All about Falun Gong

  I had started a thread early this year to explain the many misunderstandings against Falun Gong. However, due to time constraint, I was unable to convince many people about them.
  
  But never mind, now I have the time to do so. I am open to discussions and queries regarding Falun Gong especially on the issues of human rights. Hence, my priority is not in converting people to my faith but of course questions are still welcome in this aspect. From my understandings, opinions of Falun Gong may not be perfectly healthy due to numerous negative publicity and propagandas. So feel free to voice your suspicions and I will be here to answer them. Hopefully, many misunderstandings can be cleared up in this little forum of mine.
  
  However, I do wish to keep the discussions intellectual. You all know what I mean. Thank You.

  Well, I donÂ’t know how you define vision but Falun Gong is a method of cultivating oneself according to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.
  
  For simplicity sake (actually it is more than what I have to say),
  Truthfulness- means to be a “true” person like not telling lies….
  Compassion- means to be good to the people around you
  Forbearance- means to endure the hardships you face. Blah Blah Blah.
  
  Obviously this is too simple. If you want to know more, read Zhuan Falun (Translated by North America Practitioners, 2003). http://www.falundafa.org/book/eng/zfl_new.html
  
  Unless you have a different definition of what is a vision.
  
  In China, there is a massive crackdown on Falun Gong not because of its doctrine but because of political motivations of the PRC government. Communist China, as you know, is atheist in nature and thus major faith and religions are persecuted in China. We all know what happened to the Buddhist Dalai Lama in Tibet, the Muslim in the Northwest and the Christians groups that were forced underground. As China is a police state, concentration camps are opened to lock up many of these Falun Gong Practitioners just like what Hitler had did to the Jews and his enemies in Nazi Germany. All these can be proven by accessing the United Nations website and other legitimate (neutral) human rights watchdog websites.
  
  Thus in face of such widespread abuses, I just wish to raise awareness to this issue. Moreover, during the PRC persecution, many negative propagandas are delivered to give a negative coronation to Falun Gong I order to “justify” inhuman oppression. For example, Falun Gong practitioners were demonized for self-immolation (burning ourselves) but the United Nations had announced it to be an engineered hoax by the CCP government. Moreover, Falun Gong condemns killings, what’s more suicide.
  
  Due to the economic clout of a rising China, many abuses are denied coverage unless it blew out of proportion as the recent slavery scandal in Shansi China. Therefore, many people have misunderstandings about Falun Gong which I hope I can clarify.

  Haha U wanna join? Lol.
  
  Taiwan is a more expressive society than us. Falun Gong is registered in 80 over countries. Thus their support for human rights and the ending of persecution is very visible.
  
  They are not as lazy as me. Typing away at home.....
