Falun Gong looks, acts and smells similar to a cult with showy conceivable domestic ambition, not to discuss the interplanetary stuff. The thought which it is merely an old ladies' practice organisation is disarming and disingenuous.
Li Hongzhi disdains our world as the "trash can of the universe", Jesus loved and died for the people who dwell in the "trash can", even "the blind or the lame as well as people of ugly appearance." It is the kind of love that is incontrovertibly absent in the teachings of Li Hongzhi.
Xes.cx is a blog maintained by a young Malaysian lawyer. This blog focuses on lifestyle, travel, food, nightlife, rock climbing and generally humour based entries. On September 26, 2005, the lawyer wrote an article about the encounter with Falun Gong on the blog.
Doing some more digging on Falun Gong, I've discovered they're not some ancient, persecuted religion—they're just a bunch of whack-jobs who happen to come from a civilization with ancient roots. They believe in clearing your mind with meditation, and I'm afraid that aliens are involved.
The accusations made in the letter of "Never forget" are totally inappropriate or complete lies.In particular, the so-called Falun Gong movement is a complete scam that infested the US media with lies upon lies that are designed to incite an uninformed audience.
This article is about the responses between Peter and the author to “The Falun Gong Machine”, which is posted on our website before. The author Lloyd Lofthouse said Peter was a member of Falun Gong and they got global attention and sympathy by staging a demonstration.
In the past three years, The Epoch Times, a paper that might as well be called "The Falun Gong Journal" has become a regular presence here in New York. It's a free paper, which makes me wonder all the more about how it is financed. So who's paying for it? And in these times?
It appears Li wishes the FLG to be independent of any other group. Also, one of the reasons Li left, or was expelled, from the offical qi gong association was that he wanted to be distinguished from the other "regular" qi gong groups and to have FLG recognized as something different.
Li's "non-political" instructions to his practitioners have changed, so protesting is a necessary part of their enlightenment process. If you don't participate, you are displaying attachments, and if you cannot let go of your final attachments, you lose your chance to reach Consummation.
Not a good day for China and the Bush administration.It also leaves the Bush administration open to the accusation it lacks the skill, discipline, and credibility to conduct a carefully modulated policy of confrontation and conciliation with Beijing on behalf of the free world.
When Falun Gong members set themselves alight in Tiananmen Square, it seemed like a sign of things to come, the doomsday scenario in which mass suicide would lead to the death of millions. The scenario cannot be discounted, especially when so little is known about the sect and its leader.
As an individual, looking at the same material, I have to admit I am appalled. Li appears to be aiming at what can only be considered a variant of the emotional/ideological 'total institution' system characteristic of many cultic new religions: AumShinKyo, the Jim Jones cult, etc.
Dr. Udo Schuklenk is a professor of philosophy. He wrote this article in his blog on August 19, 2010, saying, "The cult (Falun Gong) is clearly racist and homophobic, not to forget outright crazy (see the 'Masters' blabber about aliens below). Think twice about supporting their campaigns."
Usually the criticism of Liu is less specific, and amounts to name-calling. The criticisms are similar in spirit, at least, to the stories about Liu that appear frequently in The Epoch Times, which run by people who do not like John Liu at all.
If Shen Yun is serious about being part of Downtown, then it needs to be a team player. There are plenty of other sites to consider, Downtown has more than its fair share of underutilized plots. But Shen Yun is off base at Grand Avenue. This is a case where a squeaky wheel shouldn't get the grease. ...
