@easternshorefilam: I am a westerner. I have never been to China. I practice Falun Dafa because it saved my life, it gave me hope. All the negative content you see about Falun Dafa is false and was presented by Communist Party of China. Why people question Falun Dafa? May be most people do not believe in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance? Falun Dafa practices Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance. May be someone can enlighten me what is wrong with those 3 words. nothing.
I was born in Russia, and I live in USA. And I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. I have never been to China. The practice of Falun Dafa elevated my spirit. I do not know what the depression is anymore, and because I do not have depression, my illnesses were gone. I greatly benefit from this practice, and people who I come in contact with also benefit because of my unconditional compassion and friendliness toward them.
Divinite, not every person born with the intelligence and skills to make money and be rich. Therefore, you get rich and poor class. Don't blame the CCP for your grand father and your fathers failure, and now you. No government hands out free money. Maybe you should practice more Fa Lun Da Fa so you can walk through the wall of a bank and get some cash for your dad and grand dad.
An amazing practice. To those who haven't embraced this wonderful practice I can tell you it is incredibly beneficial to the body and mind and not just benefits those who practice but the people around them too. It really helps people become more peaceful therefore benefiting the world. Falun Dafa is just incredibly good!
There is no reason to do what the chinese govt. has done to the pratitioners of Falun Gong. I alos believe that people should know more about Li Hongzi before they say they are so into "truthfulness". The fact that a regime is so against a/any religion is not in itself a reason to believe. Many good things about Falun Gong but their are also truths that are NOT being told regarding Li Hiongzi. Who DOES put himself above Buddha and Jesus. Yet, Falun gong claims to 'not' be a religion.
@shoegooguru I believe that to be called a religion a practice must consist of certain things. For example:
1, it should have a place of worship example; temple, mosque, church.
2. There should be worship towards gods.
3. consist of different rituals, regular religious services
4, have a membership
There are more, but these are what came to my mind, Falun Dafa do not consist of these things, there for can not be defined as a religion as it has not taken religious form. regards
@BiReal It is a while since you posted your comment. I only saw it today and thought I should tell you that Master Li himself has said that FG is not a religion but a cultivation path. It's just that those who judge this matter superficially can't see the difference between the two and it is they who call it a religion. Also there are 84,000 recognized cultivation paths the world over but they keep themselves hidden maybe because of the persecution they would suffer too.
For those Falun Dafa disciples who claim that they consider Li to only be a great teacher, check out the Falun Dafa video on YouTube called "The eternal story thanks for Master. Li Hongzhi". Just copy those words in YouTube search to watch it. It shows Li floating in the sky as the Buddha and the highest being in the universe. This is a real Falun Dafa video in Chinese. This will show you what Falun Dafa practitioners really believe about Li. This is a video they don't want Westerners to see.
@easternshorefilam Either way, Falun Dafa has a great effect on your body both psychically and mentally , it has truly made me a better person a calm being living in harmony, i think that many of my fellow practitioners has experienced the same.
Li makes many astonishing claims. He claims to be higher than Jesus and Buddha and puts down both Christianity and Buddhism. He stated to practicioners, "I am here to save you from this miserable world. If I cannot save you, there is no one in the world able to do so."
@easternshorefilam I think the people of the day when Jesus and Buddha lived thought the same as you .. Now we know better right? Its called enlightenment
Falun Gong is just a pseduo form of qi gong. There are many other authentic forms of qi gong that are scientifically proven to work. Don't get mixed up with this cult. Falun Gong practicioners are told to listen on to one man, "master" Li. He's a fraud who even changed his birth certificate so it would coincide with the Buddha's. Before he cooked up this elaborate scheme, he was a just a horn player in the PLA. He's not a real teacher, just a fake. Get the facts!
Falun Gong is also scientifically proven to be effective, even by the CCP themselves! They did a survey in the 90's that found millions of practitioners were receiving dramatic health benefits from practising Falun Gong. When they found that there were SO MANY Chinese people practicing, they became so jealous of Master Li's influence that they banned the practice, and spread lies about Falun Gong like the ones you repeated to ensure they can continue the persecution unquestioned.
@justZSR I repeated no lies. Where is the orginal documentation to substantiate your statements that the CCP conducted a survey that proved Falun Gong provides health benefits? It's a fact that he fraudulently changed his birth date to coincide with the Buddha's. It's a fact he was a horn player with the PLA. Li also states that he's higher than Buddha and Jesus. It's in his books. I read them. So what will you do now? Say that's a lie too? So much for Falun Dafa espousing "truthfulness."
Practicing Falun Gong helped me a lot, both mentally and physically. I was having a lot of back pain because of scoliosis, but now I can do any kind of work without having to worry at all. And my relationship with family and friends improved tremendously, as I became less selfish and more truthful, compassionate and tolerant =)

Li Hongzhi is a liar. the original falun dafa website when Li came to USA stated that if you truly do as he says that you really can float through walls and durring the 1990's they put tons of advertising showing people floating with their legs crossed.

Fuck men, Falun gong is an evil cult. I f you do want people to shit on you, you had better to change your name into something else like Li hong zhi gong or Li Gong. Do not steal and use the term of Buddhism Falun and leave Buddhism alone , understood?
Yarlong, stop spreading malicious disease in order to keep your ass. The end of CCP is near at hand.Í see you´re infamous as vlugar and disrrespectful,understood
TheCharleycat, I think after watching this clip we can see that Falun Gong does not resemble a cult at all. It's really sad to see that a lot of mainland chinese people view it as one since the chinese communist party banned it back nearly a decade ago. Interestingly, the communist party supported it before the ban, but once it was viewed as a threat they called it all sorts of evil names. I hope that the chinese people start waking up and see that falun gong is good.
Nope. I´m dead sure CCP is jealous of the F.G.. which is a big menace to CCP. since F.G spreads nice waves of peace, harmony and integrity through the world.
Throughout the world, people from all levels of society practice FLG. Everyone who does, feels it is their responsibility to help end the persecution by the evil party. Running a website is low cost. Newspaper and TV sell ads, but still not profitable. Fee to enter parade is low cost, volunteers are free.
We often ask government to speak out, but get little response. Many corporations help CCP to block freedom of speech for $.
If you know someone will donate $, please tell me.
All those things state above require lots of money, to pay the employees and buy equipments. I want to know how does a non-profit organization manage come up with all the funds. I do not believe they get majority of their funds for their believers. Although it has many non-Chinese followers, the majority of followers are still Chinese. Chinese have a tendency of being cheap,it is hard to believe they get all the funds from them.
Cultivating in Dafa requires you to remove such attachments, such as being "cheap". And Chinese aren't the only one who practice, there are various practitioners from 80 different countries.
There aren't employees in "The Epoch Times" newspaper or the "NTDTV" channel. Those people actually volunteer to help. I know because my mum helps the Epoch times. NTDTV is actually run by Dafa disciples, they volunteer to do the work, i help the Epoch times every week voluntarily. No one gets paid.
First, they have multiple web sides. Second, they have newspaper that is free(大纪元). Third, the new Chinese TV station always broadcast their shows. Fourth, they have their own musical show, they are playing at different cities. Last, this is a high organized organization, they can easy stage parade and protest.
There are actually a lot of Falun Dafa practitioners who are highly educated and have jobs with high income. Those people make contributions with their own pockets to help make all this happen.
i have been following story of falun gong for couple years, I am not here to judge its practice and belief, for i am not a practitioner. However, i do have a question about the Falun gong organization as a whole. The only question i would like to get an answer is how does an exiled religious group mange to get enough funding for all the stuff they do.
Believe it or not, they all come from Falun Gong practitioner's own pocket as far as I have witnessed. I'm a relatively new practitioner and I've known some practitioners with tight budgets, especially old practitioner ladies, who try really hard to save money to support Falun Dafa events, such as transportation costs, equipment costs, airfares, etc. I find it encouraging because they're all doing this just so that those who still deserve to know the truth can and will obtain it.
Master Li (founder of Falun Gong) is the second person in history (John Lennon being the first, who was somewhat worthy of the title) to claim that he was bigger than Jesus. He openly stated in a Chinese lecture that Jesus and Siddhartha were "minor gods" in the "Pantheon of Gods" and that he was the "Master Buddha of the Universe."
Did you notice that he left out Muhammad and Allah? I wonder why...
Jesus didn't exist, john lennon is just a normal guy, don't sensationalise people so much, treat your own self, friends, neighbours and family with love, it's love that needs cultivating. There is no health system in China is the biggest lie, it's stupid, I've been to China lots of times and the hospitals are very good as are the schools the restaraunts and the parks are fantastic, not to mention the ordinary people.
Well you obviously haven't been to the country/poor side of China. My dad's brother and parents starved to death because the CCP didn't look after their people. If you've only been to the city parts of China then what you said there is most likely accurate. Try the poorer sides and you'll see the difference. It's like America and Africa pushed into one country.
Yes I have, I was evacuated to the poorest countryside ever, and the food didn't seem sustainable, this was during the SARS thing, don't tell me what I've done and what I haven't, people starved in Ukraine, Africa, Ireland, it's the govts who are duped into believing they are helping the people by some evil and crafty individuals.
I apologise for making such assumptions. But now that i know you've experienced the poor countryside, you'd know how unfair it is compared to the people that live near the city.
well, deal with it dude. Everybody in the world now know that FG is good :-)But I thing the CCP didnt gain to much favor in the hearts of the people..

Falun Gong has nothing to do with chinese tradition. In China what they did before being banned was totally different from what you can hear from this video. In most cases, they say"DO THIS, AND YOU WILL BE HEALTHY FOREVER. IF YOU STILL GET SICK, IT'S BECAUSE YOU DO NOT REALLY TRUST US"
Actually, that's wrong, Master Li has mentioned (not quoted, something along the lines of this), as long as you cultivate you will suffer. Master Li said (not quoted,something along the lines of this) you won't be ill, but you will have to eliminate karma in the form of an illness. And if something bad happens it's seen as a good thing because it only came about because you cultivated in Dafa. If it's not that, it's because you haven't cultivated well,and you have clinged onto your attachments.
It's the same if you go to the mountains to practice in a Daoist or Buddhist temple. Whatever happens, comes about because you haven't done well. Only in the Dao school you wouldn't be given any chances, they'll just send you home if you don't do well. Cultivation is about one's self, the Master teaches his Fa and it's up to you to enlighten to it. Why can the majority of practitioners continue to improve themselves? because they look inwards and look for their faults and fix them.
My friends They dont do QI GONG THIS IS SURE. They do falung dafa -"dafa" not qi or gong ! they lider what he want its a religion, that the lider is the main god! They dont do any chinese tradition or qi gong. Chinese goverment have reasons to have atentions on theme.
do you know what qigong even is? From where it originated from? Before the cultural revolution, qigong was highly associated with what you call religion but what was more commonly known as xiulian (cultivation practice)
China has existed for 2000+ years. CCP is prosecuting FLG, NOT China. China is great for its people, not for the CCP. If you disagree, go buy a one-way ticket to China & live in its "harmonious & prosperous" government. Why bother staying in the US? FLG started in China 1992 and was widely welcomed $ practiced for 7 years before the ban. So either CCP is really dumb to take this long to figure out it is a "cult" or it is scared because its members are being outnumbered.
Kuki, since the 'opening' of China under the CCP, China has lifted 250+ million people out of poverty & consistently increase in economic output. It's the world's 4th largest economy. And millions of followers of all religions (Buddhist, Christians, Muslims, etc) practice freely and coexist peacefully. China is enjoy great harmony and prosperity, why do u hate? They ban Falun Cult, becuz that's wat it is - a CULT. Understood?
omg, look at this kid kukiszabolcs. One of Falun Cult little adorable puppets spreadin Falun Gong lies. I'm pretty sure u r probably ignorant of Chinese culture/history and even ignorant of the Falun Cult cause u're supporting.
My confused child, please stop spreading Falun Cult lies, and denouncing the CCP when u know nothing about it. And the most shockin, organ harvesting is malicious lies. How evil to spread such lies.
I agree that most people who badmouth don't really know what Falun Gong is. Of course it's easy being subject to the CCP's propaganda, rumors or things taken out of context - thus carrying on erroneous statements, but to truly understand what Falun Gong, one must read it's teachings, only then can one get a clear picture. I've been practicing for seven years and I can only recommend the practice. It's nothing of what the CCP states; on the contrary it teaches people to be good.
elgunne, people who badmouth Falun Cult knows that it's a political organization disguisin itself as a peaceful practice/religion.
It's funny how most Falun Cult supporters rebuts any objections to Falun Cult with CCP propoganda, when the opposition makes no references to CCP.
Do NOT teach/force ur kids to Falun Cult practices people. It's like seeing a hot flame, u don't throw urself or loved ones into the fire when u know u'll get burned right?
Ordinary people who have no are clueless about FLG can say whatever comes into their mind; thats understandable. Falun Gong practitioners bear no grudges and have no opinion of anyone. We simply want to tell the world's people that FLG is a good spiritual qigong practice. It not what the CCP's media propagaded and accused as evil. I hope everyone can take a neutral stand and listen to our explanation before passing unaccountable comments. Thanks.
not 4 sale? the founder of this thing had nearly half billion when he escape to another country, how do u explain that, i have nothing against this practice, but it's just full of BS, old women sitting still 4 hrs and encourage(force) their grand child to practice w/ them, u think that's right?
So, when a Jehovah's witness refuses to allow they're child to have a blood transfusion after a bad accident, is this also child abuse? You cannot say that one is good and another is bad.
I see that you feel very strongly about this but many of us feel very strongly that it is not OK to persecute others for they're beliefs.
The Chinese government is one of the most corrupt on our planet. They have enslaved they're people. They may have the fourth strongest economy in the world but this is because of enslavement. No westerner would work in those conditions or for the wages that the Chinese are forced to. Nor would they send their children or handicapped family members to work in factories or in labor camps.
Religious persecution is not a new thing. If you do not believe it do some research. But you should stop calling them a cult because you are trying to persuade many people who read your comments and don't look into matters for themselves. All organized religion is a cult if you think about it. What religion are you?
might I remind you of labor conditions in industrial america - child labor, unsanitary conditions, low wages. We went through it too. Yes these things are ugly, but they come with an industrial economy, and the point of development is to eventually do away with them.
Well if the child grows up not wanting to practice then they'll let them go. My dad's friend's son is the same. He practiced when he was little and as he grew older he didn't want to practice, so they just let him be. It's a sin in Falun Dafa to FORCE people to practice.
Falun Dafa .They are the political association, is not the true religious group!they Opposition CCP,They want to seize the Chinese political power, the manufacture
before 1999 Falun Gong never said anything against the ccp. Even when they were persecuted, at first all they did was go to the Appeals Bureau in Beijing andtell the government Falun Gong shouldn't be banned.
After years of persecution and thousands tortured to death it became clear that the only way to stop the persecution was for people not to obey the ccp and see it's evilness.
Falun Gong has no wish to govern China, after the ccp falls it will be up to the Chinese to decide who governs
Well they weren't doing anything political before the persecution, why now? They just using political means to stop the persecution, what would you do if your family was practising their belief in another country and got tortured for it? You would want to do what you could to get your voice out there, whether it's political or non political, whether it's through media or the internet. You'd give your life to get the word out.
I started practising Falun Gong in 1998, in the same year as Joel Chipkar. More I read the books of Falun Gong, more I realize how profound and extensive Falun Gong is. I have experienced and witnessed so much goodness Falun Gong brought to people around me. I don't understand why some people bad mouth Falun Gong. I dare to say most of these people have never read the books of Falun Gong and they've never understood what Falun Gong is.
Joel Chipkar has been practising Falun Gong since 1998. If you do practise FLG, you won't have post this sort of comment. Clearly you have no idea what FLG is. I would rather listen to Joel than you any day.
Al Sharpton was arrested for his " peaceful" demonstration. He served there month prison term for an act of civil disobedience in 2001. I have a deep admiration for his man, a man of vision, determination, and above of all, courage. Not someone orders his soldiers to be killed for the sake of publicity.
What are you talking about? who are these soldiers you mentioned. Take a good look at Christianity they were tortured and persecuted for 300 years by the Roman Empire. What did those christian did to finally see light? A. they endured with right faith to love thy neighbor. What so different from Truthfull, Kindness and Tolerance.
great, and now he makes money off of constantly seperating the races instead of bringing them together. Allows his race to always remain "a victim". When was the last time he was ever any event that supported anyone BUT blacks. divider
no, actually there is a conversation about Al Sharpton that I responded to. Conversation and open dialougue is way some use to exchange ideas. Who are you to sensor or stop this talk. If you don't want to discuss or read our posts you are welcome not to read them but youre not going to stop it.
i didn't bring it up. I responded to it. Sharpton is a "race activist in America that in my opinion divides the races with his constant lawsuits. He believes in making minorities victims instead of wanting them to improve themselves. Just my opinion. take care
OMG
I ve just heard his interview with Chrisy Trudeau
Same speech Same wording So similar
I ve nothing against the practice itself but this guy is a vocal tape.
Can he be spontaneous ?
One point is about comparing propaganda with Nazi and Holocaust.
Repeating lines to force acceptation of ideas as truth isn't Goebbels invention, but his explanation of the jewish press techniques.
The 6000000 figure is wrong too. It goes against world censusdifferences, and Joel is repeting Ehrenburg's propaganda

He openly stated in a Chinese lecture that Jesus and Siddhartha were "minor gods" in the "Pantheon of Gods" and that he was the "Master Buddha of the Universe."
Did you notice that he left out Muhammad and Allah? I wonder why...

Jesus didn't exist, john lennon is just a normal guy, don't sensationalise people so much, treat your own self, friends, neighbours and family with love, it's love that needs cultivating. There is no health system in China is the biggest lie, it's stupid, I've been to China lots of times and the hospitals are very good as are the schools the restaraunts and the parks are fantastic, not to mention the ordinary people.
Allah, brings trouble, no?

Well you obviously haven't been to the country/poor side of China. My dad's brother and parents starved to death because the CCP didn't look after their people. If you've only been to the city parts of China then what you said there is most likely accurate. Try the poorer sides and you'll see the difference. It's like America and Africa pushed into one country.
Divinenite 2 years ago
Yes I have, I was evacuated to the poorest countryside ever, and the food didn't seem sustainable, this was during the SARS thing, don't tell me what I've done and what I haven't, people starved in Ukraine, Africa, Ireland, it's the govts who are duped into believing they are helping the people by some evil and crafty individuals.

I apologise for making such assumptions. But now that i know you've experienced the poor countryside, you'd know how unfair it is compared to the people that live near the city.
Divinenite 2 years ago
No, it's the same in the city too, there lots of Rich and lots of Poor, you need to study what is a freemason and eugenics.

Chinese is my mother tongue,
Lemme translate some of Lee's "truths" to you in English:
1. "If you look at our hair VERY CLOSELY, there's actually a city with trains running"
2. "We got white, black, asians, and different kinds of people on Earth, in the space there are a tons more colors of human, even FLOWER people"
3. if you practice Falun Dafa you can think with your HEELS, not brain.
4. Aliens kno they can never escape, so they marry rural girls.
These are tip of an iceberg

Falun Gong has nothing to do with chinese tradition. In China what they did before being banned was totally different from what you can hear from this video. In most cases, they say"DO THIS, AND YOU WILL BE HEALTHY FOREVER. IF YOU STILL GET SICK, IT'S BECAUSE YOU DO NOT REALLY TRUST US"

heu.. That is wrong.. sorry dude
Timur21 3 years ago
Actually, that's wrong, Master Li has mentioned (not quoted, something along the lines of this), as long as you cultivate you will suffer. Master Li said (not quoted,something along the lines of this) you won't be ill, but you will have to eliminate karma in the form of an illness. And if something bad happens it's seen as a good thing because it only came about because you cultivated in Dafa. If it's not that, it's because you haven't cultivated well,and you have clinged onto your attachments.
Divinenite 2 years ago
What an explanation! So no matter what happened to me, it's my fault, no Li's.
aagaygg 2 years ago
It's the same if you go to the mountains to practice in a Daoist or Buddhist temple. Whatever happens, comes about because you haven't done well. Only in the Dao school you wouldn't be given any chances, they'll just send you home if you don't do well. Cultivation is about one's self, the Master teaches his Fa and it's up to you to enlighten to it. Why can the majority of practitioners continue to improve themselves? because they look inwards and look for their faults and fix them.

My friends They dont do QI GONG THIS IS SURE. They do falung dafa -"dafa" not qi or gong ! they lider what he want its a religion, that the lider is the main god! They dont do any chinese tradition or qi gong. Chinese goverment have reasons to have atentions on theme.

do you know what qigong even is? From where it originated from? Before the cultural revolution, qigong was highly associated with what you call religion but what was more commonly known as xiulian (cultivation practice)

China has existed for 2000+ years. CCP is prosecuting FLG, NOT China. China is great for its people, not for the CCP. If you disagree, go buy a one-way ticket to China & live in its "harmonious & prosperous" government. Why bother staying in the US? FLG started in China 1992 and was widely welcomed $ practiced for 7 years before the ban. So either CCP is really dumb to take this long to figure out it is a "cult" or it is scared because its members are being outnumbered.

Kuki, since the 'opening' of China under the CCP, China has lifted 250+ million people out of poverty & consistently increase in economic output. It's the world's 4th largest economy. And millions of followers of all religions (Buddhist, Christians, Muslims, etc) practice freely and coexist peacefully. China is enjoy great harmony and prosperity, why do u hate? They ban Falun Cult, becuz that's wat it is - a CULT. Understood?

omg, look at this kid kukiszabolcs. One of Falun Cult little adorable puppets spreadin Falun Gong lies. I'm pretty sure u r probably ignorant of Chinese culture/history and even ignorant of the Falun Cult cause u're supporting.
My confused child, please stop spreading Falun Cult lies, and denouncing the CCP when u know nothing about it. And the most shockin, organ harvesting is malicious lies. How evil to spread such lies.

Do you even know what a cult is..
Timur21 3 years ago
I agree that most people who badmouth don't really know what Falun Gong is. Of course it's easy being subject to the CCP's propaganda, rumors or things taken out of context - thus carrying on erroneous statements, but to truly understand what Falun Gong, one must read it's teachings, only then can one get a clear picture. I've been practicing for seven years and I can only recommend the practice. It's nothing of what the CCP states; on the contrary it teaches people to be good.
elgunne 4 years ago
elgunne, people who badmouth Falun Cult knows that it's a political organization disguisin itself as a peaceful practice/religion.
It's funny how most Falun Cult supporters rebuts any objections to Falun Cult with CCP propoganda, when the opposition makes no references to CCP.
Do NOT teach/force ur kids to Falun Cult practices people. It's like seeing a hot flame, u don't throw urself or loved ones into the fire when u know u'll get burned right?
sumpoorguy 4 years ago
Ordinary people who have no are clueless about FLG can say whatever comes into their mind; thats understandable. Falun Gong practitioners bear no grudges and have no opinion of anyone. We simply want to tell the world's people that FLG is a good spiritual qigong practice. It not what the CCP's media propagaded and accused as evil. I hope everyone can take a neutral stand and listen to our explanation before passing unaccountable comments. Thanks.

not 4 sale? the founder of this thing had nearly half billion when he escape to another country, how do u explain that, i have nothing against this practice, but it's just full of BS, old women sitting still 4 hrs and encourage(force) their grand child to practice w/ them, u think that's right?
ilomse 4 years ago
ilomse, u have also achieved a higher enlightened level than the hyprocrite mASSter Li and all its followers.
And how about Falun Cult members refusing to seek medical attention for illnesses because they believe they have to suffer to rid their bad karma?
Old women forcing their kids to follow these cult practices should be cited for child abuse.
sumpoorguy 4 years ago
So, when a Jehovah's witness refuses to allow they're child to have a blood transfusion after a bad accident, is this also child abuse? You cannot say that one is good and another is bad.
I see that you feel very strongly about this but many of us feel very strongly that it is not OK to persecute others for they're beliefs.

The Chinese government is one of the most corrupt on our planet. They have enslaved they're people. They may have the fourth strongest economy in the world but this is because of enslavement. No westerner would work in those conditions or for the wages that the Chinese are forced to. Nor would they send their children or handicapped family members to work in factories or in labor camps.
matthewandelise 4 years ago
The Chinese government feels threatened by Falung Dafa, as they should because a message of peace and the waking of people is very powerful.
They absolutely do not want to lose they're hold on the masses.
matthewandelise 4 years ago
Religious persecution is not a new thing. If you do not believe it do some research. But you should stop calling them a cult because you are trying to persuade many people who read your comments and don't look into matters for themselves. All organized religion is a cult if you think about it. What religion are you?

might I remind you of labor conditions in industrial america - child labor, unsanitary conditions, low wages. We went through it too. Yes these things are ugly, but they come with an industrial economy, and the point of development is to eventually do away with them.

Well if the child grows up not wanting to practice then they'll let them go. My dad's friend's son is the same. He practiced when he was little and as he grew older he didn't want to practice, so they just let him be. It's a sin in Falun Dafa to FORCE people to practice.

before 1999 Falun Gong never said anything against the ccp. Even when they were persecuted, at first all they did was go to the Appeals Bureau in Beijing andtell the government Falun Gong shouldn't be banned.
After years of persecution and thousands tortured to death it became clear that the only way to stop the persecution was for people not to obey the ccp and see it's evilness.
Falun Gong has no wish to govern China, after the ccp falls it will be up to the Chinese to decide who governs
Louis781982 3 years ago 2
Well they weren't doing anything political before the persecution, why now? They just using political means to stop the persecution, what would you do if your family was practising their belief in another country and got tortured for it? You would want to do what you could to get your voice out there, whether it's political or non political, whether it's through media or the internet. You'd give your life to get the word out.

I started practising Falun Gong in 1998, in the same year as Joel Chipkar. More I read the books of Falun Gong, more I realize how profound and extensive Falun Gong is. I have experienced and witnessed so much goodness Falun Gong brought to people around me. I don't understand why some people bad mouth Falun Gong. I dare to say most of these people have never read the books of Falun Gong and they've never understood what Falun Gong is.

Al Sharpton was arrested for his " peaceful" demonstration. He served there month prison term for an act of civil disobedience in 2001. I have a deep admiration for his man, a man of vision, determination, and above of all, courage. Not someone orders his soldiers to be killed for the sake of publicity.
bg24955 4 years ago
What are you talking about? who are these soldiers you mentioned. Take a good look at Christianity they were tortured and persecuted for 300 years by the Roman Empire. What did those christian did to finally see light? A. they endured with right faith to love thy neighbor. What so different from Truthfull, Kindness and Tolerance.
