Malaysia: Falun Gong Practitioners Hold Activities to Introduce Falun Gong

Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) is an ancient form of qigong, the practise of refining the body and mind through special exercises and meditation. Like Tai Chi, qigong is a vital part of many people's lives in Asia; almost every Chinese park is brimming by the break of dawn with people practising these arts.

In just eight years since its public introduction, Falun Dafa has grown to become the most popular form of qigong ever in Chinese history. The major reason for this is that Falun Dafa distinguishes itself from other qigong practises by emphasising not only physical cultivation, but also cultivation of one's moral character in daily life according to higher principles taught by Mr. Li Hongzhi, Falun Dafa's founder.

Falun Dafa's effectiveness in improving health and its profound principles have quickly made the practise immensely popular throughout the entire world. Since being introduced to the general public in 1992 by Mr. Li, Falun Dafa has attracted tens of millions of people in over 40 countries. Most major cities and universities in the United States, Europe, Canada and Australia have English-speaking Falun Dafa practise groups.

The people who practise Falun Dafa come from every imaginable walk of life, as Falun Dafa transcends cultural, social, economic, and national boundaries. The practise has spread largely by word of mouth, as those who learn it usually find the benefits simply too good to keep to themselves. -- Source: www.falundafa.org
