<P align=left>Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a tradidional Chinese sacred practice in the Buddhist tradition and consists of moral teachings a sitting meditation, and four simple exercises that are a truly distinctive and highly effective way to improve your well being and vitality levels. Please type the phrase on the Google search engine for additional facts: An Introduction to Falun Gong.</P>
<P align=left>At the core of Falun Gong are the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance (or in Chinese, Zhen ē Shan å Ren åæ). Falun Dafa instructs that these are the essential nature of the universe and takes them to be a guide for everyday life and practice . </P>
<P align=left>In 1998, to determine the health benefits of Falun Gong, a survey was conducted among Falun Gong practitioners in five districts in Beijing, with 12,731 valid questionnaires. The results show that Falun Gongās healing rate from illness is 99.1% with a cure rate of 58.5%; Improvement rate is 80.3% in physical health and 96.5% in mental health . The study indicates that Falun Gong has a significant effect in disease healing and health elevation. Falun Gong is a remarkable Qi-gong practice that benefits people both physically and mentally.</P>
<P align=left>The health and wellness benefits of Falun Gong have been witnessed by people around the world, while the practice continues to grow in 114 countries. It has been welcomed by governments. But yet, in the country of its origin where it was presented to the public in 1992, it has beenill-treated .</P>
<P align=left>In July 1999, Falun Gong became state opponent number one in China. A paranoid dictator's fear of Falun Gong's exponential growth resulted in intense jealousy of Falun Gongās popularity . Since the beginning of the persecution , many practitioners have been sent to āreform through labourā camps, where they are starved , beaten, and tortured with electric batons. By 2008, there were over 3,000 registered cases of practitioners who were killed as a result of the state-run persecution . Increasingly, solid proof iimplies many more, at least 60,000 until several years ago, have been targeted</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>as involuntary donors of kidneys, livers, and hearts. </P>
<P align=left>To understand the severity of this situation, let me give a small analogy : Imagine you practiced yoga in India and one fine day you were kidnapped and put into jail for practicing it. Then you were persecuted and forced to stop practicing. Then, when you refused to stop since it has given you only good things, you were put through more torture and denied meeting with your family members, who did not know where you were. No court would take your case. You were put through physical and mental harassment and then subjected to the worst crime of all: Your organs, having been tissue typed, were against your willremoved from your body, to be sold at a high price to wealthy Chinese or overseas patients. You die from this process. And this was all done by the government of your own country. This is unfortunately happening in China right now to Falun Gong practitioners, whose only crime is an following the principles of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance. </P>
<P align=left>Please help raise understanding about this brutal torture and indiscriminate killing among your family and friends.</P>
