Starting as a spiritual discipline with roots dating back thousands of years to a household name during China’s 1990s, “qigong fever,” Falun Gong has become a movement that spread throughout China and around the globe, and May 13 2021, marks 29 years Falun Dafa was first brought to the public in China, and it is celebrated as World Falun Dafa Day around the world.

In Australia, the practice has attracted hundreds of followers from diverse ethnic backgrounds since its introduction in 1995  due to its emphasis on improving people’s moral compass and physical well-being and its focus on the virtues of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
