Case Analysis
ⅡHow Does Falun Gong Treat Human Life?
A human being has but one life, and the life circle is irreversible. As far as human being is concerned, life is the most precious existence in the world. Then, why do the Falun Gong obsessed practitioners look down upon people, and disrespect human life? Why do some of them even commit suicide or cruelly kill others? Now let's have a look at what Li Hongzhi has said about human life.
It is natural for a man or woman to seek good heath and a longer life, and this is also the highlight to attract most Falun Gong practitioners to join and practice Falun Gong. Yet the heresy "Primordial Spirit does not become extinct," and "One's real body will not die," claimed by Li Hongzhi has driven some of the practitioners to go opposite to their original intentions because they no longer cherish their flesh bodies and call human body "the vile skin-bag." A few of them even purposely destroyed their own bodies to reach Consummation. Here are some of the remarks made by Li Hongzhi to his disciples.
"From a high level, we find that when a person is dead, his Primordial Spirit does not become extinct."[1]
"When a person dies, only the layer of the largest molecules – the human shell or his layer of molecules on the surface – dies and falls away from this dimension. How could your real body that's composed of microscopic matter die?"[2]
"At the very moment of death they did not feel scared; on the contrary, they suddenly felt a sense of relief, with some sort of subconscious excitement. Some people felt free from the bandage of the body and could levitate very lightly and wonderfully."[3]
"In this cosmos, 99.9 percent of the numerous cultivation ways in the past and heavenly paradises in different cosmic bodies didn't need bodies. Not everyone thinks so favorably about having a flesh body. Many paradises absolutely will not let you bring a body when you return there. If you took your body along, you would be disrupting the Fa." [4]
From the Dafa disciple's perspective, the flesh body is just "a set of skin," the earlier you get rid of it, the sooner you feel relieved. In addition, when a person dies, only the human shell on the surface falls away from this dimension. His real body will not die. If a disciple "gets rid of his human shell due to persecution," he will even be able to "gain Consummation." Furthermore, when someone returns to his paradise, he does not need to take his flesh body with him. So, why should the Dafa disciples cherish their bodies or be scared of death?
The fact is that there's no evidence so far to demonstrate that when a Dafa disciple "got rid of the human shell," or died in another word, people have seen the spectacular view of his Consummation!
As mentioned in An Old Father's Sad Memories at the Tomb-sweeping Day, Zhu Zhengfeng, a victim of Falun Gong, was originally a very kind student with the desire to do better. After he began to practice Falun Gong, everything changed. He neglected his studies, talking nonsense all day long. One moment he told people he was communicating with the Law Bodies of his Master, and the next he was ascending to the paradise. When his parents tried to persuade him to get married and settle down as others do, he talked back with Falun Gong scriptures, "There is no difference in terms of the realm of Consummation and the progress towards Consummation – wherever you're supposed to reach Consummation, you're sure to go there." He told people, "Chen Guo and the likes of them, who committed suicide by burning out, have been ascending to the paradise." Tempted by Li Hongzhi's fallacy of "Ascending to the paradise with Perfection," Zhu Zhengfeng eventually committed suicide by setting himself on fire in the pigpen of his family. Even for such a Falun Gong diehard, when he was burning himself to death, his Master Li Hongzhi never demonstrated any magic power to show people the spectacular vision of "taking off human skin and the original soul ascending to paradise."
As mentioned in Falun Gong Kills My Son, Li Jinzhong and Chang Haochi, both were induced to burn themselves to death by Li Hongzhi's fallacy of Consummation.
To make his disciples even more convinced in his fallacies, Li Hongzhi promises them the moon of "Law Body protection," "Removing Karma and cleansing the body," as well as the "Ascending to paradise with Consummation." With the Master's guarantee of "Law Body protection," the Dafa disciples feel there is no use to take good care of their bodies even if they become ill because the master will "remove the Karma" for them. All in all, the Dafa disciples leave everything including their lives up to Li Hongzhi. Should they suffer a misfortune or even die under master's protection, they never utter a word of complaint since they regard death as "Ascending to paradise with Consummation." Some even feel deeply grateful to Li Hongzhi.
Li Hongzhi promised his followers, "Cultivators will gain protection from my Law Bodies (Fa-shen) when they accept Falun Dafa teachings and truly cultivate. As long as you persevere in cultivation, my Law Bodies will protect you until you reach Consummation. Should you decide to stop cultivating at some point, my Law Bodies will depart."[5]
"To do is practice while following the standards of a practitioner. There is no need for me to personally give you a Falun and Law Body, as you will get everything... This is that a student of mine taught you, and all of my students have the protection of my Law Bodies... I have countless Law Bodies that can protect the students, so everyone that truly cultivates will be protected... this is guaranteed."[6]
"My Law Bodies are aware of everything. What you think about, they are aware of it, and they can do any thing."[7]
Consequently, the disciples firmly believe that their Master's "Law Bodies" will protect them and therefore they'll never come across any dangers. That is why they leave everything including their lives up to their "omnipresent" and "omnipotent" Master, Li Hongzhi. Yet a great many of Dafa disciples have encountered misfortunes, but never seen the magic power of their Master's "Law Bodies."
In the article Falun Gong Takes away My Husband's Life, Liu Xiying was a Dafa disciple. Her husband died because she totally counted on her Master and refused medical treatment.
Zhang Huilin was also a victim of Falun Gong mentioned in I Astonished to Know that I Got Cancer While Practicing Falun Gong, even when her cancer developed to a critical stage, her Master's Law Bodies still showed no sign of protection. As a result, she had lost the optimum chance of treatment in the early five months.
Li Hongzhi boasts that he could "remove Karma and cleanse the body" in favor of his followers. Many Dafa disciples are convinced that by practicing Falun Gong their bodies are gradually purified to become "bodies of diamond" which will not degenerate. Further practice enables the disciples to reject both doctor and medicine whenever they fall ill.
Li Hongzhi tells his disciples, "Karma resulting from past wrongdoing, one has illness or tribulations...There are altogether two major levels (excluding practicing qi). One is In-Triple-World-Fa (Shi-Jian-Fa) cultivation practice, while the other is Beyond-Triple-World-Fa (Chu-Shi-Fa) cultivation practice...in the course of In-Triple-World-Fa cultivation practice one's body will be constantly purified, it will be completely replaced by the high-energy matter when one reaches the highest form of In-Triple-World-Fa... Human cells will be gradually replaced by the high-energy matter... this person's body will no longer degenerate."[8]
Fooled by Li Honzhi's fallacies, the Dafa disciples firmly believe they will never fall ill after practicing Falun Gong. If they do become ill, they should not go to see a doctor since being ill is a way of "Removing Karma and cleansing the body." Some of the disciples lost their lives as the result. A few obsessed Falun Gong followers assume that they have already accomplished the so-called "In-Triple-World-Fa" practice, which means their bodies have been replaced by high-energy matter, or have become the Buddhahood bodies that can not be damaged. Even they go on fasting, bump against walls or jump off buildings, it will be absolutely safe.
Zhang Huilin was a Falun Gong practitioner mentioned in I Astonished to Know that I Got Cancer While Practicing Falun Gong, she found a small lump in her breast, and ignorantly thought it must result from her own Karma. In order to get rid of the nuisance, she desperately practiced Falun Gong and read the scripture books. Other Dafa disciples also urged her to "persevere in practicing Dafa" instead of medical treatment. After medical examination, the doctor diagnosed her illness as breast cancer
