A religion in the form of meditation... A Faith... Follow it,
and you will be persecuted.
and you will be persecuted.
All throughout history it can be seen that bias and prejudice towards belief systems have been the basis of mayhem and extensive deaths within many countries. Falun Gong is a perfect example of this, Falun Gong is an ancient self-improvement practice of Mind, Body and Sprit. However everyday and it could be at this very moment the followers of Falun Gong are being punished by the reigning communist party in China through being physically, mentally and emotionally tortured! All because they choose to practice in what they believe in. Whether you’re a follower or not, this questionnaire gives you the chance to be opinionated on this issue.
So don’t hold back any thoughts!!
