English version of Zhuan Falun
Hong Jiang, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin - Madison said when interviewed, Zhuan Falun by Li Hongzhi. Falun means law wheel, and law here refers to the three principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. The book contains teachings based on these principles and it was very popular in China until it was banned. An understanding of the book helps me to conduct myself in a more truthful way and to be compassionate and tolerant of other people. It also has healing applications so you experience better health, too."
