Since 1994, some former Falun Gong insiders have been revealing the truth about the deceit and illegal money-collection by the Falun Gong and the unusual deaths of its practitioners. These revelations were covered by the media.
Mr. Li Hongzhi said:
Laws made by humans have rigidly regulated and stifled people. People have been controlled like animals and there is no way out.
An ordinary person in pursuit of nirvana must go through a real trial, otherwise his efforts cannot count. But since there are so many followers pursuing this, it is better for them to go together than to go one at a time. Actually, I think the number of people involved is far from enough.
There were over 300 such sieges in different parts of China before the Falun Gong was banned by the Chinese Government in late July 1999.

Falun gong has been banned by Chinese government more than a decade ago. There are still some people both in and out of China practising Falun gong. Maybe these people think that Mr. Li is right. What should a person pursuiting of virvana do? Does he/she should endure illness without seeking medical treatment when they are ill?I hear that most the practitioner began to practise falun gong in order to get rid of their illness. They wanted to make them stronger and healthier, not seeking the pursuiting of nivana. Not to say them going together to seek the nirvana.
