August 16, 2001 Falun Gong is an ancient form of qigong, the practice of refining the body and mind through special exercises and meditation.
It consists of self-improvement through studying founder Li Hongzhi's teachings, and performing five gentle exercises, including seated meditation. At the heart of the practices are the supreme principles of the universe: truthfulness, benevolence, and forbearance.
Through a combination of studying the books and performing the exercises, practitioners strive to become better people by embodying these principles in everything they do.
