What have Buddhist masters said about Falun Gong? Its founder, Li Hongzhi, claims to be a Buddha with supernatural powers greater than Sakyamuni (the historic Buddha). He also claims the practice to be of the Buddha school. What is Buddhism’s position on Falun Gong?
well I havent participated much in this Falun Gong discussion because it has much too much politics involved.
And I have seen very similar practises being used in Falun Gong.
Much of the practise of this lineage that I practise, begins with a yoga practise that is similar in many other lineages of yogas, including the Indian Kundalini awakenings.
But perhaps I am being cowardly, I do not know enough about Falun Gong’s actual heart practise to describe or compare it.
I hold reference to a convo about rainbow light attainment. Although I have also seen a cult in ****** describing similar practises, but the heart practises (Yoga’s) are suspiciously impure.
OOPS, BTW I have no right to answer this, cause I am NOT a Buddhist Master.
The mind is like a candle flame, blown by the 5 winds of distraction, to the past and future.
Prana,
We are all Buddhist masters we just don’t realize it.
Sincerely
Scott
Scott, Prana, Speak…
What is the realization of Buddha?
What is the actualization of Buddha?
(Hint: Whats that?)

Greets Scott,
I hope you are okay, haven’t heard from you since the horrific tragedy. Anyway, take care. I hope you are well. But glad to know you are still typing (posting).

Prana,
Thank you for the kind words. I actually have a job now and I work 10 hour days so I may be posting less frequently.
Nexus,
Don’t you mean, “What is this?”
Sincerely,
Scott
