What is Falun Gong?

Falun Gong—which is also referred to as Falun Dafa—is an ancient practice of mind and body refinement done through slow-moving exercises, meditation and cultivating the values of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance in oneself. These three values form the backbone of Falun Gong's philosophy. Practitioners of the discipline aspire to live by them in their daily lives, striving to achieve, over time, a state of kindness, selflessness and inner balance.

Many have called Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, the fastest-growing spiritual practice in history.

Falun Gong practitioners are found on six continents, in countries ranging from Canada to Argentina, from Sweden to South Africa, and from Turkey to the Philippines. They are from all age groups, all walks of life and many diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The Falun Gong books have been translated into 32 languages, with more translations on the way.
