Lorenz Duchamps, 28, from Belgium is proud to say he has stopped smoking, drinking, and compulsive video gaming for five years.
“There’s more to life than just temporary fun.”
Five years ago, Lorenz started learning an ancient Chinese spiritual movement called Falun Dafa and found it had a profound effect on his well-being.
“To look inside yourself, evaluate yourself, and practice meditation everyday… It’s had such a big impact on my daily life.”
Falun Dafa is a traditional spiritual practice consisting of four standing, qigong-like exercises and a sitting meditation. Emphasis is placed on upholding one’s moral character and following the tenets of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
