What is Falun Gong or Falun Dafa? #FalunGong​ is an ancient #Chinese​ spiritual discipline in the #Buddhist​ tradition. Pronounced “Fah-loon Gong,” it consists of moral teachings, a meditation, and four gentle exercises that are a truly unique and highly effective way to improve your health and energy levels. At the core of Falun Gong are the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance (or in Chinese, Zhen □ Shan □ Ren □). Falun Dafa teaches that these are the most fundamental qualities of the universe, and takes them to be a guide for daily life and practice. In the words of Falun Gong’s founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, “assimilation to the highest qualities of the universe — Zhen 真 Shan 善 Ren 忍 — is the foundation of practice. Practice is guided by these supreme qualities, and based on the very laws which underlie the development of the cosmos.” Falun Gong is also commonly known as #FalunDafa​ By 1999, Falun Gong had grown to become the largest and fastest growing practice of the sort in Chinese if not world history. In just seven years since its 1992 introduction to the public, an estimated 100 million people were practicing Falun Gong.

It’s an early Sunday morning at Veterans Park in Otisville, upstate New York. At a time of year when the trees are still green, but the mornings start to have a slight chill in the air. People of various ages, ethnicities and backgrounds slowly begin to fill up the otherwise empty park. They move quietly into a circle. With their eyes closed, they perform graceful, slow movements following meditation music from a loud speaker placed in the middle. For the last 20 years you’ve heard journalists talking about them on the T.V. and radio. You’ve seen them holding rallies and peace protests around the world. They are practitioners of Falun Gong. Who are these people? What motivates them? And how might their struggle to expose the Chinese Communist Party have far reaching implications for all of us?
