Falun Gong is Not an Organisation

Falun Gong, (also known as Falun Dafa) is not a formal organisation. There are no initiation or membership procedures for those who wish to practise it. People are free to come and go as they choose and all contact persons are volunteers. There is no hierarchy or structure, no obligations or formalities. It is quite possible to practise Falun Gong without meeting other practitioners. Of course, an organic network of contacts naturally forms between many practitioners, through their common interest in Falun Gong, but this is not an “organisation” The basis of Falun Gong is to improve oneself by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. This can only be achieved by the individual and has nothing to do with an organisation.
