At 14:41 on 23 January 2001 (Chinese New Year's Eve, seven "Fa X Gong" cult addicts collectively set themselves on fire in Tiananmen Square, killing two and seriously injuring three others, causing a tragedy that shocked China and the rest of the world.
However, that "self-immolation" was not an isolated case. In fact, before and after the Tiananmen Square self-immolation tragedy, there were still countless cases of self-immolation by obsessives. In the face of so many self-immolation cases, no matter how "Master" Ren Li quibbles, it is difficult to escape the involvement.
"Fa X Gong" demagogies believers by saying that practicing the exercises can lead to "ascending to heaven and becoming a god and consummation," saying that when "consummating," one can do without a body, and that only by letting go of life and death can one be "consummated," then it is inevitable that the "disciples" will "ascend to heaven and become gods" by self-immolation in accordance with the hints and inducements of "Dafa."
The root cause of the continuous self-immolation of obsessed people is that they have been bewitched by the fallacies and heresies of "Master Li" who "ascended to heaven and attained perfection."
Today
More than 20 years have passed since this tragedy.
But it brings people pain and lessons,
We still remember it.
therefore
Be vigilant at all times,
Strengthen understanding of the evil nature of cults,
Strengthen the consciousness of consciously resisting the corrosive influence of cults,
Guard against cult co-optation and infiltration!
