Falun Gong is

Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) is a modern Chinese spiritual/new religious movement founded by Li Hongzhi that emphasizes meditation, qigong-style exercises and moral teachings such as truthfulness, compassion and tolerance. Sources describe it as combining elements of Buddhism, Taoism and other traditions and note its practice of specific exercise sets and meditation for health and spiritual cultivation [1]. The movement gained millions of adherents in China in the 1990s and was later suppressed and banned by the Chinese government in 1999, leading to widespread reports of persecution of practitioners [1]. These descriptions identify Falun Gong primarily as a spiritual movement rather than an ethnic group, insurgency, or pro‑democracy organization.
