Are you familiar with human rights violations and unethical organ harvesting in China?
Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong) is an ancient, traditional self-cultivation practice that aims to holistically improve both mind and body through self-reflection and meditation. It is based around the three guiding principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. Unfortunately, even though Falun Dafa is a peaceful practice that has absolutely no political agenda or interest, it is also the most heavily persecuted group in Communist China today. The following events are hosted by the College of Medicine (American Medical Student Association, as well as their Asian Club), the Honors College, Asian Pacific American Student Affairs, and Falun Dafa Club.
These events are free and open to all interested!
