Practitioners of Falun Dafa reported a variety of benefits, from fortified health and energy to stress relief and peace of mind.

However, Falun Dafa is different from most other qigong practices in that it goes beyond the pursuit of health and wellness to the attainment of deeper wisdom and spiritual enlightenment. The three principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance, along with the five exercises, provide the blueprint for self-improvement in the practice. Through doing the exercises and studying Mr. Li’s teachings, practitioners strive to become better people and come to new understandings of the world around them.
