It's a hard question. Because the creator of FLG, Li Hongzhi, gave us different answers before and after he came to America:

In China, he said, "FLG is the only truth of the universe that I discovered."

In America, he said, FLG is part of the ancient Chinese culture.

Is it true? Please ask any Chinese people you know if he/she is not a FLGer, the answer will be NO.
