Germany: Falun Gong Added to Park Exercise Project in Lunen

Sept. 16, 2018 |   By a Falun Gong practitioner in Germany

(Minghui.org) The Lunen City website has posted an introduction to Falun Gong, and recommends that residents try the meditation practice from the East.

Located in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of western Germany, Lunen is surrounded by trees. The municipal sports department has established a project called “Exercise in the Park,” in which volunteers lead people to exercise in the city’s parks every day.

Since last summer, Falun Gong practitioners have taught the exercises in a park every Sunday free of charge. This qigong practice is now included in the “Exercise in the Park” project.

Falun Gong is a practice based on the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and consists of four gentle standing exercises, and a sitting meditation.
