About 7 years ago I started ´dabbling´ in Falun Dafa, or Falun Gong as the media called it. I liked the exercises as they seemed to have a calming effect on me.
Later I bought the books by Master Li and started reading them, mainly Zhuan Falun. Every FD practitioner is encouraged to read this book over and over, until he or she becomes basically brainwashed with it. I practiced in a weekly practice group in the local park, went to sit in protest meditation before the Chinese Embassy, sent forth righteous thoughts, stopped drinking beer - hard! - and tried to read no other books than Zhuan Falun.
It was interesting, but after about three years I stopped, mainly because I got other friends and also because I did not see many results.
I also felt the Master had a careless attitude about the ongoing torture in China and was making more and more ridiculous claims about Falun Dafa and himself.
Anyone else been through this?
