Synopsis
The Falun Gong phenomenon burst into being like a supernova in 1991 when a working class man and former soldier, Li Honzhi, began teaching simple lessons and exercises inspired by qi gong, the exercises practised by millions of Chinese every morning. Within years this movement's numbers reached as high as 100 million in China (making it larger than the Communist party,) its leader was exiled in the West and the movement was banned by the communist authorities. Meanwhile the Falun Gong's massive but peaceful demonstration against this banning in Tiananmen Square have led to persecution of its members, along with show trials and imprisonment. Li's teachings are rooted in an eclectic synthesis of the ancient and traditional Chinese beliefs of Taoism and Buddhism: take care of your family, respect your neighbours, abandon materialism and ambition, choose not to hate your enemies and try to be a better person. The authors recount the life of Master Li and examine the Falun Gong's beliefs and practices.
