What we’re about
Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong) is an advanced practice of self-cultivation based on the teachings of the Buddha School. The practice combines four gentle and slow standing exercises and sitting meditation with a moral philosophy centered on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, or in Chinese, 真 (zhen), 善 (shan), and 忍 (ren).
Falun Dafa teaches that these are the highest qualities of the universe, and that one can attain true wisdom, physical health, and a serene state of mind by assimilating into them; practitioners use these values as a guide for daily life.
On the surface level, Falun Dafa is extremely beneficial to relieving stress and achieving physical health, but healing is by far not the only positive effect of the practice. On a deeper level, it’s a cultivation system for self-betterment and removing one’s attachments and desires.
Falun Dafa emphasizes the cultivation of one’s mind, putting others before oneself, and applying the practice’s moral principles to all situations and circumstances. The goal is to achieve a state of selflessness, greater wisdom, and inner peace.
