(Clearwisdom.net) It has been seventeen years since Falun Gong was first introduced to the public, in May 1992. Falun Gong is based on the universal principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance and stresses moral upgrade. The practice has a marvelous effect on health and fitness. Over the past seventeen years, Falun Gong has been spread to 114 countries and regions. More and more practitioners of different races and ethnic backgrounds have benefited from practicing Falun Gong. Thailand, a country with a strong tradition of Buddhism, is fortunate to have Falun Dafa spreading widely here.
