"Jana Banana",
so in other words, Falungong does have an agenda and its members don't declare their affiliation, as your two posts indicate.

Look, I support Falungong's attacks on the Chinese government, I just wish they were open about their activities. Running a global tv network and a global newspaper sound to me like you have more on your minds than "just practising our meditation in peace".

I am disturbed by the way an organization of such enormous resources can define itself so completely in terms of its persecution by the Chinese government. Such a definition conceales Falungong's pursuit of its own political and Chinese cultural agenda. How does this global tv "gala" fit within Falungong's project, for example, of "just practising our meditation in peace"?


To be honest, if Falungong is just mediation, then Scientology is just psychotherapy.

The $300 Million Man (Minister Downer) should comment on this issue, however, I will cut him some slack becuase he appears to have more pressing issues on his mind.

HI mhar,

Yes you are right Falun Gong does have an agenda and that is to stop this Genocidal persecution of Falun Gong in China. We have never denied that, infact how could we when you see us everywhere appealing to people's good conscience to support the end of the persection. Call it what you like, agenda, being political , we dont mind because we know what we are doing and that is simply saving people's lives.
Is it wrong to call a murderer a murderer? We are not interested in politics. We dont want to run for political positions or take over any country. We simply want to save peoples lives and end this persecution.
We go to work everyday as people do, does that make my job a Falun Gong job? I work in a cafe does that mean that the cafe is a Falun Gong cafe and is supported and financed by Falun Gong?

Falun Gong is a meditation not a work place or business. That is like saying that The Australian newspaper is run by christians and therefore is financed by Christians just because some Christians work there.

We have nothing to hide. We may be difficult to understand by some because there is not another spiritual movement in the world today practising principles of truth compassion and tolerance while living in society. These types of practices are normally practised in monastries well away from society. This is a unique feature of Falun Gong as it makes us really strong and able to intergrate these principles of truth compassion and tolerance while under the temptations of fame wealth that drives most people who only wish to live a good life.
With one hundred milion people practising Falun Gong in the world isn"t that a force for the good in these times? Why is that only the Chinese Communist regime has a problem with us? Because we practice truth compassion and tolerence which as you know is the exact opposite of what they practise deceit, murder persection.
I hope this helps you understand Falun Gong better.
