Boasts Collapsing at a Single Blow

By Jia Fang

Facts bitterly mock "Falun Dafa": The nonsense talked by Li Hongzhi and his Turning the Wheel of the Law have collapsed at a single blow before the facts.

Boastful Li Hongzhi does not have even a smattering of common sense. According to him, only his "Falun Dafa" can "completely illustrate the spaces housing mankind and substances, as well as life and the entire universe." Actually, he does not know even the ABC of about the universe and nature. For example, he believes that the universe is made up of "more than 2.7 billion galactic systems." But about 125 billion such galactic systems have already been observed.

Take another example. According to Li Hongzhi, "Nowadays mankind has committed all sorts of wickedness," and "all is corrupting in the human world today." This obviously contradicts common sense. It has been proved that the history of human evolution for the past thousands of years is one of civilization and progress, which, though full of frustrations, has brilliant prospects. All progress and achievements in human history come from human labor and creation, unlike Li Hongzhi's idea that they "were brought into being and developed under the control and impetus of extraterrestrials." Li Hongzhi alleges that, "all devils will emerge and disrupt the world and laws." In fact he himself is such a "devil."

Li Hongzhi hawks the "supremacy" of his "Falun Dafa," but questions from workers, farmers and soldiers are enough to make him speechless. He boasts that he "attained the superb Great Law with supernatural powers at the age of eight." But can his "Falun Gong" and chanting incantations temper ore into molten steel, make crops ripe or withstand floods? An infinite number of such questions can be raised. Since he "understands the truth of the universe, has insights into life, foretells the future of mankind," has the ability to explode or postpone the explosion of the earth, and takes the responsibility of "saving" mankind and compatriots upon himself, why didn't he predict the attack on the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia by the NATO headed by the U.S., and mobilize "Falun Gong" to stop this tragedy? Could it be said that he colluded with them and deliberately hurt his compatriots?

Needless to say, his deceitful statements about the universe and society are absurd. The cases of unfortunate practitioner who cut open his abdomen with a pair of scissors to look for the "wheel of the law," and the one who knocked a nail into his forehead to give himself a celestial eye are enough to tear apart Li Hongzhi's "theory." How grieved were those "Falun Gong" practitioners who did not go to hospital in the belief that Master Li could cure them of their illnesses without medical treatment when they learned that their "Master" had often kept some medicines and cupping moxas in readiness for emergency use at his luxurious residence and had even been operated on for acute appendicitis in hospital! The people deceived by "Falun Gong" learned the truth with a single pertinent remark: "'Falun Gong' is a Qigong which harms the entire family of a practitioner."
