Falun Gong

Falun Gong or Falun Dafa is a religion introduced to the China public in 1992. It is a high-level cultivation practice guided by the characteristics of the universe: Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance. Cultivation means continually striving to better harmonize oneself with these universal principles. There are five sets of exercises with easy-to-learn gentle movements and meditation.

"Over time, the principles of Dafa unveil the deepest and most profound truths of the universe. Following the principles, practitioners of Falun Dafa are able to reach very high realms, enlightening to the true meanings of life, and finding the path of return to their origins and true selves.

While the exercises have deep inner meanings, they also help to reduce stress and can bring great improvements in health and fitness."

The religion has a long history following the passing of teachings for many generations. The religion is practiced today by more than 100 million people in 80 countries.



I personally found it really interesting and although I'm not interested in the teachings I found the exercises relaxing and very simple to learn. Also, there is 80%increase in better physical health and 98% increase in better mental health.
