Flashback: Interview with Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Gong

TIME: What is the final goal?

Li: The ultimate purpose is to enable people to attain the Tao and to complete their cultivation practice. In the end they can free themselves from the worldly state. I know that human lives are not created from the dimension that human beings think they know.

(Minghui.org) On April 29, 2012, more than 7,000 Falun Gong practitioners assembled at Freedom Square in Taipei to form a spectacular image of Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong.

The image was 120 meters long and 90 meters wide. Dazzling colors of red, orange, yellow, green, dark green, blue and purple embrace the compassionate and solemn image, demonstrating the enormous energy of the Buddha's light that illuminates everywhere. Ms. You, a passerby, said excitedly, “This is the first time that I have seen such tremendous cohesion and energy. I was surprised upon seeing such a spectacular scene. I have never seen the formation of such an image, and it is hard for me to imagine how to imagine how it is done. Now I know, it's marvelous.”

New York Hosts World’s Largest International Falun Dafa Conference


WHITE PLAINS, New York—Sunday marked the culmination of events around New York, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Falun Gong’s introduction to the public. Over the weekend, practitioners held events at Times Square, Chinatown, outside the Chinese Consulate, and in parks all over Manhattan. On Sunday, more than 7,000 people attended a conference at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, N.Y., where they shared about their improvements in the practice.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual practice with teachings based on the principles of being honest, kind, and tolerant, and that also involves doing gentle exercises and sitting meditation.

The day of the conference, May 13, held special significance, since it’s the birthday of Falun Gong’s founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi. May 13 is also celebrated each year as World Falun Dafa Day.

Li Hongzhi: To Choose

Li Hongzhi, the founder of the spiritual discipline Falun Dafa

 

To Choose

The Dafa (the Great Way) that saves the world was born in the East,
It is not the wicked Chinese Communist Party [that can save the world].
Why did the Lord Creator choose that land?
To use the flames burning the wicked Party to temper the Vajras.
Are Dafa disciples any different from Jesus?
People, do not choose the wrong direction,
Curry favor with the wicked regime, and you’ll be duped by demons.
Dafa has already spread to the West from China,
Only by learning the truth is there hope of salvation!
Li Hongzhi
