Falun Gong is a traditional Chinese spiritual discipline that is Buddhist in nature. It consists of moral teachings for daily life, a meditation, and four gentle exercises. At the core of Falun Gong are the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. It is always taught free of charge and is practiced in over 70 countries.
Today, in Falun Gong's homeland of China, those who practice are subject to severe human rights violations at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. The scale and scope of abuses taking place make it possibly the largest religious persecution in the world.
