| Falun Gong founder - Li Hongzhi 法轮功创始人 - 李洪志 |
据法轮功介绍，李洪志先生1951年5月13号出生于吉林一个普通知识份子家庭，从童年开始修炼佛家独传法门，修炼「真、善、忍」最高特性；92年5月13号开始公开传功讲法。
中央电视台指责李洪志先生更改生日，目的是称自己是「释迦牟尼转世」。李先生在接受外国媒体采访时说：「政府在文革时把我的生日搞错了，我只是把错了的生日改回来而已。」
香港《世界日报》的记者曾专程到长春市公安部门做了调查，证实李洪志先生改回的真实生日完全是真实的。而且，李洪志先生表示，他从来没说过他是释迦牟尼。
中共一向对任何有组织的群体十分恐惧，指责法轮功有「严密的组织」，并将「法轮大法研究会」定为非法组织。而法轮功则强调只重实修，不重形式，实行松散管理。
原法轮功研究会负责人之一叶浩表示，李洪志先生在北京开办的几期学习班，都是由中国气功科研会主办，93年正式批准法轮功为其直属功派，并成立了法轮功研究分会。
叶浩说：「他们觉得法轮功好么，就把法轮功纳入直属功派。95年7月在全世界的传法也就结束了。李洪志老师的中国法轮功要退出中国气功协会，我们自己是96年4月份主动提出申请我们退出去了。」
对于中共指责李洪志先生「敛财」，叶浩表示，法轮功在全国各地办班，都是由各省、市的气功科研会主办，主办方占收入40%。为期十天的学习班，新学员收费40元、老学员20元人民币。这是全国气功办班中收费最低的。
全球各地的法轮功炼功点都是免费义务教功。法轮功发言人张而平说：【视频】「不光是书、录像，包括炼功音乐和炼功的方法在网上都有，而且都是免费的。只要去这个网站www.falundafa.org，你到这个网站上你就可以把所有这些信息都免费下载下来。」
中央电视台指责李洪志先生在长春拥有豪宅，当地民众调查发现，那实为公安炮制的一幕假象，李老师在长春市解放大路103号西门四楼一号的家，简直可以用简陋来形容。
央视还把李洪志先生98年在美国公开讲法表示「所谓地球爆炸的事情是不存在的」，将录音中的「不」字剪掉，诬陷李先生宣传「世界末日」。并以同样断章取义的手法，把李先生要求法轮功学员不要用功能给别人看病，剪接歪曲为「有病不能去看病」。
维权律师郭国汀说：「中共当局强加在法轮功身上的所谓的杀人、精神病、自杀、所谓的敛财，都是中共当局编造的谎言。因为中共历史上，它为了抹黑，它往往都是采取这种手段。中共才是一个货真价实的邪教。」
98年，北京和广东分别对1万多名法轮功学员進行的专家调查显示，祛病总有效率高达99.1%和97.9%。同年，人大委员长乔石所主持的调查结论是：法轮功「于国于民有百利而无一害」。
在12年的反迫害历程中，全世界都见证了法轮功的「真、善、忍」精神。
2009年，亚太人权基金会向李洪志先生颁发「杰出精神领袖奖」，代为领奖的法轮功学员李有甫表示，法轮功修炼团体对人类社会的任何政权都没有兴趣。
李有甫说：「李洪志师父他在这场迫害当中，他的承受、他的超人的大善大忍之心，教导我们全体学员的和平理智的反迫害方式，他的付出是我们难以想像的。在这十年当中，中共邪党不但没有把法轮功迫害倒，它自己却走進了灭亡。」
到目前为止，全世界有114个国家和地区、不同族裔的人们在学炼法轮功，国际社会向李洪志先生和法轮大法颁布了数千份褒奖和支持信。

Falun Gong Founder - Li Hongzhi, Suffers 12-Year Injustice
May 13 is the 60 anniversary of Falun Gong founder Mr. Li Hongzhi and the 12th World Falun Dafa Day, celebrated by Falun Gong practitioners worldwide. Twelve years ago, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution of Falun Gong, spreading series of fabrications overwhelmingly. Mr. Li Hongzhi has suffered strong injustice. Truth again renews outside attention.
Mr. Li Hongzhi was born in Jilin on May 13, 1951 in an ordinary intellectual family. He began practicing the Way in the Buddha School as a child cultivating "truth, compassion, forbearance" (真善忍).
Master Li, as he is usually referred to, began to teach Falun Gong on May 13, 1992.
China Central Television (CCTV) accused Mr. Li Hongzhi of intentionally changing his birthday in the hopes of claiming himself to be a "reincarnation of Shakyamuni". Mr. Li said in an interview: "During the Cultural Revolution, my birthday was mistaken, so I changed the wrong birthday back to the right one."
A Hong Kong World News reporter paid a visit to the Changchun Public Security Bureau to investigate. It was confirmed that what Mr. Li Hongzhi had said was completely true. Mr. Li Hongzhi said he never claimed he was Shakyamuni.
CCP has always been afraid of organized groups. The regime accused Falun Gong of being a "close-knit organization", claiming the "Falun Dafa Research Society" to be illegal. Falun Gong emphasizes on actual practices, not form, implementing loose management.
Former coordinator in Falun Gong Research Society, Ye Hao, said Mr. Li Hongzhi offered several classes in Beijing, organized by the China Qigong Scientific Research Council, which officially accepted Falun Gong in 1993, and set up a Falun Gong Research Branch.
Ye Hao said: "They (council) believed Falun Gong is good, so they accepted Falun Gong. In July 1995, Master Li discontinued his classes around the world. In China, Falun Gong wanted to withdraw from the Qigong Association. We handed in an application, and exited the council in April 1996. "
As for the accusation against Mr. Li Hongzhi of “collecting money” Ye Hao said that Falun Gong classes in China were all organized by provincial and municipal Qigong Scientific Research Associations. Organizers shared 40% of the revenue. In ten-day classes, new students paid RMB40, and old students RMB20, the lowest charged among all Qigong classes in China.
Falun Gong practice sites all over the world have no charge in teaching Falun Gong. Spokesman Zhang Erping said: "Not only books, videos, but also music and exercise instructions can all be downloaded online for free. Just go to www.falundafa.org, you could download them all for free."
CCTV claimed that Mr. Li Hongzhi has a mansion in Changchun. However, Changchun people knew that this is false, as it was known where he lives, which is a very simple and crude apartment at the 4th floor of a building in West Gate.
CCTV even modified lectures of Mr. Li Hongzhi in 1998, cutting the word “not” from the sentence: "The so-called explosion of the earth does not exist,"and spread this "end of the world" propaganda. In the same way, CCTV edited Mr. Li's requirements of Falun Gong practitioners not to treat illnesses of others, misrepresenting Mr. Li's words as "Practitioners can not go see a doctor."
Lawyer Guo said: "Chinese authorities accused Falun Gong of “murder”,“mental illness”,“suicide”, and “money-making.” In history, CCP has always openly fabricated lies in an attempt to discredit.
The CCP is a genuine cult. "
In 1998, specialists investigated 10,000+ Falun Gong practitioners in Beijing and Guangdong, finding that Falun Gong cured illnesses effectively at a rate of 97.9% to 99.1%. In 1998, Chairman of National Peoples Congress, Qiao Shi, also found that Falun Gong "has no harm, but benefits" to country and people.
In its 12 years of persecution, “Truth, Compassion, Forbearance” (真善忍) of Falun Gong was witnessed around the world.
In 2009 Asia-Pacific Human Rights Foundation issued Mr. Li Hongzhi the "Excellent Spiritual Leader Award." A Falun Gong practitioner, Li Youfu, accepted the award on behalf of Mr. Li, and explained that Falun Gong has no interests in political power.
Li Youfu said: "Master Li Hongzhi demonstrated great sufferings, compassion and forbearance, which taught all practitioners to oppose persecution in a peaceful and sensible way. Master's pain is hard to imagine. In the decade-long persecution, the CCP did not “eliminate” Falun Gong, but instead propelled its own demise."
Falun Gong is now practiced in 114 countries and regions. Different ethnic groups are learning it. The international community has issued Mr. Li Hongzhi and Falun Dafa thousands of Proclamations and supports.
