A brief introduction to Falun Dafa

Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is an advanced Qigong system based on ancient wisdom, which offers self-refinement of both mind and body. After practicing Falun Dafa, people have reported very rapid improvements in their physical and mental well being, as well as better relationships with others. Falun Dafa transcends cultural and racial boundaries and has touched the lives of countless people in more than 30 countries. Zhuan Falun, the main work written by its founder, Master Li Hongzhi, has been translated into many languages including English, French, German, Russian, Swedish, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese.

Falun Dafa is complete with its own system of principles and practices based on the universal principle of Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truth-Compassion-Forbearance). Since its first introduction to the public in 1992, Falun Dafa has attracted over 100 million people worldwide to learn and cultivate. It has helped people to improve their health, purify their minds, uplift their spirits, and deepen their understanding of life, humanity and the universe. It has also helped numerous young people and adults give up alcohol, drugs, violence, and other unhealthy habits to pursue a more meaningful life. The extraordinary speed with which Falun Dafa has spread is unprecedented in the history of the world.
