Introduction to Falun Gong

This class is currently not meeting. Check back for updates!

Wednesdays 12.15pm-1.15pm

With Andy Ellsmore

Falun Gong is a traditional Chinese spiritual discipline that is Buddhist in nature. It consists of moral teachings,
a meditation, and four gentle exercises that resemble tai-chi and are known in Chinese culture as “qigong.”
The latter are a truly unique, and very much enjoyable, way to improve the health and condition of one’s body.

At the core of Falun Gong are the values of truth, compassion, and forbearance (or in Chinese, Zhen, Shan, Ren). Falun Dafa teaches that these are the most fundamental qualities of the universe itself, and takes them to be a guide for daily life and practice. Falun Gong is also known as “Falun Dafa.”

By 1999 Falun Gong was reported to have grown to become the largest, and fastest growing,
practice of the sort in Chinese if not world history. In just seven years since its 1992 introduction to the public,
an estimated 70 to 100 million persons in China were by then making Falun Gong a part of their daily lives.

Come learn the peaceful meditative exercises and path to your original true self weekly at For Goodness Sake with facilitator Andy Ellsmore. The class will introduce the exercises and philosophy of Falun Gong.
All ages and abilities are welcome.
