Zhuan Falun (Turning The Law Wheel)

This article may be of interest to anyone wishing to better understand Falun Gong - it certainly was to me:

In particular, these paragraphs:

Falun Gong was founded by a man named Li Hongzhi, who registered the group with the Chinese government in 1992. (In 1989, after the Tiananmen Square Protests, the Chinese Communist Party established a registry of social organizations, in order to head off political upheaval.) He soon attracted “tens of millions of adherents,” the political-science professor Maria Hsia Chang writes in “Falun Gong: The End of Days.” Falun Gong started holding enormous gatherings; by the mid-nineties, there were more than two thousand Falun Gong practice stations in Beijing alone. Troubled by the possibility that a large part of the population was becoming more loyal to Li than to the Communist Party, the government began cracking down on Qigong groups and banning sales of Falun Gong publications. By 1999, the government was estimating that the group had seventy million adherents; that year, more than ten thousand of them staged a silent protest in front of the central government compound, in Beijing. An arrest warrant was issued for Li, who had already immigrated to Queens, New York. The Chinese legislature subsequently passed, and began violently enforcing, an anti-cult law.

Li has been open about his beliefs that evolution is fraudulent, that people of different races will be separated in Heaven, and that homosexuality and promiscuity are unnatural. He told Time that aliens were attempting to control humans by making us dependent on modern science. (He intended to be metaphorical, he later said.) A San Francisco man named Samuel Luo has claimed that his mother and stepfather refused essential medical treatment because of Falun Gong’s teachings that sickness is based in karma; he has also claimed that they came to believe that it was the gods’ plan to eliminate the gay population. Luo set up a Web site called The Untold Story of Falun Gong in 2007, and Falun Gong responded by complaining to the domain provider. The organization also threatened to sue the International Cultic Studies Association for bringing Luo to a conference as a presenter. Other religions resist modern medicine, and many faiths have held racist views or have opposed homosexuality (or both). But Falun Gong’s defensive reactions not only to criticism but to basic journalistic inquiry can suggest an institution that would prefer people not ask very many questions. In response to a list of questions related to this article, a representative from Falun Gong’s information center, who had previously clarified a few points over the phone, sent an impassioned, six-hundred-word e-mail expressing dismay at some of the details mentioned in the questions and arguing that negative stories about Falun Gong make it easier for the Chinese government to wage its campaign of persecution. The representative asked that he not be quoted at all. He did not answer any of the questions. (I separately requested comment, multiple times, from Shen Yun, but never heard back.)

There is currently a massive propaganda campaign against Falun Dafa by the Chinese Communist Party. This propaganda also has it's tentacles in many Western countries including newspapers and certain bought and paid for news organizations. They even have an 'Internet Water Army' designed to spread propaganda about Falun Dafa across the web:

The whole world supports Falun Dafa apart from the Chinese Communist Party:

"By April 2001, Li Hongzhi had received over 340 awards and proclamations from Australia, Canada, China (before crackdown), Japan, Russia, and the U.S. in recognition of the contributions to people's spiritual and physical health, and to freedom of belief in the world. These include certificates of recognition from several governmental bodies in the United States – including Honorary Citizenship awarded by The State of Georgia and city of Atlanta. On 14 March 2001, The Freedom House bestowed Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong with an International Religious Freedom Award for the advancement of religious and spiritual freedom at a ceremony in the United States Senate. In the same year, Li was ranked the most powerful communicator in Asia by Asiaweek magazine "for his power to inspire, to mobilize people and to spook Beijing". He was nominated for the 2001 Sakharov Prize by over 25 members of European Parliament, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000 and 2001, and in 2013 was ranked by Foreign Policy Magazine as one of the 500 most powerful people in the world."

Some points to be addressed in the article:

In regards to homosexuality and promiscuity it's true, Falun Dafa regards it as sinful behavior, many upright schools believe this to be so however.

In regards to the alien phenomena many governments around the world also know that there is an alien presence on this planet but keep much of this information from the public. The article in question outright lied however, Mr Li Hongzhi never said the alien phenomena is metaphorical but very much real.

Here is the full interview with Time Asia: http://content.time.com/time/world/artic...61,00.html

In regards to healing and karma, Falun Dafa teaches that most adversity including sickness has Karmik reasons behind it. It completely respects free will and one can still go to doctors and take medication if they choose but the core underlying issue of sickness is Karma. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have benefited from Falun Dafa's healing and rejuvenating effects:

Many western fake news organizations take bribes from the Chinese Communist regime, it's a sad state of affairs that American journalism is being polluted by the Communist specter:
