Zhang Fei - I like his crazy spirit! But, he was a jerk and got really sloppy when given power.
I know and have played the videogames that were mentioned in your other thread. Funnily enough I found out about 3 Kingdoms from video games in the 80's, and have played many others featuring that period since. I know about this TV series but I've never seen a subtitled version. I will check it out. Have you read Records of the 3 Kingdoms/San Guo Ji?
What didn't you like about Falun Gong book? Not trying to start an argument between you and Warlord, just asking. Before this thread I knew it only as some religious group that had heat with the government. Reply here or pm me - whichever suits you.
Sorry for the long delay Which Doctor! Getting back finally! No...have not read any of the books you have mentioned other than Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I do know of the others...just have not read...yet! I am going to copy and paste what is not good IMO about Falun Dafa...specific about Li...the founder and leader.
Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, says that the mixed blood, the offspring of different race marriage or "hybrid," is rootless human variants, who are evidence of human moral depravity in present age.
"As far as humans go, people of mixed race no longer have corresponding human races in heaven."(Teaching the Fa at a New York Meeting, 1997)
"Any ethnicity in the world is a race that corresponds with the heavens. After mixing blood people no longer have their correspondence to the gods in the heavens. And then it is possible that none of the gods that created humans will take care of them. Then with regard to these people, they are very pitiable."(Teaching the Fa at the Conference in Houston)
"After races are mixed up, you will find one's child born to be an infant of mixed blood. However, there is a partition in the middle of this child's life. If it is separated, he will be physically and intellectually incomplete or a person with an incomplete body."(Lecture in Sydney)
Li Hongzhi explains that the existence of mixed blood people is a conspiracy organized by the alien keeping the human from contacting with the paradise. Li holds that people of mixed blood are evil people and they are the manifestation of human degeneration.
As he was lecturing in Switzerland, he said: "The aliens mixed the human races, thus to separate the human from god." Below are the "ten sins" listed by Li Hongzhi: mixed blood, homosexual, computer user, tradition breaker, democracy believer, people "superstitiously" believing in science and etc.
"This science was set up by aliens. Their purpose was to unify human beings...Spain was the vanguard for mixing the human races. The way alien beings get human beings to shake free of the gods is to mix the races, causing human beings to become rootless people, just like the plant hybrids people make nowadays. South Americans, Central Americans, Mexicans and some people in South East Asia – all of these races have been mixed. None of this can evade the gods' eyes. Alien beings have made rather extensive preparations for overtaking human beings." (Teaching the Fa at the Conference in Switzerland)
"At present, the cultures of humankind are in a muddle – they are messy combinations of all sorts, and human races are becoming more and more mixed. These have indeed driven humankind to slide to a very dangerous stage." (Lecture at the First Conference in North America)
Li Hongzhi advocates segregation between races.
"Though oriental people and Westerners all live on earth, man does not know that there is something separating the East and the West."(Lecture in Sydney)
"If you don't belong to that race or you aren't from that god's paradise, he won't take you."(Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. Fa Conference)
Accusing China of committing genocide
After the official ban on Falun Gong, the vast majority of Falun Gong practitioners are now living a happy life. However, Falun Gong widely spread rumors of genocide, claiming the Chinese government was persecuting "more than one million Falun Gong followers who believed in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" and committing "genocide." Chinese leaders were sued excessively by Falun Gong organization.
Falun Gong alleged that the self-immolation and homicide cases released by the media were instigation of public hatred against it. In June 1999, Zhao Zhizhen, former chief of the Wuhan TV Station, produced a TV feature named Li Hongzhi: the Man, His Deeds and Fabrications. Later Falun Gong accused Zhao of "stirring up hatred with media."
On March 14, 2008, Lhasa violence caused heavy loss of life and property to local residents, and severely impaired the social order. The Chinese government handled the incident according to law, but Falun Gong called white black by describing it as the "genocide of Tibetans."
In October 2008, an international roundtable on "Information Extremism: The Truth and Falsehood of Falun Gong Cult" was held in Kiev, Ukraine. Experts at the conference concluded that "the doctrine of Falun Gong was of distinctive cult characteristics, and it implemented information extremism by stirring up hatred among religions, communities and citizens."
Here is interview with Li from 1999...
Time: Why does chaos reign now?
Li: Of course there is not just one reason. The biggest cause of society's change today is that people no longer believe in orthodox religion.They go to church, but they no longer believe in God. They feel free to do anything. The second reason is that since the beginning of this century, aliens have begun to invade the human mind and its ideology and culture.
Time: Where do they come from?
Li: The aliens come from other planets. The names that I use for these planets are different . Some are from dimensions that human beings have not yet discovered. The key is how they have corrupted mankind. Everyone knows that from the beginning until now, there has never been a development of culture like today. Although it has been several thousand years, it has never been like now.
The aliens have introduced modern machinery like computers and airplanes. They started by teaching mankind about modern science, so people believe more and more science, and spiritually, they are controlled. Everyone thinks that scientists invent on their own when in fact their inspiration is manipulated by the aliens. In terms of culture and spirit, they already control man. Mankind cannot live without science.
The ultimate purpose is to replace humans. If cloning human beings succeeds, the aliens can officially replace humans. Why does a corpse lie dead, even though it is the same as a living body? The difference is the soul, which is the life of the body. If people reproduce a human person, the gods in heaven will not give its body a human soul. The aliens will take that opportunity to replace the human soul and by doing so they will enter earth and become earthlings.
When such people grow up, they will help replace humans with aliens. They will produce more and more clones. There will no longer be humans reproduced by humans. They will act like humans, but they will introduce legislation to stop human reproduction.
Time: What are the aliens after?
Li: The aliens use many methods to keep people from freeing themselves from manipulation. They make earthlings have wars and conflicts, and develop weapons using science, which makes mankind more dependent on advanced science and technology. In this way, the aliens will be able to introduce their stuff and make the preparations for replacing human beings. The military industry leads other industries such as computers and electronics.
Time: But what is the alien purpose?
Li: The human body is the most perfect in the universe. It is the most perfect form. The aliens want the human body.
Time: What do aliens look like?
Li: Some look similar to human beings. U.S. technology has already detected some aliens. The difference between aliens can be quite enormous.
Time: Can you describe it?
Li: You don't want to have that kind of thought in your mind.
Time: Describe them anyway.
Li: One type looks like a human, but has a nose that is made of bone. Others look like ghosts. At first they thought that I was trying to help them. Now they now that I am sweeping them away.
