Falun Gong, (; literally "Practice of the Wheel of Law") also known as Falun Dafa, (; lit. "Great Law of the Wheel of Law") is a system of mind and body cultivation introduced by Li Hongzhi (surname is Li) to the public in 1992. Falun Gong refers to five sets of meditation exercises (four standing, and one sitting meditation).Falun Dafa.org "The Exercises of Falun Dafa", retrieved June 23, 2006 In Zhuan Falun, the Dafa is introduced this way: “Our Falun Dafa is one of the eighty-four thousand cultivation ways in the Buddha School. During the historical period of this human civilization, it has never been made public. In a prehistoric period, however, it was once widely used to provide salvation to humankind. In this final period of Last Havoc, I am making it public again. Therefore, it is extremely precious."Hongzhi, Li. "Lecture One:Characteristics of Falun Dafa, Falundafa.org, retreived June 23, 2006 In recent years, added emphasis has been placed on the concept of Fa-Rectification.Hongzhi, Li. (December 9, 2001) "Foretelling the Fa’s Rectification of the Human World", retrieved June 23, 2006
Falun Gong has been the focus of international controversy since the government of the People's Republic of China began a nationwide suppression of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. The Chinese government claims to have banned the group for its illegal activities."China Bans Falun Gong", (July 22, 1999) People's Daily Online, retrieved June 14, 2006 The Falun Gong claims the ban was a result of President of the People's Republic of China Jiang Zemin’s personal jealousy of the group’s popularity.Falun Dafa Clearwisdom.net "Answers to Commonly Asked Questions about Falun Gong", retreived June 10, 2006 The suppression of Falun Gong is considered a human rights violation mainly by western human rights groups and politicians.
The exact number of Falun Gong practitioners is not known. A figure of 70 million practitioners was quoted in a New York Times article published April 27, 1999. According to the article, this figure was the estimate of Chinese government.Faison, Seth (April 27, 1999) "In Beijing: A Roar of Silent Protesters" New York Times, retrieved June 10, 2006 According to a statement posted on November 1, 1999 the membership estimated by Beijing was 2.1 million.Embassy of the People's Republic of China (November 1, 1999) "Falun Gong Is a Cult", retreived June 10, 2006 A main Falun Gong website states a figure of 100 million practitioners worldwide, including 70 million in China.
