A cultivation way for mind and body
Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is based on ancient Chinese traditions of health and self-improvement. The perfectioning and refinement of mind and body is also called cultivation.
The principles of Falun Dafa
At the core of Falun Gong are the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance (or in Chinese, Zhen 真 Shan 善 Ren 忍) and practioners take them to be a guide for daily life and practice.
Assimilation to the highest qualities of the universe—Zhen, Shan, Ren (Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance)—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.
- Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Dafa
