it has been rapidly recognized worldwide for its great health benefit, and more importantly, for its profound teaching that guides practitioners towards higher levels and enlightenment. Today there are more than 100 million people of all ages and backgrounds in Asia, Europe, Australia and North America practicing it. In US, there are voluntary Falun Gong groups in almost all major cities and universities.
Master Li Hongzhi has held numerous classes in more than 20 cities in China, and has given many public lectures in Hongkong, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, and America.
Five Sets of Exercises:
Falun Gong has five sets of exercises. The movements are elegant, smooth, and peaceful, and are easy to learn and good for all ages. While the first four exercises are to be practiced while standing, the last one is sitting meditation in nature. The time, location and frequency for doing these exercises are flexible; thus it is ideal for modern people with a busy lifestyle.
Profound Principles:
Practitioners of Falun Gong are guided by profound and enlightening principles. Two major works of Master Li expounding the supreme characteristic of the universe Zhen, Shan, Ren (Truth, Compassion, Forbearance) are "Falun Gong'' and "Zhuan Falun'' , which have been translated into more than 10 languages including English. The book "Falun Gong" is recommended for the beginners.
Basic Requirements:
Strictly required by Master Li, all Falun Gong activities are FREE OF CHARGE (no fees, no donations), OPEN TO THE PUBLIC (people from all cultures, religions, races, nations and societies are welcome), PURE (free from any political, religious, and commercial motivations) and VIRTUOUS (taking the Fa --- Zhen, Shan, Ren as the Master, not for personal fame and gain).
