Falun Dafa (Falun Gong)
is
an ancient form of qigong, the practice of refining the body and
mind through special exercises and meditation. Like tai chi, qigong
is a vital part of many people's lives in Asia; almost every Chinese park
is brimming by the break of dawn with people practicing these arts. In
just eight years since its public introduction, Falun Dafa has grown to
become the most popular form of qigong ever in Chinese history. The
major reason for this is that Falun Dafa distinguishes itself from other
qigong practices by emphasizing not only physical cultivation, but
also cultivation of one's moral character in daily life according to
higher principles taught by Mr. Li Hongzhi, Falun Dafa's founder. Falun
Dafa has attracted tens of millions of people in over 70 countries. |
