  1. Thanks, about the end of the world in FG we only show people the prophecies and they point to these few years up remaining until 2019(1999-2019) before the seven years of suffering will start.
  2. You say you tried the exercises, can you tell me how long you could sit in double Lotus(many beginners can not do it at all)?
  3. Here you will see the world´s most detailed prophecy about the end times and Falun Dafa: > Notes by Ge An is a prophecy by a Korean scholar and astronomer Nan > Shigu (1509-1571). During a childhood encounter with a sage in a Korean > mountain, Kum Kang San, Nan heard the prophecy which he was to later > turn into a book. Notes by Ge An was unknown for nearly 450 years until > 1986, when a Korean scholar began to investigate the books content. By > the end of the 1980s, the book had become very popular in South Korea. > > The book states that a sage named Li will start to teach the Great Tao > and exercises in Changchun (a city in northeast China). The book also > alludes to Falun Gong, the Falun Emblem, as well as the persecution of > Falun Gong practitioners in China. In addition, the prophecy says that > Li's teachings will encompass all the various teachings present during > that historical period of time. > > *Below are some excerpts from the book:* > > 1. The sage mentioned in the book is named after wood (Li in Chinese > means plum tree). He has the sign of the Rabbit (born in 1951), and he > is born in April of lunar calendar, just north of the 38th parallel. > > 2. This sage is said to be the king of all kings in heaven. People will > refer to him as Buddha Maitreya when he descends to this world, as he > teaches the orthodox Tao. > > 3. The 'Three Words and Two Whites' mentioned in the book refer to the > three characters, Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance). > The 'Two Whites' refer to the 'White Heart and the White Body,' i.e. the > cultivation of Xinxing (mind nature/moral quality) and the > transformation of Benti (one's physical body and bodies in other > dimensions). > > 4. The book describes the Falun Emblem in great detail. > > 5. It mentions that Falun Gong has the effect of 'clearing circulation,' > 'small clearing circulation,' and of 'unblocking the passages and > channels.' > > 6. The book clearly indicates that Sage Li will start his teaching in > Changchun (Changchun means 'green forest' in Chinese). > > 7. In the section A Statement about the Dharma Ending Period, the book > predicts that in the summer, on July 20th, Falun Dafa will be persecuted > by evil forces. > > 8. The book mentions that after enduring the tribulations, practitioners > in China will see 'daylight in the future.' > > 9.

Those who persecute Dafa will perish forever, and the day when > hundreds of millions of practitioners all over the world celebrate will > eventually come. The book warns people, however, to not turn away from > Falun Dafa because of temporary tribulations. Those who leave Dafa will > perish and those who follow will prevail. > 11. The Fa that Sage Li teaches is the orthodox Fa, which is flawless. > The book clearly points out that people should study the Fa and read the > books more. > 12. It says that the sage will not live in the capital city, but rather > travel to the west. > 13. The time for the sage's teaching will not be long. > 14. Falun Dafa practitioners will not escape from prison. They will have > to suffer the tribulation of harsh jail terms. > 15.

  4. All of you, can you tell me if you oppose the FG persecution in China? Do you have any compassion to offer those FG cultivators who are imprisoned and tortured in China as we speak? I truly hope you do have compassion for those people.
  5. I see emotions(and exclamation marks) in your message. There are seven emotions to cultivate away in Buddhism: http://www.mandarinbook.info/chinesewords/monosyllabic/buddhist_emotions.php I wish you a nice day
  6. Rage is an emotion and an attachment to cultivate away in all upright schools... I wish you good luck.
  7. Reliance or refuge, I can not see the importance of that. You need a Master to cultivate up and be able to protect yourself from demons. In fact Master is not protecting us, his Fashen do it. So there is a major difference. Most FG practitioners never met Master in person. Master gives you alot and he eliminates alot of your karma too when you decide to do true cultivation. In return you must assist him and help him as much as possible. I agree on there having been self-cultivators but also they will have a Master who passes by and find them extraordinary and help them achieve Gong and third eye etc. It is just not that he might be aware of his Master. All of this is explained in Zhuan Falun. Everyone enlightens to his level and truth. It will change as you raise your level. Good luck and thanks for your message!
  8. I want to reach extremely high Gong levels so how could I be satisfied with Qi Gong for health? I need a theory to follow so I can reach high levels, in my opinion FG has the best and most simple theory on how to do this. Well, Gong means cultivation energy in FG, some other Chinse translate it into "special skill". To make Gong you need special skills and yu must be a high level Master to do it, as a cultivator you receive Gong from your Master. You get this Gong when you release attachments(ie jealousy, fame, gain, lust, food and drink, mental pleasures, sleep). Without a Master you can not transform your virtue into Gong and that applies to all righteous cultivation schools according to FG. Ie in Tantrism you need a high-level Lama to guide you etc. In FG Master Li will help you transform virtue into Gong as you release your attachments. This is what FG is all about but we include both schols since we want to cultivate the whole universe and nothing can be excluded. Therefore focus is on Zhen-Shan-Ren, not only Zhen and Shan focus like in Tao or Buddhist schools. In addition we live like everyday people and confront the big dye vat of modern society every day and hence really must be strong to be able to release our attachments. This is nothing like fleeing to the mountains and alienate yourself from the normal world. Here we welcome all confrontations with our attachments every day, we get temptations all the day. It is not easy. Funny that you talk about Lord Buddha, when Falun Dafa is talking badly about Buddhism: from http://www.falundafa.org/book/eng/lec_glo.html. I wonder what the Buddhists say to that In Buddhism they have exercises to cultivate compassion but none exists in Falun Dafa. How is this so when compassion is one of the three foundations in Falun Dafa? Now you are making wrong statements without any references. Nobody in Dafa slanders buddhism. What Master says is that in modern times many monks have stopped genuine cultivation and even charges money for consecration. Buddha Sakyamuni is held as a mighty Buddha with very high-level Dharma. Of course true Buddhism is respected by Dafa. Shan is extremely important in Dafa. Extreme tolerance and benevolence is very important for all Dafa disciples. Who says compassion arises from exercises? Compassion arises from your heart and must be cultivated by xinxing cultivation in my opinion. In Dafa we cultivate heart, mind and body and try to search our inner self every day for bad attachments. I have my cultivation level and I can only speak from my current level. It has nothing to do with the opinions of Master Li or other Dafa disciples. As you might be aware we believe your current truth is a reflection of your current level. As you raise it your truth becomes nearer to absolute truth. You are right about FG people not surpassing Master Li and his level. Why should we aim at that, we aim at reaching consummation which is the highest level anyone can reach and it is his original status. And of course we can develop Fashen after we unlock our Gong. By then you have your own universe and are beyond the three realms. In any righteous cultivation school you have a Master. How can you cultivate in christianity without Jesus, or in Buddhism without Buddha Sakyamuni? Or in Taoism without Lao Zi? Every school has a Master to be able to transform your virtue into Gong. It is a simple rule and nothing special for FG. I recommend you to study the books from Master Li so you understand what FG is really about. It is an amazing practice and you will realize it when you try it out by yourself. One can believe many things but without study and practice how can anyone know what it really is?...
  9. First of all Buddha Sakyamuni and Lord Buddha is not the same. Lord Buddha is the highest Buddha of the universe, the father or Holy King of the Wheel if you wish(see the Udumbara prophecy and you will know what I talk about). Buddha Sakyamuni is a Tathagata level Buddha. Those are two distinctly different beings. But of course Sakyamuni was a great and mighty being. Justl ike Lao Zi and Jesus who also reached Tataghata level. Eating pork was sometimes the only choice at that time when there was little farming. It is not about eating pork, it is about eliminating the attachment to pork(and all other things you like doing, thinking or eating)and everything else, the six desires and seven emotions. That is what cultivation is all about in Dafa. Everything(not evil or bad things but anyway, figuratively speaking) allowed as long as no attachment to it exists.
  10. Thanks! Zhen-Shan-Ren
