5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding guide for improvement, September 9, 2001

This review is from: Essentials for Further Advancement: A Falun Gong Practitioner's Guide (Paperback)

I have practiced Falun Gong for one and a half years now, and now matter how many times I have read this book, I learn something new.

It really makes you explore your inner self and grow as a person. I find it is an eaiser read than the main text of Falun Gong, Zhuan Falun, because these are shorter articles and poems written by Master Li that really hit the point home in a summarized fashion.

However, I recommend newcomers to read the main text, Zhuan Falun, first before reading this one as there is more information in Zhuan Falun to build an initial level of understanding.

I cannot speak highly enough about the practice of Falun Dafa (Falun Gong). It has transformed my life in so many ways. To read the works of Mr. Li Hongzhi with an open mind and an open heart is truly a precious opportunity. Best wishes!

Like every other title released by Master Li Hongzhi, this book is valuable to Falun Gong practitioners and anyone interested in practising Falun Gong. Not only has Master Li given us such a precious gem as Zhuan Falun but he has also released supplementary titles such as this in order to help us improve & better follow the principles of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance. Mere words cannot express the value of this book and other Falun Dafa books ... I and many others have benefitted immensly from Falun Gong and I sincerely hope that others may beneifit as I have (and many other have) from the practice :-)

Recently an uncle of mine has taken up the practice he has been suffering from a serious illness. Only after 1 week of practice he told me that his health has improved greatly and many of the painful symptoms of his illness have been reduced. This is only aa small part of the benefit my uncle has gained from the practice. I only hope that many more people can benefit from Falun Gong like my family and I have :-)

I am really surprised to see any negative reviews of Falun dafa books as what I have personally and many others have gained from practising Falun Gong has been nothing short of wonderful and its a shame to see someone dismiss the practice without actually experiencing it.
