Evening Gazette, UK: Shopping Is A Spiritual Affair
November 18, 2003
Shoppers in Middlesbrough have been introduced to an ancient spiritual
practice. A small crowd of people arrived at Captain Cook Square to demonstrate Falun
Gong, also known as Falun Dafa. Described by [practitioners] as a spiritual
movement, Falun Gong works to reform the body and mind, improving the moral and
spiritual well being of people who repeat the five movements. Computer programmer Lei Song, 28, from Middlesbrough, was among the team of
people who appeared at the shopping centre. He said: "[...] in China you
used to see people practising in the park in the morning. "It improves the body and soul and it is easy to learn and follow." The movement first emerged in China in 1992 under the teaching of Li Hongzhi,
but was banned by the government in 1999. * For more information go to www.falundafa.org.uk
