The lead dancer held up Zhuan Falun, a book full of Falun Gong doctrines, while the other dancers knelt in reverence.

Reportedly, Shen Yun shows are preaching the end of the world. Falun Gong claims that only Li Hongzhi can save the world. Even the Buddha’s face was replaced with Li Hongzhi’s.

Li said that the purpose of Shen Yun shows is to let the audience who do not believe in Falun Gong get “saved” by watching it. Those who paid a high price for the show were unaware that they were constantly implanted with cult ideas during the two-hour performance. This is actually a terrible psychological hypnosis.

Li has publicly declared many times that he planed to exert an influence on the mainstream Western society to build up the ranks. For his purpose, he required the Epoch Times to support Trump, trying to swing American presidential election. He also requested that the Westerners’ interest for traditional Chinese culture be utilized to promote the evil ideology of Falun Gong through Chinese classical dance.

In this regard, a British Buddhist scholar Shi Da Dao denounced Falun Gong for “trampling on Chinese culture.” A South Korea website (http://www.churchheresy.com) published an article saying that the purpose of the Shen Yun was to promote the Falun Gong cult and the performance contained a lot of violent scenes and political incitement.

The reason why Falun Gong is listed as an illegal cult group by the Chinese government is that it excels in mental control which can cause people to go psycho and act absurdly.

In 1998, Ma Jianmin, a Chinese citizen who practiced Falun Gong, acted weirdly and cut open his abdomen with scissors at home in an attempt to find the so called “Falun” mentioned by Li Hongzhi. Ma died tragically as a result.

In 2001, Liu Baorong, Wang Jindong, Hao Huijun and her daughter Chen Guo, as well as Liu Chunling and her daughter Liu Siying, all Falun Gong fanatics, came to Tian’anmen Square in Beijing, dreaming to ascend to heaven by self-immolation.

Liu Baorong was stopped by the police on the scene before she could light the gasoline on her body.

When she saw the fire lit by her fellow practitioners next to her was emitting black smoke, she was confused: “We practitioners carry white substances on our bodies, how can black smoke be emitted?” While Li Hongzhi said in Zhuan Falun: “There is such a field around the human body... This field is what we call virtue. Virtue is a white substance... There is also a black substance that exists at the same time, which we call karma...”

Others were not so lucky. Liu Siying, a 12-year-old fifth-grade elementary school student, came to Tian’anmen Square with her mother and five other practitioners, who were obsessed with Falun Gong.

They told her, “the fire can’t burn you. It will just pass through you. You will be in heaven in an instant.”

Then the little girl ignited the gasoline on her body and shout for pain again and again, “Mom!”, but her mother could no longer answer her. She didn’t know that her mother Liu Chunling had been burned to death on the spot and she also died a month later due to complications caused by severe burns.

Wang, Hao and Chen suffered extensive burns. Ultimately two people died and three were seriously injured, a tragedy resulted from Falun Gong.
