[Minghui.org] Korean Calligrapher: Falun Dafa Is My “Map of Life”

 Feb. 19, 2025 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in South Korea

“By reading Zhuan Falun, I was able to review the path of my life during which I previously tried various methods in my search for the answers to life,” Jisan said. “After reading Zhuan Falun, I gradually let go of my attachment to seeking recognition from others and proving the capabilities that I developed during my teaching career. I quit drinking and my health improved.”

(Minghui.org) “How could someone like me, who’s been interested in cultivation practices since childhood, only encounter Falun Dafa when I was 60?” said Mr. Han Jisan.

Mr. Han Jisan, 64, is a calligrapher and scholar who has given lectures on calligraphy and published books. Mr. Han graduated from the College of Fine Arts, Hongik University in South Korea. He fell in love with calligraphy. For more than 30 years, he dedicated himself to refining his craft and hoped his calligraphy enriched others. Mr. Han had been interested in following a spiritual practice since childhood and tried various ways in his quest for spiritual improvement. After a long period of wandering, Mr. Han finally found Falun Dafa. He said Falun Dafa gave him a “map of life.”

Mr. Han Jisan said Falun Dafa pointed out a new direction for his life.

Confused About Life

Jisan has been interested in “invisible worlds” since he was a child. He came into contact with Christianity when he was 7, and read various Christian-related books including the Bible. But the books didn’t answer his questions about life. Instead, the more he read, the more questions he had. When he looked up at the vast sky, he wondered: “When a person dies does he go to the stars in the sky?” Seeking an answer to his questions, he spent a lot of time pondering and meditating.

He read books related to Buddhism when he was a teenager and was fascinated by Zen Buddhism from his college years to his 40s. He was also interested in traditional oriental thought, numerology, philosophy, Chinese medicine, Feng Shui, acupuncture, qigong treatment, etc.

Predestined Relationship

Before he was 30 in the early 1990s, Jisan quit his job and focused on calligraphy. After studying for a year he opened a calligraphy academy and has since written books on calligraphy and given online lectures. He started a YouTube channel in 2016 to share calligraphy-related content, and through this channel, he found Falun Dafa.

Around 2021, a man who saw the content on his YouTube channel asked to meet him. Jisan often met his subscribers, so he accepted the request and invited the man to his home. They chatted for eight hours. The man talked about a lot of things and Jisan listened attentively. When he mentioned Zhuan Falun Jisan thought the title referred to Buddhas’s teachings. The man said that Zhuan Falun is the title of the main book of Falun Dafa, which he practiced, and he explained more about Falun Dafa.

Determined to Practice

After they talked Mr. Han searched the Internet for more information about Falun Dafa. He started to read Zhuan Falun online and watched the exercise videos. He initially was only interested in learning more about Falun Dafa, but after he saw a practitioner do the exercises he decided to begin practicing.

Insadong is a famous tourist attraction in Seoul. It features tea houses, restaurants, and shops that sell traditional products such as ceramics, tea, and handmade Korean paper. Jisan often went there and recalled seeing a Falun Dafa practitioner doing the exercises near Anguk Subway Station. Even though he was on an extremely busy street, the practitioner was so calm and peaceful, as if he was insulated from the noise around him and in another world.

He was determined to seriously learn about Falun Dafa. So he went to the Tianti Bookstore, located in Samgakji in Seoul, bought a copy of Zhuan Falun, and began to practice.

Zhuan Falun Is My “Map of Life”

“By reading Zhuan Falun, I was able to review the path of my life during which I previously tried various methods in my search for the answers to life,” Jisan said. “After reading Zhuan Falun, I gradually let go of my attachment to seeking recognition from others and proving the capabilities that I developed during my teaching career. I quit drinking and my health improved.”

He said, “Falun Dafa pointed out my ‘map of life,’ a very clear map about where I’m from, where I am now, and where I should go. I no longer waste time being distracted by countless temptations—like a bug attracted to fire. Because I now understand cultivating oneself means letting go of various attachments, it’s easier for me to walk on an upright path. I also gained the courage to face life’s twists and turns and tests.”

Jisan also said that his perspective on pain changed after he began practicing. He no longer avoids suffering—instead, he now realizes he’s paying off debts he owed from past lifetimes. He said happiness and joy are fleeting—like sand trickling through one’s fingers. You don’t get it by pursuing it hard. It comes naturally after you gradually let go of desires and attachments one by one.

Jisan’s wife also began to practice Falun Dafa. Jisan said with a smile, “This is also a great blessing.” His wife seldom praises others. But after he began practicing, she saw he quit smoking. He diligently practiced the exercises every day. She praised him and told their friends and family his positive changes were “amazing.”

Jisan’s life changed dramatically after he started practicing, so when he met people, he naturally told them about Falun Dafa. More than 10 people began practicing so far.

[Minghui.org] A South Korean Ph.D. Takes Up Falun Dafa

 Feb. 15, 2025 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in South Korea

Before she began practicing Falun Dafa, Dr. Kim said she could never imagine going out in the freezing cold before dawn. However, once she began practicing, she started waking up at 4:30 a.m. to do the exercises. She used to be exhausted after work, but now she feels revitalized. Even the post-surgery complications from her breast cancer operation disappeared. She can now eat foods she once avoided, such as ice cream and cold drinks.

(Minghui.org) Dr. Kim Hyun-jin, an organic chemistry Ph.D. in Busan, practices the Falun Dafa exercises every day from 10 a.m. to noon at a public square on Dongbaek Island in Haeundae, Busan. Regardless of the weather, she demonstrates the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises accompanied by the practice’s gentle music. Having practiced Falun Dafa for 17 years, this has become an essential part of her daily routine.

Finding Answers to Life

Dr. Kim worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the U.S. and later became a university professor in Korea. Born into a wealthy family, she never lacked for anything but she constantly questioned the purpose of life. Unable to find an answer, she felt lost and had a sense of emptiness.

To seek clarity, she made numerous efforts, including daily 30-minute meditation sessions during her research work. However, the void remained. She even considered becoming a Buddhist nun and visited Donghak Temple in Daejeon, but ultimately left, still searching for answers.

Zhuan Falun Is Amazing

After reading Zhuan Falun, Falun Dafa’s main text, Dr. Kim found the answer. She said, “As a scientist, how Zhuan Falun explains the universe deeply resonated with me. I realized that the smallest fundamental substances forming the universe also embody the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance. When people live by these principles, they align with the universe and naturally experience inner peace and stability.”

After reading Zhuan Falun twice, Dr. Kim was convinced that practicing Falun Dafa was the key to understanding life. She found answers to why humans exist, where they are ultimately headed, and how spiritual improvement leads to enlightenment.

Her Daughter’s Eyes Recover

Dr. Kim’s daughter suffered from severe amblyopia (lazy eye), and her tutor told them about Falun Dafa.

She recalled, “I remember reading a flyer that said Falun Dafa opens all energy channels in the body, absorbs cosmic energy, and purifies the body rapidly. If what the flyer said was true, then Falun Dafa was truly remarkable.”

Intrigued, she visited the Korean Falun Dafa website (ko.falundafa.org) to learn the exercises and purchased Zhuan Falun. Within a month, her daughter’s eyesight was restored to normal. Her daughter diligently read Zhuan Falun with her mother and practiced the exercises every day.

A Renewed Life

Before she began practicing Falun Dafa, Dr. Kim said she could never imagine going out in the freezing cold before dawn. However, once she began practicing, she started waking up at 4:30 a.m. to do the exercises. She used to be exhausted after work, but now she feels revitalized. Even the post-surgery complications from her breast cancer operation disappeared. She can now eat foods she once avoided, such as ice cream and cold drinks.

Spiritually, she felt much lighter. “Following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance keeps my mind steady and strengthens my willpower. In cultivation, I learned that when I let go of attachments, my body also improves.” She added, “Before, I struggled with resentment. But once I truly let go of that feeling, I noticed my once tense body relaxed. Letting go of resentment led to tangible physical changes.”

Dr. Kim is respected by her family, who witnessed her transformation firsthand. She believes that moral elevation is the most significant improvement she gained from practicing. “Sincerity, kindness, and perseverance through hardships lead to a higher realm of understanding.”

[Clearwisdom.net] I Obtained a Second Life After Finding Falun Gong (Photo)

 July 20, 2011 | By Dexiang, Clearwisdom correspondent from Washington, DC

Her husband, Lee Jong Dae, was a cancer patient, and his cancer was cured soon after the couple started cultivating. Her diabetes disappeared, and both are enjoying good health in mind and body. 

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Pak Im Soon, dressed in a traditional Korean outfit said to me, “I obtained a second life after I found Falun Gong. Thank you, Master!” She was so happy that she joined the grand parade protesting 12 years of persecution in Washington, DC, on July 15, 2011. She began cultivation only five months ago and thinks that Falun Gong is miraculous. Her husband, Lee Jong Dae, was a cancer patient, and his cancer was cured soon after the couple started cultivating. Her diabetes disappeared, and both are enjoying good health in mind and body. 

Mr. Lee Jong Dae and his wife, Pak Im Soon, during the DC parade on July 15 

More than 2500 Falun Gong practitioners gathered in Washington, DC, and held a large-scale parade and rally on July 15, 2011, to “Disintegrate the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong, and Support 100 Million Chinese Who Have Quit the CCP and Its Affiliations.” They protested the CCP’s cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. 

Seeing so many fellow practitioners from around the world, Ms. Pak was very excited. She said that when she and her husband saw a Shen Yun Performing Arts show five months ago, she felt that she was on top of the clouds. Her husband said the anti-cancer drugs were not working, and cultivating Falun Gong would be great. On a bus ride home, they expressed their wish to purchase Falun Gong books, and their illnesses were gone soon after. 

Falun Gong cultivates Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Many practitioners have validated the miracles and wonders of Falun Gong during their cultivation process. Many practitioners have had experiences similar to this couple. Their personal experiences expose the CCP’s lies and are living examples of the wonderfulness of Falun Gong.

[Clearwisdom.net] Korea: Newspaper Reports on People’s Enthusiastic Participation in Learning the Practice of Falun Gong in Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Photo)

 October 15, 2004

Falun Gong is warmly received in Gangnam-gu. The five-sets of exercises are easy to learn. In addition, the instruction is free of charge. What is more important is that this practice has a remarkable effect in improving one’s appearance, losing weight and keeping fit and healthy. Hence it is widely praised.

(Clearwisdom.net) Reporter Bai Zhongguo from Sport Seoul, a newspaper in Korea wrote an article entitled, “Falun Gong ‘whirlwind’ in Gangnam-gu” and reported citizens’ enthusiastic participation in learning the Falun Gong exercises in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Below is a translation or the report:

At about 9 pm on October 4, 2004, under a bridge in Gangnam-gu, more than 50 people, young or old, men and women were raising their arms high and holding a posture as if they were embracing a wheel above their heads. This posture that looked like setting-up exercises was one of the postures in one set of Falun Gong exercises called “Falun standing stance”. These people who practice Falun Gong all looked very serene and sincere. Recently, an increasing enthusiasm is found among people in Gangnam-gu to practice Falun Gong. Ms. Lee who instructed the exercises every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening since April said, “Sometimes, more than 100 people came to practice the exercises. Over the past few months, several thousands of people have visited here.”

Ms. Lee added, in their leisure time in the evening, people come here to practice the exercises. Now, more and more people come. There are also quite some people practicing the exercises at home after they learned the exercises. Besides, there are also practice sites at several parks. In Gangnam-gu, not only housewives but also senior gentlemen and youngsters successively join in the practice.

Falun Gong is warmly received in Gangnam-gu. The five-sets of exercises are easy to learn. In addition, the instruction is free of charge. What is more important is that this practice has a remarkable effect in improving one’s appearance, losing weight and keeping fit and healthy. Hence it is widely praised.

Ms. Huang whom I met at the practice site said, “Since I started practicing Falun Gong, I have fewer and fewer wrinkles and I now look younger. Now, except for very basic makeup such as lipstick, I don’t need to use other cosmetics”. Miss Lee who started practicing Falun Gong at the end of June sighed with emotion: “My mind is much clearer. When I take shower, I often find my skin become more delicate.” In fact, many of the Falun Gong practitioners I’ve met all have delicate rosy skin and they look much younger than their real age.

Through practicing Falun Gong, quite some people successfully lost their extra weight. Mr. Cao who had tried jogging, swimming and body-building for 30 years said, “I lost six kilograms in six weeks after I started practicing Falun Gong. After that, I recommend Falun Gong to my family members.” Ms. Kung proudly said, “The extra weight on my arms that I had tried to lose for 7 years is gone in four months after I practice Falun Gong.”

Among the practitioners, a great number of people have their arthritis, back problems, insomnia and gastric diseases healed through the practice of Falun Gong without any other medical treatment. Mr. Lee, who had suffered later-period kidney cancer, completely recovered through practicing Falun Gong. He said, “Five years ago, my kidney cancer cells proliferated to my bladder. Even my doctors gave up treatment on me. After I practiced Falun Gong, I’m completely recovered. During the process, I did not take a single bit of medicine.” Perhaps it is because Falun Gong’s remarkable healing effect, there are quite many practitioners are western or Chinese medical doctors.

However, Professor Lee from Gynecology and obstetrics department, who instructed Falun Gong exercises at another park said, “Healing illnesses is only a subsidiary benefit brought by Falun Gong. People do not only learn Falun Gong for healing and fitness, but through the cultivation of Falun Gong, they become to understand the principles of the universe and the criteria to distinguish good from bad. They’ve learned something at higher levels.”

[Minghui.org] New Students in Korea Share Their Falun Dafa Cultivation Experiences

 May 20, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Korea

“Previously, I was too scared to practice because of the persecution, but I knew that Falun Dafa was good. This time I read Zhuan Falun, and realized that the content in the book is completely different from what the Communist Party propagates. This is a book that truly teaches people to be kind and good. I realized that I had been completely deceived by the Communist Party.”

(Minghui.org) The Tianti Bookstore in Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea, holds a Falun Dafa “Nine-Day Study Class” every month, teaching the exercises and the principles of Falun Dafa to citizens for free.

The following are experiences of the new students who attended the Falun Dafa Nine-Day Class in April 2023.

New students learn the fifth exercise

Ten Years of Tinnitus Disappear After Practicing for One Month

Li Chenjiu, 45, has been in Korea for 17 years. He is an ethnic Korean who immigrated from China. He said that he had always wanted to practice Falun Dafa when he was in China, but didn’t dare to do so, fearing the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal persecution. Yet the idea of practicing Falun Dafa had always been in his heart.

When working on a construction site in March of this year, Li accidentally fell from a considerable height and fractured his pelvis. The pain was excruciating and he could not sleep. He thought about Falun Dafa again, and found a local exercise site. He has continued to practice ever since. After one month, the tinnitus which had tormented him for over ten years disappeared, and his hip pain also subsided significantly.

“Previously, I was too scared to practice because of the persecution, but I knew that Falun Dafa was good. This time I read Zhuan Falun, and realized that the content in the book is completely different from what the Communist Party propagates. This is a book that truly teaches people to be kind and good. I realized that I had been completely deceived by the Communist Party.”

“Falun Dafa is Truly Good”

Kim Eun-hong, a 54-year-old designer, lives in Nowon-gu, Seoul. He is a devoted son, caring for a mother who has suffered from Parkinson’s disease and dementia for several years now. Due to physical and mental exertion, he suffered from insomnia and depression. He could not sleep without taking sleeping pills. Since taking the Falun Dafa class, he now feels much better mentally and is more relaxed as well.

“I tried other qigong in the past, but this is the best. I can feel the strong current of energy, and the movements are graceful as well. I came across Falun Dafa a few years ago when I attended a Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance art exhibition. I learned the exercises, and the effect was very good.”

“Back then, I was just doing the exercises, but already the health benefits were so great. Through this class, I read Zhuan Falun for the first time. Only then, did I know what Falun Dafa is truly about. Falun Dafa is great!”

Dafa’s Principles Make it Easy to Distinguish Right from Wrong, Good from Bad

Shin Mi-sook, 51, is a piano teacher living in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Although she started to practice after she got married twenty years ago, she didn’t continue because of her busy work schedule. Several months ago, she made up her mind to resume cultivation. She began exercising and reading the Fa earnestly daily like before.

“When I began true cultivation, I noticed changes in myself. I am now considerate of others, and focus on others instead of myself. Dafa’s principles make it easy to tell right from wrong, good from bad.”

The next Falun Dafa Nine-Day class will be held from May 30 to June 7 (morning class from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and evening class from 7:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) at Tianti Bookstore in Seoul, Korea. For bookstore inquiries, call 02-504-0860.

[Minghui.org] South Korea: New Practitioners Thankful for the Opportunity to Learn Falun Dafa

 July 7, 2022 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Seoul, South Korea

One of her friends told her, “The Chinese Communist Party persecutes Falun Dafa not because it was bad, but because it was so wonderful and many people practiced it. The popularity of the practice worried the authorities, and that was why they decided to crack down on it.”

(Minghui.org) The Tianti Bookstore in Seoul, South Korea holds free 9-day workshops every month to help the public learn the Falun Dafa exercises and how to cultivate one’s heart and mind. Falun Dafa is a meditation practice consisting of spiritual teachings with core principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, and five slow-moving exercises. It was first taught in China in 1992 and is now practiced by people in over 100 countries and areas. 

Participants of the 9-day workshop in June 2022 learn the fifth Falun Dafa exercise, the meditation. 

Father and Daughter 

Mr. Cui first heard about Falun Dafa ten years ago. He downloaded the information online and began practicing on his own. He always thought, “One day I will systemically learn it.” He finally got the chance in June 2022, and attended the workshop with his daughter. During the workshop the practitioners corrected his movements when he did the exercises. “After I did the movements correctly, it felt like a loosened screw had been re-tightened. Doing the movements correctly makes me feel more energetic. I thank practitioners for their help.” 

Mr. Cui is a poet and has written over seven thousand poems, which were collected in over 50 books. After he started practicing Falun Dafa, he found it was easier to write poems. He told other poets that now Falun Dafa inspires his poems. 

Before he began practicing Falun Dafa, he did a lot of research on cultivation. “I read a lot of books about Christianity and Buddhism. I couldn’t find answers from any of them, nor did I hear the principles of the universe. I constantly looked for someone to teach me, and that was how I found Falun Dafa,” he said. After reading Zhuan Falun, the book that contains Falun Dafa’s main teachings, he knew he found the answers to the questions he always had. “I felt that I had no regrets in my life. Like Confucius said, ‘If a man hears the Truth in the morning, he can die contented in the evening.’” 

During the next four months Mr. Cui spent eight hours a day every day reading all the articles written by Falun Dafa’s founder. He then began to learn the exercises online. The amazing feeling he had motivated him to urge his daughter to practice. 

Ms. Cui accepted the book Zhuan Falun from her father, and knew that it was a precious gift. “When my father told me that none of the books I ever read can compare to Zhuan Falun, I believed him because I look up to him,” she said. 

She brought the book with her when she went to China for work. Her owning the book surprised all of her Chinese friends because the Chinese regime has persecuted the practice for the past 23 years. One of her friends told her, “The Chinese Communist Party persecutes Falun Dafa not because it was bad, but because it was so wonderful and many people practiced it. The popularity of the practice worried the authorities, and that was why they decided to crack down on it.” Her friends reminded her to be careful.

During the 9-day workshop, Ms. Cui experienced many changes and said, “I knew the superficial meanings of the words, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Now I constantly ponder how I can apply these principles in my everyday life. When I do the exercises, my body heats up like a stream of electricity is passing through. Every day I felt that there was something hurting me, either my leg or my stomach or elsewhere. But the next day when I came back to the workshop, the pain would disappear and I felt quite relaxed. It was an amazing experience.” 

Mother and Daughter 

Ms. Pu suffered migraine headaches and routinely went to the hospital. The hospital director suggested she try practicing Falun Dafa, and that was why she attended the workshop. On the ninth day Ms. Pu had a big smile on her face, “My health is poor and I easily get tired. The fact that I did not miss a day of class makes me feel excited.” 

Her daughter Ms. Song is in the military and came with her during her break. She explained military life in the past seven years drained her physically and mentally. “I didn’t know much about Falun Dafa before I decided to come with my mother. My mindset was negative and I used to have a lot of bad thoughts. I was able to suppress them when I came here, and it felt really nice. I also was able to calm down,” she said, “I want to practice (Falun Dafa) with my mother from now on.”

Stomach Pain Is Gone 

Ms. Li from Vietnam heard about Falun Dafa years ago, but did not think about practicing. Last December she went to the emergency room for acute stomach pain. After repeated visits and checkups, the doctors still couldn’t determine what caused the pain. Ms. Li remembered Falun Dafa, and decided to give it a try. 

Her younger sister taught her how to do the exercises. Ms. Li said, “The first time I did the exercises, I sweat profusely. My sister told me not to worry and encouraged me to continue. I listened to her, and now I have a healthy body and a sound mind.” 

Ms. Jin suffered leg problems. She knew about the healing effects of Falun Dafa before she came to the workshop. “I believe that only Falun Dafa can help improve me physically and mentally. I especially like the fact that the practice can improve a person’s character. Now that I’ve learned how to practice, I must practice seriously,” said Ms. Jin.

The Tianti Bookstore in Seoul holds nine-day Falun Dafa workshops once every month. Each workshop lasts nine consecutive days, with options for either morning or evening classes. 

Morning classes are from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, while evening classes are from 7:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The workshop is always free of charge.

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

To learn more about the persecution Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to in China, visit http://faluninfo.net/.

For more information about the practice or to download Zhuan Falun, visit: www.falundafa.org. All books, exercise music, resources, and instructions are available completely free of charge.
