Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is an advanced, high-level practice of mind and body. Falun means Dharma Chakra or Law Wheel and Dafa means Great Dharma. The practice has five sets of slow moving exercises, which includes meditation. The moral teachings of Falun Dafa are based on highest standards of the Universe, with the main principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. People practice the exercises and read the teachings to achieve higher states of mind, with the ultimate goal of achieving spiritual perfection.

The exercises help to cultivate the body, but emphasis is more on mind cultivation. The book, Zhuan Falun is the main book for Falun Dafa cultivation. Practitioners become more selfless by giving up unhealthy attachments, habits and desires as they practice. By practicing Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, practitioners see the trials and tribulations they encounter in a new light and as opportunities for improvement. The book Zhuan Falun and other teachings are available online and free to download at https://en.falundafa.org/falun-dafa-books.html.
