SAN FRANCISCO—Hundreds of practitioners of Falun Dafa, a popular meditation discipline, held a parade on May 11 in honor of World Falun Dafa Day, which is celebrated on May 13 every year.
Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, includes four standing exercises and a sitting meditation. Practitioners also study moral teachings on how to live by the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The practice has roots in ancient Chinese culture.
