Banned in China, Spreading across Australia
Plants have souls. You can be reincarnated into a rock. Multi-dimensional universes are taken as a given. There are heavens for different kinds of believers, some with only one advanced soul, others with millions.
Powerful beings appear and disappear at will.
Advanced practitioners can walk through walls and cure the sick.
A Fast Track to Enlightenment
Humble, not poor
A nobler time in China’s Past
White Lotus
As American political scientist Maria Hsia Chang noted in her book Falun Gong: The End of Days, historically Falun Dafa most closely resembles the Buddhist secret society White Lotus, which first emerged in 1360.
Turning Negative into Positive
After two hours in the park doing the exercises you walk away feeling as if you have been hit over the head with a cosmic hammer and are entering a hyper-real world.

Broad Appeal
“For me it is a practical more than spiritual thing,” he says. “It clears my mind, gives me a positive outlook on life. They don’t force anything upon you. You can turn up for practice or not. You are never pressured into it in any shape or form. I have never been asked to donate a cent, yet I have been given so much.”
“From a young age I have always been interested in what life is all about,” he said. “I have always been intrigued by different practices from India, different yoga masters. And one day Falun Dafa came along and answered a lot of questions that other practices didn’t answer. I found out what life is all about and what I am here for. That is how I am a different person. A few years ago I was really lost. Now my head is sharp and clear, I don’t have any illnesses, I don’t have anything wrong with me.”
These stubborn old girls
“For me, before I started practice I focussed on daily life, myself, my children, my family. Now I understand that life is more, that life is precious. I am very active, I protest outside the consulate. People ask me why, do the American and Australian governments give me money? No one gives me money. It is from my heart. The minimum thing is: we should tell people the truth.”
You Cannot Escape The Truth
“For me I find it is a pure environment, where everyone wants to be a good person. It improves my mental and physical health. People find the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance echo with their own principles, and then they want to learn the practice. And also because some find it helps them relax, and their health improves.
