I had read about some threads which demonstrated severe
misunderstanding about Falungong. Being one of its members, I wish
to clarify to many people who are hoodwinked by the Chinese
Communist propaganda machine. Here are some basic areas of
misunderstanding.
1. Falungong had never being a religion. It has no religious ritual
or any systems to be considered a religion. If is not a religion,
how can it be considered a cult? Moreover, Falungong requires a
high level of personal cultivation, which in other words, requires
its practitioners to be morally upright.
2. The communist party had really taken human organs from living
Falungong members. This is a fact recognized by international human
right organizations. Many Western countries calling for
investigations into the matter.
3. Master Li Hongzhi is not some cult leader. How can a person who
preaches good for no monetary rewards be a cult leader?
4. Falungong absolutely abhors the taking of lives, including
suicide. A real Falungong practitioner will never resort to burning
himself.
There is simply too many misunderstandings floating around. I would
gladly clarify any doubts if anybody have any. [/b]
It is a cult of personality...
