Plot Behind the “Organ Harvesting” rumor Li Hongzhi and his “Falun Gong” cult fabricated and hyped the “organ harvesting” lie through his media in order to attract the attention of the Western media and smeared the Chinese government. Facts are facts, however, and they are never defeated by lies. After the truth was exposed, the lies quickly turned out to be a farce. Nevertheless, why does the “Falun Gong” organization keep stirring up trouble? After careful investigations, the author discovered that Li Hongzhi is trying to cover his plot under the disguise of the “organ harvesting” rumor.

1. The “karma elimination theory” killed so many lives

“Why are people sick? The root cause of their illness and misfortunes is karma, a black material field. It is negative and bad. And those bad spirits are also negative and black. They move up from hell and find the environment on Earth suitable for them. They are the root cause of people’s illness and the main sources of diseases.” (Zhuan Falun) Li Hongzhi advocates that the root causes of illness are “karma”, “moral corruption” and “spirit from another space” instead of pathological changes of the body. So the disciples who practice “Falun Gong” no longer seek medical treatment when they get sick. Therefore, once the disciples feel not well, they immediately owe it to “strong karma” and choose to “remove the karma” by practicing “Falun Gong” instead of taking medicine. Li Hongzhi said, “If a person takes medicine or receives medical treatment when he is sick, he actually pushes the disease into his body. No sooner is the karma of one’s past life eliminated than new and various diseases appear because he hurts others this life.” Therefore, many disciples believed his heresy and became disabled or even dead due to delayed treatment. For example, Tu Guixun, who lived in Qinglongzui Community, Qinglong Street, Yunyang County of Chongqing, felt dizzy and bleary-eyed when he “sat in mediation and practiced Falun Gong”. He thought his “god’s eyes were open”. Later, he suffered more and more serious headache and blurred vision. Put into hospital, he was diagnosed with glaucoma. Due to delayed treatment, he lost his eyesight. Hu Guangying, a retired worker in Shanghai, was infected with a common skin disease. As a “Falun Gong” practitioner, she believed in “karma elimination” and refused to seek medical treatment or take any medicine. As a result, she suffered from suppurative infection and died. So many fresh lives were destroyed and lost. One should cherish his life and respect other people’s. As the saying goes, everyone’s life is equal. Over seven years from 1983 to 1990, Li Hongzhi himself sought medical treatment in the Hospital Affiliated to the Health School of Changchun City, No. 208 Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, and the Third Clinical Hospital of Norman Bethune Medical University. From July 8 to 18, 1984, he was hospitalized in the No.3 Surgery Department of Jilin Provincial People’s Hospital for acute appendicitis. That was what the “Biggest Buddha in the Universe” did when he was sick.

2. “The theory of the elimination of harmful affections” led to so many tragedies of family separation

Li Hongzhi said, “Obsessed with family, you will get tired, entangled and evil. Family ties will harass your life. When you are old, you will regret. (Commandments of Practitioners) “You will not make a good practitioner if you don’t abandon your love, desire and worldly affections. Only when you get rid

of all bad thoughts in ordinary people, will you make progress. Only by giving up all the love and desires in the human world, can you reach consummation.” (Zhuan Falun) Li Hongzhi’s absurd theories triggered so many tragedies: Zhu Changjiu, a practitioner of “Falun Gong” in Qingta Township, Renqiu City of Hebei Province, killed his parents at home because they burned his books of “Falun Gong”; Fu Yibin, a “Falun Gong” addict in Xicheng District of Beijing, killed his father and his wife, and severely wounded his mother; Guan Sheyun, a practitioner of “Falun gong” in Meixi District, Yichun City of Heilongjiang Province, strangled her daughter Dai Nan, who was under 9 years old then, in front of dozens of other practitioners. As so many innocent people died and so many families broke down for ridiculous reasons, Li Hongzhi himself enjoyed happiness with his wife and his daughter.

3. “The theory of money abandonment” took away so many hard-earned incomes

Li Hongzhi once said, “Do not take money or material seriously.” (Zhuan Falun) “Those who are obsessed with money are bad practitioners, bad teachings, and bad doctrines. They will never become Buddha no matter how hard they try.” (Commandments of Practitioners) “Practitioners of the Falun Gong must abandon their desire for money and material.” (The Principles of Disciples). He said one thing to the disciples, but did quite another. It is not a secret that Li Hongzhi is greedy for money and rakes in money by unfair means. When he started to “preach Falun Gong”, he attracted followers by claiming that he could “cure them” under the banner of “fitness”. Although he claimed to offer free treatment, he put a “donation box” at home and indicated his disciples to tell the patients that they should “donate” at least RMB 100. Later he said, “If you want to learn Falun Gong, you must read books, watch videos, and listen to records.” He printed a large number of books and produced plenty of audio tapes, video tapes, and VCDs in the name of the Falun Gong organization. These products were sold to disciples at RMB 300 each. Later, he “launched” clothes and pads for practice purposes and transformed the original books about “Falun Gong” into more expensive “hardcover books” and sold them to disciples. He also preached “give to get” and “give little but get much”. He scammed the disciples out of different “donations”. In his article “Understanding and Reflecting on the Cult Falun Gong”, Li Chang said, “When someone complained about Li Hongzhi’s tax evasion and scam in Changchun in November 1994...he secretly asked Liu Guirong, who was in charge of the money, to burn the financial records and sabotaged the accounting and auditing.” Wei Manping, a teacher of Songcun Middle School in Changzi County of Shanxi Province, said: “I clearly discovered that Li Hongzhi had the intention to rob money from numerous practitioners by tempting them to buy his books and tapes from the beginning. His gains are immeasurable.” Under the disguise of the “organ harvesting” rumor, Li Hongzhi and his “Falun Gong” organization robbed the disciples of their lives, affections and possessions. What a hateful man he is!
