Compilation of Fallacies
of Cult Leader Li Hongzhi
1.
I defeated the "snake spirit"
Once
there was a man practicing Taoism in the Ming Dynasty. One
day when he was practicing his art, a snake spirit occupied
his body. The man finally died of this and the snake spirit
took on the shape of a man. But having a spirit's nature,
he was evil-minded and used to make trouble to me in the
shape of a giant snake. I was so annoyed that I caught hold
of it in my hands and used a powerful magic called "Melting
Gong" to turn its lower part into water. Its upper
part fled in panic.
(Zhuan falun, Turning the Wheel of the Law)
2.
I have made available a ladder---Zhuan Falun---for people
to climb up to Heaven
He*
is at a very low level because he did not explain the principles
of practice, the characteristics of the universe and how
people can ascend to a higher plane. In contrast, I systematically
explain the principles of practice and guide people to attain
all-round fulfillment. I have done something unprecedented
and opened a door for people. So that is why a very high
level god told me, "You have made a available a ladder---Zhuan
Falun---for people to climb up to Heaven."
(Falun Fofa---Sermons in Sydney)
* refers to Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism---(editor's
note)
3.
I have countless law-bodies. They look like me and they
have the same power as the Buddha
I
have countless law-bodies and they all look like me. They
are in another space and are able to become large or small
as they wish. Full of wisdom, they have the same power as
the Buddha. Although I am the main body and they are my
incarnations, they are independent and can take care of
you and protect you. In addition, they can help you in the
practice of Falun Gong. In fact, it is I who give you protection.
¡Most of my law-bodies wear kasaya, and have
blue curly hair.
(Falun Fofa---Sermons in Sydney)
4.
Every word in the book Zhuan Falun is a wheel of law and
also one of my law-bodies
Those
who have attained some achievements in the practice of Falun
Gong can see that every word in this book* is a wheel of
law. If you can see them in another space, you'll find that
all these words are law-bodies of mine. All the components
of these words are images of Buddha. (Falun Fofa---Sermons
in Sydney) *refers to Zhuan Falun---(editor's note)
5.
Mankind had been completely destroyed 81 times
Once
I checked carefully and found that mankind had been destroyed
81 times. Only a few people survived. They lived a primitive
life with a little prehistoric civilization remaining. After
many generations of multiplication, the human race flourished
again and modern civilization appeared.
(Zhuan Falun)
6.
Humans fall down from the universe, level by level, to the
lowest level
Just as mankind lives in human society, it*
also exists in its own society. In that society, some individuals
change, becoming more complicated and selfish, which does
not accord with the demands of life in that society. Therefore,
these individuals are rejected by that higher society and
fall down to a lower one. As they become more degraded,
they fall down again. In this way, they fall down, level
by level, to the lowest level of the universe, the human
world, where they lead a low-level life and multiply in
a primitive way.
(Falun Fofa---Sermons in Sydney)
*refers to the so-called "life of higher levels in
the universe"---(editor's note)
7.
At present mankind is evil through and through
Nowadays the normal standards of the whole
of society are declining sharply. In the midst of such a
tendency, everyone is degrading, but hardly knows it. Comparing
themselves with others, some people believe themselves to
be good and nice, but they are using the wrong criterion
to judge themselves after you practice Falun Gong and ascend
to higher levels, you will surely find out that the human
world today is full of evils and mankind is degraded through
and through. It is dreadful to live here.
(Falun Fofa---Sermons in Sydney)
8. The Earth has exploded many times
The Earth is not the only planet in the universe
where life exists. There were a great number of Earths before,
right before, but they were destroyed, many of them exploding.
Each time, when the Earth has been in its final stage, life
on it has been in a state of moral degeneration. The Earth
as a whole was in great karma and had to be got rid of.
(Falun Fofa---preaching at a Ceremony in Switzerland)
9. I can protect mankind and the Earth
What I am doing today is to make mankind
and the things on Earth better. I can do it, because the
other living things, plants and animals, do not need to
know the law. I can give them a new lease of life directly.
¡How can the Earth be saved? When you practice
Falun Gong, you create a new Earth as well as going up to
higher levels yourselves.
(Falun Fofa---preaching at the First Ceremony in North America)
10. Existing religions can no longer save people from torment
As for Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism and some other religions,
I admit that in the past they were true religions. However,
in this historical period and in this society, when the
concepts of mankind are being modernized, it has become
impossible for people to understand the true concept of
the nature of man from ancient ideas¡.I tell
you this because I'm afraid you may be led astray by the
religions that cannot relieve people from their torment.
(Falun
Fofa---preaching at the First Ceremony in North America)
11.
"Falun Dafa" is a magnificent palace, while Christianity
is just a small and simple room
What I'm preaching is the law of the universe.
It is the biggest Dafa from top to bottom in the universe,
which can create a living environment for all living creatures,
gods in different levels and human beings. It is unreasonable
to equate "Falun Dafa" with Christianity, for
"Falun Dafa" is a magnificent palace while Christianity
is just a very small, simple room.
(Falun Fofa---Preaching in Europe)
12.
Taking medicines merely presses back karma and finally destroys
you
¡Diseases do not arise from this space. Taking
medicines can kill the surface virus, and it really works.
But the power achieved by practicing Falun Gong can automatically
eliminate viruses and karma. When medicines kill the surface
virus, other viruses and karma in other spaces know it and
do not come to you, so you feel better. But I assure you
they are still there. Human beings accumulate karma from
beginning to end. When a person accumulates too much karma
his illness will be incurable and he will be thoroughly
destroyed when he dies.
(Falun Fofa---Preaching in the United States)
13.
The basic cause of all illness and misfortune is karma
Why do people have diseases? The basic cause
of all illness and misfortune is karma. Illness came from
the karmic field formed by black substances. It is negative
and bad. All bad spiritual things are negative and black.
That's why it comes. This environment is suitable for it.
Karma is the fundamental cause and the most important source
of illness.
¡Birth, old age, disease and death are preordained.
They are karmic retributions. Once you owe debts, you have
to repay them.
(Zhuan Falun)
14. The Nanjing Massacre and Hitler's killing were caused
by changes of astronomical phenomena
More than three million* Chinese were killed
in the Nanjing massacre. That is nothing to us. The two
atomic bombs killed even more people, Hitler killed a lot
of people, and many people died in World War II, many more
people have died in wars in the past. All these things were
caused by changes of astronomical phenomena.
(Excerpts from a taped speech by Li Hongzhi)
*The actual number of people killed was more than 300 thousand---(editor's
note)
15. What I am doing was arranged by myself
countless years ago
In fact, what I'm doing now was arranged
by myself, countless years ago. This includes those who
have attained Fa, but appear as ordinary people. In fact,
what I have learned from my masters in this life, I taught
them in previous lives. When the right time has arrived,
they have returned to teach me as I arranged.
(Falun Fofa---Essentials for Attaining the Highest Level)
16. French presidents were all emperors,
that is the arrangement of gods
Although people want democracy, they never
really get it, because only gods control this world. They
let those who have more fortune and are more capable be
higher officials; those who have less fortune and are not
capable have no chance. The Paris Commune overthrew the
monarchy*, but I tell you, the presidents of France were
all emperors. That is another arrangement of the gods. Everything
is under the control of the gods.
(Falun Fofa---Preaching in Switzerland)
*In fact, it was the French Revolution of 1789 which overthrew
the monarchy---(editor's note)
17. When you reach a very high level after spiritual cultivation,
you may gain compound eyes like those of flies
¡Beyond the worldly spiritual
cultivation, compound eyes appear. That is to say, a big
eye appears on the upper half of the face, with countless
small eyes in it. Practitioners at master level may have
many eyes, filling the whole of their faces. All these eyes
may see anything they want to see through this big eye.
One glance may see through all levels. Modern zoologists
and entomologists have studied flies. Their eyes are very
large, and through a microscope one can see that they contain
many small eyes. This phenomenon is called a compound eye.
Only when a person reaches a very high level can he attain
compound eyes.
(Zhuan Falun)
18.
The more powerful spellbound-holding Dafa can ferret out
the original soul
We have another, more powerful Gong called Spellbound-holding
Dafa. It can ferret out a man's original soul and immediately
make him unable to move.
(Zhuan Falun)
19.
"Sumingtong" can see man's future and past
The way "Sumingtong" works is like
having a small television screen on a person's forehead.
Some have it on the forehead; some near the forehead; some
within the forehead. Some may see it without opening their
eyes; some may see it with their eyes open if it is strong
enough. But others cannot see it because it is something
within one's own field. When this capability has been attained,
another capability is needed to act as a carrier and reflect
scenes from another dimension. That's why we may, through
the "Tianmu", or "heaven eye", clearly
see a man's future and past. No matter how well fortune-telling
works, it cannot predict small or detailed events. But this
does, even allowing one to see the exact time. For what
one sees is the true reflection of people and matters in
different dimension.
(Zhuan Falun)
20. When you reach a very high level, you
may have what you want and do what you want to do
A person who reaches the highest level of
spiritual cultivation, may have what he wants and do what
he wants to do. In his world, he has everything. This is
his virtue and has resulted from his hard cultivation.
(Zhuan Falun)
21. I will stage a marvelous spectacle by bringing all my
disciples to fly into the sky
I will stage a marvelous spectacle by bring all my disciples
to fly into the sky. Those who do not want their bodies
may melt them away in the air. This will be a glory never
seen throughout history, and leave a valuable lesson to
people.
(Falun Fofa---Preaching in Europe)
22. When you attain all-round fulfillment
you will become gods, and you can hold the Earth in your
hand without least effort
If you really attain all-round fulfillment,
you have cultivated yourself into a very great deity or
a Buddha. Do you have this kind of power? Certainly. You
have the power not only to save your relatives from torment,
but you can hold the Earth in your hand without least effort.
(Falun Fofa---Preaching in Europe)
