Make no mistake about it the current government of China is an evil empire to be watched and guarded against. It’s tenants are those of adharma.
Falun Dafa, primarily known as Falun Gong, is a set of meditation exercises and texts, preaching virtues of truth, kindness, and forbearance. This spiritual movement was initiated in 1992 by Li Hongzhi, a former trumpet player.
Falun Gong has its roots in the ancient spiritual practice of Qigong, a regimen for coordinated body posture, breathing, and meditation.
Initially, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) supported the movement. The practice garnered more than 70 million followers in China. But soon, in June 1999, this practice was deemed as a “heretical organization” by the government.
Why Falun Gong is considered an evil cult in China?
The answer might surprise you— China maintains a single-party regime. As soon as the CCP understood the incredible growth of Falun Gong practitioners and followers, they saw it as a threat to their existing ideologies.
In 1996, the government banned the public sales of Zhuan Falun, the main text of this movement. The websites mentioning Falun Gong were blocked. And in 1999, an extra-constitutional body 610 (named after the date of its creation) was created for the persecution of Falun Gong.
When the practitioners tried to protest, they were either detained in the re-education centers or imprisoned. There are also reports of systemic torture, psychiatric abuse, and even organ harvesting.
The founder Li Hongzhi left the country and is in exile in the United States.
