    Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance


    Hi, to all
    I am a practitioner of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong, or just Dafa) is a high-level cultivation practice guided by the characteristics of the universe—Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance.
    "Cultivation" means continuously striving to better harmonize oneself with these universal principles. “Practice” refers to the exercises – five sets of easy-to-learn gentle movements and meditation. Cultivating oneself is essential; practicing the exercises supplements the process.
    Over time, the principles of Dafa unveil the deepest and most profound truths of the universe. Following the principles, practitioners of Falun Dafa are able to reach very high realms, enlightening to the true meanings of life, and finding the path of return to their origins and true selves.
    While the exercises have deep inner meanings, they also help to reduce stress and can bring great improvements in health and fitness.
    Cultivators of Falun Dafa strive to cultivate their xinxing [mind-nature, or character] and remove their attachments to become kinder, more honest and more patient people. The higher one is able to elevate xinxing, the deeper the understanding one has of the teachings presented in Zhuan Falun (Falun Dafa’s primary text).
    Falun Dafa practitioners cultivate themselves while living normally in the complex environment of secular society. People of all nationalities, races, socio-economic backgrounds, gender, ages, occupations, and different faiths are welcome to practice, and do so entirely of their own free will, at their own pace, and for as long as they choose.

    Unfortunately this method has crackdown form Chinese communist Party since 1999 till now in China. The former Chinese Communist dictator Jiang Zemin launched this persecution in July 1999. Why?
    o Jiang was jealous of Falun Gong’s popularity—by 1999, 70-100 million people were practicing in China. This outnumbered the Communist Party membership.
    o Jiang was insecure about his power, and feared losing control over people’s minds.
    o The Communist dictatorship could not tolerate any other beliefs. Falun Gong helps people gain higher morality and spiritual growth. Jiang viewed this as the biggest threat to his corrupt regime.
    In order to coerce practitioners to give up their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance, Jiang founded the 610 Office (a Gestapo-like organization), and deployed the most extreme tortures in human history.For more information, please visit these web sites:
