Page "Falun Gong" Paragraph 11

Falun Gong aspires to enable the practitioner to ascend spiritually through moral rectitude and the practice of a set of exercises and meditation.

The three central tenets of the belief are ' Truthfulness ' ( 眞, Zhēn ), ' Compassion ' ( 善, Shàn ), and ' Forbearance ' ( 忍, Rěn ).

Together these principles are regarded as the fundamental nature of the cosmos, the criterion for differentiating right from wrong, and are held to be the highest manifestation of the Tao, or Buddhist Dharma.

Adherence to and cultivation of these virtues is regarded as a fundamental part of Falun Gong practice.

In Zhuan Falun ( 轉法輪 ), the foundational text published in 1995, Li Hongzhi writes " It doesn't matter how mankind's moral standard changes … The nature of the cosmos doesn't change, and it is the only standard for determining who's good and who's bad.

So to be a cultivator you have to take the nature of the cosmos as your guide for improving yourself .”
