For several years I practiced Tai Chi, and some meditation, and then I came across Falun Gong 4 years ago. I have to say that I have never felt better in my whole life, I am at peace, have more energy, I am more focussed, I could go on with the benefits I have received from practicing Falun Gong. I think alot of the comments like yours are made when people do not truly understand, it is so easy to point the finger, to be sceptical and be the critic, it takes nothing to be this way. However take it from somebody that has followed Falun Gong for this length of time, there is no cult basis with Falun Gong, it is an individual practicing his/her self improvement through Falun Gong, following Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, which I would hope you agree are good attributes to have and to do the Qi Gong exercises. The Chinese Communist Party are a dictatorship and will suppress any group that they fear as a threat to their power and control of the peoples minds, whether they are or not. You might say that the cult is the Party, its use of propaganda to control the masses is in my opinion cult-like. Also, you have failed to mention the fact that they are actually persecuting Falun Gong adherents in China to death, using various sick means of torture, to date more than 3300 have died, the figure could be 10 or 100 times higher. Then there is the organ harvesting from live Falun Gong people as well. I would like to finish by saying that I hope that you will take it from somebody that knows Falun Gong better from personal practice, that it is not as the CCP propaganda has put out, or as in your article, for me it is a very good, upright, honest and healthy practice that benefits people of all ages and backgrounds to be healthier and happier, and to gain a perspective on life that I never had before.
