What is Wrong With Falun Gong?

Chinese rebelled almost each and every single government in the past thousand years. FLG is just one with religion in disguise.

Falun Gong is not a religion. Religions are based on belief, Falun Gong is a cultivation practice where the main focus is on mind and body. No prayer to a deity or God. Only what we can manage to cultivate in our own practice. Master Li Hongzhi gives us the teaching and the needed system so we can cultivate it on our own. No praying to him or meditation toward him :) So not a religion

I know good people who were communist.

Unfortunately , there is no good Communism.

Communism CAN work. It has worked. Unfortunately, it cannot be imposed from without.

True communists must CHOOSE, individually, to live that lifestyle, and there must be, included in that choice, the freedom to leave and choose to live in the surrounding, supporting...er, sorry about this..capitalist society that surrounds it and allows it the freedom to exist.

How do I know this?

My own belief system had just such a system: it was called the 'United Order," but was indeed the purest form of Marxist style communism there was. The participants had to enter into it willingly, live it honestly, and they could always leave. It didn't last long in most areas, because people are, well...selfish. True communism requires the exact opposite of selfishness and any seeking for power, and frankly?

I know of very few people who can do that.

However, we did have one community that lasted for nearly a hundred years, and was doing pretty well. It was finally brought down by the federal income tax. (grin) Think about that one for a minute. How in the world could you live a pure communistic life and have to pay individual income tax? Turns out...you can't. Bye Bye 'United Order."

Ah, well.

One thing that will never work, and which has been proven not to work over and over again, is any imposition of communism on the 'state' level. As soon as any part of communism is made 'law,' it's something entirely else. What it becomes then is despotism and power hunger on the part of the leaders who want everybody ELSE to be unselfish.

Such as the belief in Gong energy?
Actually, our Master was tested back in the late 90s and the result was that his energy level maxed out their equipment, I don`t have the scientific paper on it right now, but if I can find it I will add it.( I might not be able to find it because I do not know where He was tested). But I don't see why He would lie about it in his teaching.

Ok, just bear in mind that if the testing paper hasn’t been subject to peer review in the relevant scientific circles it may not be considered scientific by the wider community.

Yes, i am aware of that. I also am aware that our master has many who do not believe in him. But for us who do cultivate his teaching, we see results within our self even from very early in the cultivation practice.

The reason i stated that Falun Gong is not a religion is that it is not based on belief, we actually see and feel the change from within. (but yes it is a personal experience)
