Li Hongzhi introduced the Teachings of Falun Gong to the public in Changchun, China in 1992. The teachings cover a wide range of topics ranging from spiritual, scientific and moral to metaphysical. Since its inception, Falun Gong has been one of the fastest growing ''qigong'' (Pinyin: qìgōng) schools in Chinese history. The teachings of Falun Gong are based on the principles of ''zhēn'' 眞, ''shàn'' 善 and ''rěn'' 忍 (which translate approximately as truthfulness, benevolence, and forbearance)〔Zhuan Falun, (Zhuan Falun ), accessed 31/12/07〕 articulated in the two main books ''Falun Gong''〔(Falun Gong ), Li Hongzhi, free online copy of English version, 5th Translation Edition, July 2006〕 and ''Zhuan Falun''.〔(Zhuan Falun. Turning the Law Wheel ), Li Hongzhi, free online copy of English version, draft translation edition (Feb. 2003, North America)〕 ''Falun Gong'' is an introductory book that discusses ''qigong'', introduces the aforementioned principles, and provides illustrations and explanations of exercises for meditation. ''Zhuan Falun'' is considered the central and most comprehensive exposition on the teachings of Falun Gong. According to the book ''Falun Gong'', "Fǎlún" (Buddha Fǎ) is a great, high-level cultivation way of the Buddha School (different from Buddhism), in which assimilation to the supreme nature of the universe, ''Zhen-Shan-Ren'', is the foundation of cultivation practice."〔(Chapter One, The Great Consummation Way of Falun Dafa ), Li Hongzhi, November 13, 1996, retrieved July 4, 2007〕 In this concept, "cultivation" refers to upgrading one's xīnxìng (mind-nature) through abandoning negative attachments and assimilating oneself to "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance". "Practice" refers to the five meditative exercises that are said to purify and transform one's body. Cultivation is considered essential, and the exercises are said to supplement the process of improving oneself.〔Why Doesn’t Your Gong Increase With Your Practice?, (Zhuan Falun ), accessed 31/12/07〕〔Qigong Is Cultivation Practice, (Zhuan Falun ), accessed 2007-12-31〕 Some aspects of Falun Gong's teachings are considered implausible and peculiar by observers, and Falun Gong's conservative and moralistic views on subjects such as sexuality have attracted controversy. ==Influences== ''See also Theoretical background and History of Falun Gong 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teachings of Falun Gong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
