在李洪志歪理邪說的影響下,“法輪功”練習(xí)者在認(rèn)知和行為上產(chǎn)生嚴(yán)重的扭曲,許多人因受毒害較深,演繹出許多人間慘劇。這其中,也有不少的青少年淪為邪教“法輪功”的犧牲品,筆者收集到其中的一部分案例進(jìn)行了剖析。
一、因修煉“法輪功”導(dǎo)致自殺
案例1:2001年1月23日,7名“法輪功”人員按照李洪志“放下生死”、“追求圓滿”的要求,在北京天安門廣場集體自焚,造成2人死亡、3人重傷致殘。死亡兩人分別為劉春玲和其年僅12歲的女兒劉思影。
劉思影,女,1988年3月出生,小學(xué)5年級學(xué)生。1999年跟隨母親劉春玲在家中練習(xí)“法輪功”。自焚后全身燒傷面積達(dá)40%,頭、面部四度燒傷,呼吸困難,經(jīng)醫(yī)院全力搶救無效死亡。
案例2:1999年8月16日,中學(xué)生陳英因癡迷“法輪功”導(dǎo)致精神失常,在乘坐由北京開往佳木斯的439次列車上跳車身亡。
陳英是黑龍江省佳木斯市樹人中學(xué)高二學(xué)生,17歲。該生在校期間品學(xué)兼優(yōu),多次被評為“三好學(xué)生”。然而自從跟隨母親陳秀珍練起“法輪功”之后,度人成仙、練功成佛就占據(jù)了她整個(gè)身心。1999年7月,精神恍惚的陳英,以練功為名離家出走。其親屬、學(xué)校均花費(fèi)大量人力物力四處尋找。8月,她的家人終于將她找到。然而此時(shí)的陳英已精神失常,數(shù)次打算自殺升天。在回佳木斯的途中,陳英乘家人不備,從列車廁所的窗戶跳出。在血的事實(shí)面前,失去獨(dú)生愛女的陳秀珍追悔莫及。
原因剖析:
李洪志把人對生命的珍惜,對正常人的需求和情感,都誣蔑為“執(zhí)著”,要人們?nèi)サ簟皥?zhí)著”,才能“白日飛升”。他在1997年3月23日的《在紐約講法》中說:“放下生死你就是神,放不下生死你就只是個(gè)人”,1998年5月30、31日的《在歐洲法會上講法》中提到:“我想在你們圓滿的時(shí)候給人類帶來一個(gè)壯舉,叫所有大法弟子不管要不要身體的,都帶著身體飛上天,不要身體的在空中虹化掉,然后飛走”。這些歪理邪說為“法輪功”練習(xí)者虛構(gòu)了一個(gè)所謂的美妙景象,成為練習(xí)者不斷自殺的誘因。
除受上述經(jīng)文影響外,劉思影還受到了李洪志以下“經(jīng)文”的煽動和蠱惑:
2000年5、6月間,逃亡到國外的李洪志拋出多篇“經(jīng)文”,煽動中毒較深的“法輪功”練習(xí)者“頂著壓力走出來”,充當(dāng)其與政府與法律對抗的“炮灰”和犧牲品。在2000年6月16日發(fā)表的《走向圓滿》的“經(jīng)文”中,李洪志叫囂,只有“真正地將整個(gè)生命溶于法中”,才能“走向圓滿”。
2000年8月12日,急于顯示能量的李洪志又拋出《去掉最后的執(zhí)著》的“經(jīng)文”,宣稱“現(xiàn)在是最后修煉、得法的機(jī)會”,是“真正圓滿”的最后期限,煽動癡迷者在世紀(jì)之交“修成正果”。
2001年1月1日,李洪志又拋出《忍無可忍》的“經(jīng)文”,聲稱“如果邪惡已經(jīng)到了無可救無可要的地步,那就可以采用不同層次的各種方式制止、鏟除”,煽動癡迷者為“大法”而舍棄一切。
二、父親抱著孩子一起自殺
案例3:高恩誠,男,42歲,重慶市開縣天白鄉(xiāng)工商所干部,“法輪功”練功點(diǎn)負(fù)責(zé)人。 1997年11月,高與其妻李小芬(25歲,無業(yè))開始修煉“法輪功”,并購買了有關(guān)書籍,每天早晚堅(jiān)持練功。之后高一改過去強(qiáng)硬的個(gè)性,變得少言寡語,很少與人交往,常在家練功。 高堅(jiān)信李洪志講的修煉“法輪功”到達(dá)一定程度,會“三花聚頂”、“生原嬰”、“返本歸真”、“死后升天”、“靈魂不丟”等。
1998年11月2日,高將在銀行的存款取出,給前妻所生女兒高麗1800元,叫她好好念書,說自己已成仙。后又給自己的父母各1000元,給李小芬的母親1800元。11月5日晚,高對張之昭(練功點(diǎn)負(fù)責(zé)人之一)等人說,他前天晚上夢見妻子李小芬前世是一條大蛇,今世是毒蛇變的。當(dāng)晚及次日晨,高在家中痛哭。11月6日上午10時(shí),在工商所的學(xué)習(xí)會上高稱:“人之初,性本善,你們都沒有學(xué)懂,我才學(xué)了一年‘法輪功’,思想就達(dá)到了頂點(diǎn)?!睍?,大家與其辯論,高說:“我不與你們凡人說,只有我的兒子高雄理解我?!敝?,高回到自家樓上,先練功,后抱著兒子高雄從四樓跳下摔在壩子上。工商所干部立即叫醫(yī)生搶救,其妻李小芬卻不讓搶救,認(rèn)為李洪志能保護(hù)他。高因搶救無效死亡,小孩經(jīng)搶救脫險(xiǎn)。
案例4:重慶市永川市農(nóng)民龍剛,男,31歲,1997年開始練習(xí)練習(xí)“法輪功”。不久就出現(xiàn)了神情恍惚,經(jīng)常胡言亂語。他經(jīng)常說地球就要?dú)纾浅:ε?,聲稱自己要飛到天上去躲過災(zāi)難。1999年7月17日凌晨,他懷抱著不滿6歲的兒子,口中念念有詞,掙脫家人的阻擋,一路飛奔,縱身跳進(jìn)河中。家人和鄰居趕緊下水救人,他的兒子被及時(shí)救出,脫離了危險(xiǎn)。龍剛的尸體三天后才被發(fā)現(xiàn)。龍剛的妻子滿懷悲憤地說:“我心里很害怕,最后只得喊救命。自從他練法輪功后,精神就不正常了。要不然怎么會跳河。他整天就想著成仙成佛,還說自己能在空中坐,在空中飛。”
原因剖析:
同世界上許多邪教主一樣,李洪志也大肆鼓吹“世界末日論”。在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》等書中,李洪志宣揚(yáng)人類生來是有罪的,是因?yàn)樾膲牧瞬艔奶焐系粝聛淼?,是不可救藥的。他說:“宇宙中不好的人往下掉,掉到宇宙的中心地球。地球是宇宙的一個(gè)垃圾站”。他宣稱,“許許多多人類在不同歷史中的劫難被銷毀掉了,然后又產(chǎn)生了新的人類”,“人類有81次完全處于毀滅狀態(tài),只有極少數(shù)人活下來”,“地球第一次爆炸是我的祖師爺定的,第二次爆炸是我?guī)煾付ǖ?,第三次爆炸是我定的?!?br>
李洪志極端仇視現(xiàn)在的社會,認(rèn)為“人類在敗壞,到處都是魔”,現(xiàn)在人類已墮落到極點(diǎn),“真是十惡俱全”,“很可怕”,神已經(jīng)不拿人當(dāng)人待了,要?dú)缛祟?,“徹底的毀滅,叫形神全滅,很可怕”?!澳┙佟瘪R上就要到了,地球要爆炸了,人類要?dú)缌?。他這次“傳功”是最后一次“度人”,錯過這個(gè)機(jī)會,人們就只有死路一條。
在李洪志“末日論”的恐嚇下,許多“法輪功”練習(xí)者選擇了自殺來擺脫心理上的壓力和恐慌。
三、拒醫(yī)拒藥造成死亡
案例5:吉林省長春市南關(guān)區(qū)62歲老人宋繼華的12歲兒子因修煉“法輪功”拒醫(yī)拒藥死亡。
12年前,年屆50歲的宋繼華與老伴馬秀榮喜得雙胞胎。大兒子宋雙龍因鼻腔后先天多出兩塊軟骨,一直斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地在醫(yī)院治病。1999年元旦,宋雙龍的癥狀突然加重。此時(shí),修煉“法輪功”已有3年之久、堅(jiān)信“法輪功”能包治百病的馬秀榮,開始向在家里養(yǎng)病的兒子宋雙龍教授“法輪功”。然而,宋雙龍的病情非但沒有好轉(zhuǎn),反倒日益加重,雙眼也由先是看東西模糊,很快發(fā)展為完全失明。直到此時(shí),馬秀榮仍在頑固地指導(dǎo)連站立都十分困難的宋雙龍去做“法輪功”的各種動作,她迷信李洪志會幫助兒子擺脫魔鬼的糾纏。5月12日,年僅12歲的宋雙龍?jiān)诩抑须x開了人世。沉重的打擊,使宋繼華和馬秀榮終于醒悟。他們說,孩子在世時(shí),我們對“法輪功”抱有希望,孩子一死,我們再也不信了。
原因剖析:
李洪志在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》等書中大肆鼓吹所謂的“消業(yè)”說。說什么人們得病的根源是人在其他空間的那些身體上有“業(yè)”,這個(gè)“業(yè)”發(fā)出的“業(yè)力場”使人生病:“造成他有病和所有不幸的根本原因是業(yè)力”,“它是導(dǎo)致人有病的根本原因,這是最主要的一種病的來源”。作為修煉者要想把病全治好,想成仙成佛,就不能去醫(yī)院看病治療,而只能練“法輪功”“消業(yè)”,借“師父”的“法力”把致病的東西拿掉:“生老病死都是因緣關(guān)系的,都是業(yè)力回報(bào),你欠了債就得還。”他還說:“真正修煉的人是不會得病的,也不會遇到危險(xiǎn)……。練功的人的功自動就在消滅病毒和業(yè)力。吃藥是把業(yè)力壓了回去,就不能夠清理身體,因此也就不能治病。只有過了這一關(guān),你就是一個(gè)超常人了。”
在李洪志修煉人有病不能吃藥的誤導(dǎo)下,許多“法輪功”練習(xí)者因拒醫(yī)拒藥耽誤病情而死亡。
四、母親親自殺死自己的女兒
案例6:關(guān)淑云,女,黑龍江伊春市人。1997年4月開始練習(xí)“法輪功”。為了練功,她把其它一切都“放下”了,不干活,不管家,常常半夜起來練功,還勸丈夫一起練,夫妻經(jīng)常為此吵架。她不斷與其它練功者交流“修心”的體會,期待早日“圓滿”。2002年4月22日,關(guān)淑云家里聚集了40個(gè)法輪功練習(xí)者,包括4名十幾歲的孩子,一起練功“除魔”。4月22日早晨,關(guān)淑云不讓女兒戴楠去上學(xué),并對周圍人說戴楠身上附上了“魔”,不除掉就會貽害無窮。她對戴楠嚴(yán)厲地問道:“你到底是誰?從哪里來?干了多少壞事?害了多少人?”女兒害怕地說:“我是戴楠啊,我不是魔,我是真正的人!”但她認(rèn)定了女兒身上附有魔,就掐女兒的咽喉,女兒不斷地喊“媽媽,媽媽”,并無助地說:“我是人呀,我不是什么魔,我真的是戴楠,你殺我是犯罪的?!标P(guān)淑云告訴大家這又是魔在說話,于是又用力掐。在場的其它人,有的下跪,有的雙手合十祈求盡快地把魔除掉,有的因?yàn)楹ε履艿阶约荷砩?,遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地躲到墻角,還有的木然地看著。女兒幾番掙扎,終于抵御不住關(guān)淑云的執(zhí)意除魔,終至窒息身亡。
原因剖析:
李洪志的《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》中講,“人類社會到處都是魔”,“人類社會這些妖魔鬼怪都跑出來了,誰想拿人身上的東西就拿,想要管人就管”?!叭嗽诰毠^程中會出現(xiàn)‘招魔’現(xiàn)象?!心А侵笩捁θ嗽跓捁^程中出現(xiàn)的影響煉功的現(xiàn)象或景象,目的是阻止煉功人往高層次上修煉,也可以說是魔來討債。功法修煉到高層次,必然會遇到‘招魔’問題”?!叭绻阒粸殪畈〗∩恚蜎]有魔去管你,一旦你往高層次上修煉,它就要管你了。它可以用各種方法來打擾你,目的是不讓你往高層次上修煉,讓你修煉不成?!?br>
另外,根據(jù)李洪志的理論,不止人類能修煉,“物質(zhì)和動物也知道修煉,人類的事情是絕對不能讓這些動物干擾、主宰的。大逆之魔就是該殺的了,這也是末法末劫時(shí)期的必然?!?br>
正是由于李洪志的這些歪理邪說,才使得許多“法輪功”練習(xí)者把不練“法輪功”的人,甚至自己的親人都當(dāng)成了需要鏟除的“魔”,害人害己,后悔終生。
Case analysis of cruelly killing youngsters of Falun Gong
Influenced by the theories of Li Hongzhi, the cognition and behavior of Falun Gong practitioners had been seriously distorted. And practitioners who were deeply obsessed had caused a lot of tragedies. Among them there were many youngsters who became the victims of Falun Gong. The writher has gathered some cases and tries to make a through analysis.
I. Suicide caused because of practicing Falun Gong
Case 1: On January 23, 2001, followed Li Hongzhi's requirement of "Giving up life and death", "pursuing consummation", seven Falun Gong followers collectively burned themselves on the Tian'anmen Square in Beijing, which killed two people and severely injured and crippled three. The two dead people were Liu Chunling and her 12 years old daughter Liu Siying.
Liu Siying, female, born in March 1988, an elementary school student of fifth grade. She followed her mother Liu Chunling and began to practice Falun Gong in 1999. After the self-burning incident, the burn areas reached 40% of her whole body and the burns of her head and face reached fourth degree. It was difficult to breathe for her and she died after the wholehearted salvage of the doctors failed.
Case 2: On August 16, 1999, deluded by Falun Gong, a high school student named Chen Ying got psychiatric disorder, jumped from the train no. 439 from Beijing to Kiamusze and died.
Chen Ying was a 17-year-old second grade student of Shuren High School of Kiamusze City, Heilongjiang Province. She was a good student excellent both in conduct and learning and had been awarded "three good" student for many times. However, after practicing Falun Gong following her mother Chen Xiuzhen, releasing souls of others, practicing Gong and becoming God and Buddha became her only goals. In July 1999, Chen Ying, psychiatrically disordered, left her home in the name of practicing Gong. Her family members and her school staffs spent a lot of money and time and tried their best to look for her. In August, her family members finally found her. However, at that time Chen Ying was already psychiatrically disordered and intended to kill herself for several times. On the way back to Kiamusze, Chen Ying jumped out of the train through the window of the lavatory. When facing with the bloody reality, Chen Xiuzhen, who lost her beloved only daughter, felt too late to repent.
Analysis of the reason
Li Hongzhi libeled human being's cherishing towards life, the needs and emotions of normal people as "punctiliousness". He claimed people could become god only by getting rid of "punctiliousness". He said in "Teachings in New York City" on March 23, 1997, "If you can let go of life and death, you’re a God; if you can’t let go of life and death, you're a human - this is the difference." He also mentioned in "Teachings in European Lections", "I also want to bring humankind a magnificent scene at the time of your Consummation. My thought is this: Have all Dafa disciples, regardless of whether they need bodies or not, elevate their bodies into the sky and then fly away; those who don't need bodies will have their bodies go through Light-Transformation in the air." These heretical theories made up so called fantastic scenery for Falun Gong practitioners and became the inducements of continuous suicide incidents of practitioners.
In addition to the above teachings, Liu Siying was also instigated and bewitched by following "teachings" of Li Hongzhi:
During May and June of 2000, Li Hongzhi, who fled abroad, released many "teachings" so as to instigate deeply bewitched Falun Gong practitioners to "walk out in pressure" and serve as the "cannon fodder" and victims for his confrontation against the government and the law. In the teaching "Achieving Consummation" published on June 16, 2000, Li Hongzhi clamored that practitioners can "achieve consummation" only by "genuinely integrating their whole lives with Fa".
On August 12, 2000, Li Hongzhi, anxious to show his power, released the "teaching" named "Getting rid of the last punctiliousness" in which he claimed, "now is the last chance to practice and obtain the essence of Fa", and is the deadline of "achieving consummation". And he instigated obsessed followers to "achieve consummation" at the turn of the century.
On January 1, 2001, Li Hongzhi released "teaching" of "Beyond the Limits of Forbearance", in which he claimed "If the evil has already reached the point where it is unsavable and unkeepable, then various measures at different levels can be used to stop it and eradicate it.", and he instigated obsessed followers to abandon everything for "Dafa".
II. Father held his child in the arm and committed suicide
Case 3: Gao Encheng, male, 42, a cadre of Tianbai town Industry and Commerce Station in Kai county of Chongqing City, and he was the principal of the Falun Gong practicing spot there. Gao and his wife Li Shaofen (25, unemployed) began to practice Falun Gong in November 1997. They bought related books and insist on practicing every morning and night. After that Gao changed his flinty character completely and became dumb. He seldom communicated with others and always practiced Gong at home. Gao was convinced by Li Hongzhi that when the practice reached a certain level, he would become immortal and obtain consummation.
On November 2, 1998, Gao cashed his money from the bank, gave 1800 yuan to Gao Li, his daughter with ex-wife. He asked her to pay attention to her study and told her that he was already a God. Then he gave 1000 yuan to his mother and father respectively, and gave 1800 yuan to Li Shaofen's mother. In the night of November 5, Gao told Zhang Zhizhao (one of the principles of the practicing spot) and others that he dreamed the night before that his wife Li Shaofen was a big snake in her preexistence, and she was reincarnated from a viper. At that night and the next morning, Gao cried at home. At 10 o'clock, November 6, he claimed in the studying meeting of Industry and Commerce Station, "The original nature of all men was good, all of you do not understand it. But my mentality has reached its peak after practicing ‘Falun Gong' for a year." Others debated with him in the meeting, but Gao said "I do not want to talk with you common people, only my son Gao Xiong understands me." After the meeting, Gao went back home and practiced Gong upstairs. Later he held his son in arms and jumped out from the fourth floor. The staffs of Industry and Commerce Station called doctors immediately, but his wife Li Shaofen didn't allow them to save him and thought Li Hongzhi can protect him. Eventually, since the salvage failed, Gao died, but his son came through after salvage.
Case 4: Long Gang, a farmer from Yong Chuan of Chongqing City, male, 31 years old. He began to practice Falun Gong in 1997. And before long he became absentminded and always talked nonsense. He always said the earth will be destroyed soon and claimed that he will fly to the heaven and avoid the calamity. In the early morning of July 17, 1999, he held his six years old son in arms and mumbled, broke the obstruction of his family members, ran all the way to the river and jumped down. His family members and neighbors tried to save him, and his son was saved in time. However, the body of Long Gang was found three days later. The wife of Long Gang said with grief, "I was frightened at that time and was only able to yield help. Since he began to practice Falun Gong, he became abnormal. Otherwise he would not jump down to the river. He just thought of becoming Buddha all day long and said he can sit and fly on the air."
Analysis of the reason
Like many other Cult hierarchs of the world, Li Hongzhi also advocated "the theory of doomsday". In books such as "Zhuan Falun", Li Hongzhi claimed that people were born with sins; they dropped from the heaven because their hearts were ruined and they were irredeemable. He said, "Bad people in the universe dropped to the earth, the center of the universe. The earth is a garbage station of the universe". He claimed, "A lot of generations had been destroyed during the calamities in the history and then new generation came into being", "There were totally 81 times when human being were in the state of complete extermination, and only very few people survive", "The first explosion of the earth was determined by the master of my master, and the second time was determined by my master, while the third time will be determined by me."
Li Hongzhi was extremely hostile to the present society. He thought that "human beings are degenerating and there are evils everywhere". The present human beings are degenerating to the extreme extent, and they are "full of every kind of sin", "very terrible". The gods do not regard human being as human being and they will destroy human being. "Complete extermination occurs both in body and in spirit, very terrible". "Doomsday" will befall soon, the earth will be exploded and human being will be destroyed. His "passing Gong" of this time will be the last chance of "releasing the souls of people"; people will face destruction if they missed the only chance.
Threatened by the "theory of doomsday", a lot of Falun Gong practitioners chose suicide to break away from the mental pressure and panic.
III. Deaths because of denying medical treatment
Case 5: The 12 years old son of Song Jihua, 62 years old elder from Nanguan district of Changchun City, Jilin province died because of denying medical treatment after practicing Falun Gong.
Twelve years age, Song Jihua, at the age of 50, and his wife Ma Xiurong gave birth to twin sons, which was a great happiness for the family. However, the elder son Song Shuanglong received medical treatment in hospital continuously because he was born with two more gristles in his nasal cavity. In the New Year's Day of 1999, the illness of Song Shuanglong became worse. At that time, Ma Xiurong, who had practiced Falun Gong for three years and firmly believed that Falun Gong can cure all diseases, began to teach Falun Gong to her son Song Shuanglong. However, he did not get better, on the contrary, his illness was worsened. Before that he cannot see things clearly, however, he lost his eyesight completely after practicing Falun Gong. Even at that time, Ma Xiurong still stiffly directed Song Shuanglong, who can hardly stand up, to practice various acts of Falun Gong. She believed Li Hongzhi would help his son break away from devil. In May 12, Song Shuanglong, who was just 12 years old, passed away at home. Song Jihua and Ma Xiurong were awakened by the bitter strike. They said we laid our account with Falun Gong when our son was alive, but we didn't believe it anymore after he died.
Analysis of the reason
Li Hongzhi advocated in his books like "Zhuan Falun" the so-called theory of "eliminating sins". He said the source of illness is the "sins" in people's another body of another space. And "the field of sins" sent out by the "sin" made people sick, "the primary reason of his illness and misfortune are sins", "which was the primary reason and source of illness". As a practitioner, you should not go to hospital and accept medical treatment if you want to cure all your illnesses and become God. The only way is to "eliminating sins" by practicing Falun Gong and take off the source of illness by taking the advantage of Master's "power". "Life, getting old, being sick and death are all have their own reasons. All of them are caused by sins, just like one should pay his debt." He also said, "The genuine practitioners won't get illness and encounter danger…The Gong of practitioners is capable of eliminating virus and sins automatically. Taking medicine was able to keep the sins under control, but medicine cannot clean up the body and thus cannot cure illness. You cannot be a superman if you cannot pass this barrier."
Misleading by Li Hongzhi's theory that practitioners should not take medicine when they get illness, a lot of Falun Gong practitioners died because of denying medical treatment, which delayed the treatment of illness.
IV. Mother killed her own daughter herself
Case 6: Guan Shuyun, female, a citizen of Yi Chun city of Heilongjiang province. She began to practice Falun Gong since April 1997. In order to focus on practicing, she "put down" anything else. She did not go to work, did not take care of her family and always practiced in midnight. Moreover, she tried to persuade her husband to practice with her and the couple always quarreled for it. She communicated the experience of "practicing" with other practitioners form time to time and expected to "obtain consummation" as soon as possible. Form April 19 to 22 in 2002, forty Falun Gong practitioners, including 4 teenagers gathered in the house of Guan Shuyun and collectively practiced "eliminating devil". In the morning of April 22, Guan Shuyun didn't allow her daughter Dai Nan to go to school and told other practitioners that there was a devil in the body of Dai Nan, which should be eliminated in case that the devil will cause great troubles. She asked Dai Nan sharply, "who on earth are you Where did you come from and what kind of wrongdoings you have committed And how many people have you murdered" Here daughter said with panic, "I am Dai Nan and I am not a devil. I am a truly human!" However, she was convinced that there was a devil in her daughter's body and pinched in her throat. Her daughter cried "Mama, Mama" and said helplessly, "I am a human, I am not a devil. I am Dai Nan. You are committing crime by killing me." Guan Shuyun told others that these are the words of the devil and pinched her daughter's throat even harder. As to the other practitioners, some of them kneeled down, some put their palms together and preyed the devil will be eliminated soon, some were afraid the devil would run up to them and hid at the corner of the wall, while some others just watched it numbly. Although her daughter struggled, she was unable to fight against the will of Guan Shuyun and died because of suffocation.
Analysis of the reason
Li Hongzhi said in "Zhuan Falun", "There are devils everywhere in the human's society", "the devils in the human's society run out and they can take anything they want from human". "There will be the phenomenon of ‘a(chǎn)ttracting devils' during the process of practice, and ‘a(chǎn)ttracting devils' is the phenomenon or vision arisen during the process of practice, which may influence practice. The purpose of the devils is to prevent practitioners from going to higher levels, and it can be called the devils are trying to get back your debt. With the higher level you reach, the chance of encountering issue of ‘a(chǎn)ttracting devil' would be higher". "If your purpose of practicing Gong is to make you healthier, the devils will not dominate you. But once you reach higher level, it will try to control you. It may use all kinds of means to disturb you and prevent you from getting to higher levels."
In addition, according to the theory of Li Hongzhi, human is not the only race that can practice, "substance and animals can practice too, and the world of human being should not be disturbed and controlled by those animals. Regicidal devils should be eliminated, which is also the necessity in the doomsday."
However, the reason that some Falun Gong practitioners regarded those who do not practice Falun Gong or even their own family members as "devils" which should be eliminated is just the heretical ideas and fallacies of Li Hongzhi. They brought harms to other people as well as themselves and left regrets in the rest of their lives.
