From People Who Practise
Falun Gong

Falun Dafa is the guiding star of my life. It sets for me a path of self-improvement to what is important, virtuous, and kind, to live a life that is vital, meaningful, and purposeful.

– Michael, Boston

Before practicing Falun Gong, I lived a very aimless and destructive life. Dafa has helped me find purpose and want to love others. I finally found inner peace.

– Yolanda, Providence, Rhode Island

Falun Gong has taught me how to be considerate of others and how to improve my relationships by handling conflicts constructively. Above all, it has taught me how to be a truthful, compassionate, and tolerant person in life. It has given me incredible relaxation, mental clarity, and freedom from stress.
