Falun Gong, Civic Center
Performed in public, practitioners of Falun Gong (or Falun Dafa) are often mistaken for people performing T'ai Chi exercises. But Falun Gong is a largely spiritual movement that incorporates Buddhist and Toaist principles along with Qigong physical exercise. Falun Gong has gained attention lately due in large part to the levels of worldwide persecution, arrest, and alleged torture they have received from the Chinese government who views the practice as a subversive cult. To promote understanding of their cause followers perform their exercises in public places around the world offering information and literature to further understanding of their goals and oppression.
