Vlad Luchansky of Marlton practices Falun Gong while bundled up on a cold February morning in Cooper River Park in Pennsauken. A group of Falun Gong practitioners gather at the park every Saturday morning, regardless of weather.

A basket of "Falun Dafa' leaflets sits by a tree for passers-by to take as a group of practitioners meditate at Cooper River Park.

Dr. Jingduan Yang explains the tenets of Falun Gong as the group meditates.
