法輪大法（又稱法輪功）是由李洪志先生創編的佛家上乘修煉大法，同化 「真、善、忍」，按照宇宙演化原理而修煉，修的是大法大道。
法輪大法與其他氣功最大的不同點在於，它是一套完整的性命雙修的修煉方法。修性即修煉心性，是長功的關鍵，而修煉過程就是不斷的去人的執著心的過程。修命的部分即煉動作。總共五套功法，既修又煉。
法輪大法圓融明慧，動作簡練，大道至簡至易。
The five exercises of Falun Dafa are gentle, slow, and easy to learn. There are four standing exercises, and the fifth one is a meditation exercise. They are easy to learn because they don’t have complicated hand or leg movements (unlike Yoga for example). Though the exercises movements themselves are simple, some do test one’s tolerance and perseverance by requiring one to stay in a stagnant position for a long period of time. Do not worry, it takes a lot of practice.
The five exercises vary in their length, from 10 minutes to one hour. One of Falun Gong’s advantages is that the exercises are flexible and suitable to anyone’s schedule. You can practice a long time if you have time, or practice some of the five if you have a tight schedule. It’s entirely up to you.
All the demonstrations for the five exercises are available online (video).

Learning Falun Dafa is easy. The practice is simple, powerful, and absolutely free. The main principles of Falun Dafa are explained in their entirety in the book Zhuan Falun, and in the beginner’s text, Falun Gong. As you become more familiar with the practice, you will realize that reading, understanding, and applying the learned principles are as important as practicing the physical exercises. And always feel free to ask Falun Gong practitioners about things that are unclear to you.
We recommend that you first read through China Falun Gongwhich is an introductory book that was used when Falun Gong was first brought to the public in China in 1992. Then read Zhuan Falun, which is the complete and systematic teaching of Falun Gong.
