“法輪功”是20世紀90年代初開始在中國發(fā)展起來的一個邪教。 它的頭目李洪志自吹法輪功是宇宙大法，最超常的科學。實際上“法輪功”是李洪志拼湊起來的。李洪志的“功底”來自于中國氣功“禪密功” “九宮八卦”及泰國舞蹈。
李洪志以“強身健體”為誘餌，欺騙一些人加入法輪功，然后又用 “世界末日”、 “升天圓滿”等邪說對練習者實行精神控制，致使1700多人因練習法輪功而死亡。
李洪志于1992年創(chuàng)立法輪功后，在北京設(shè)立“法輪大法研究會”，自任會長。此后，又陸續(xù)在各省、自治區(qū)、直轄市設(shè)立了9個法輪功輔導總站，總站下又分設(shè)1900多個輔導站、28000多個練功站，自上而下形成了一個完整的組織系統(tǒng)。這些站點均未在中國民政部門合法登記，并進行非法活動，宣揚迷信邪說，蒙騙群眾，挑動制造事端，破壞社會穩(wěn)定。
1999年7月，中國政府根據(jù)“法輪功”的違法事實和廣大公眾的要求，依法取締了“法輪功”。
Introduction of Falun Gong
Falun Gong is a cult that emerged in China in the early 1990s, whose founder Li Hongzhi boasting it to be a universal law and the most supernatural science. As a matter of fact, Falun Gong is made up by Li Hongzhi on the base of Chinese Qigong exercises such as "Chan Gong" and "Jiugong Bagua" and Thai dancing.
Li Hongzhi used "keeping strong and fit" as bait to allure some people into Falun Gong and then manipulated the practitioner`s mind with fallacies such as "doomsday" and "consummation", resulting in more than 1,700 people to have died as a result of practicing Falun Gong.
After the founding of Falun Gong in 1992, Li Hongzhi created Falun Dafa Research Society in Beijing and assumed himself its chairman. Later on, he successively set up 9 general stations for the teaching of Falun Gong, more than 1,900 teaching stations and more than 28,000 practicing stations around China, forming an integrated organizational system of Falun Gong. These stations or general stations, not legally registered in the Chinese civil affairs authorities, had carried out many illegal activities, preached superstition and fallacies, fooled people, instigated and made troubles and disrupted social and public order.
In July 1999, Chinese government outlawed Falun Gong in light of its criminal activities and the public desire.
