在李洪志歪理邪说的影响下，“法轮功”练习者在认知和行为上产生严重的扭曲，许多人因受毒害较深，演绎出许多人间惨剧。这其中，也有不少的青少年沦为邪教“法轮功”的牺牲品，笔者收集到其中的一部分案例进行了剖析。
一、因修炼“法轮功”导致自杀
案例1：2001年1月23日，7名“法轮功”人员按照李洪志“放下生死”、“追求圆满”的要求，在北京天安门广场集体自焚，造成2人死亡、3人重伤致残。死亡两人分别为刘春玲和其年仅12岁的女儿刘思影。
刘思影，女，1988年3月出生，小学5年级学生。1999年跟随母亲刘春玲在家中练习“法轮功”。自焚后全身烧伤面积达40%，头、面部四度烧伤，呼吸困难，经医院全力抢救无效死亡。
案例2：1999年8月16日，中学生陈英因痴迷“法轮功”导致精神失常，在乘坐由北京开往佳木斯的439次列车上跳车身亡。
陈英是黑龙江省佳木斯市树人中学高二学生，17岁。该生在校期间品学兼优，多次被评为“三好学生”。然而自从跟随母亲陈秀珍练起“法轮功”之后，度人成仙、练功成佛就占据了她整个身心。1999年7月，精神恍惚的陈英，以练功为名离家出走。其亲属、学校均花费大量人力物力四处寻找。8月，她的家人终于将她找到。然而此时的陈英已精神失常，数次打算自杀升天。在回佳木斯的途中，陈英乘家人不备，从列车厕所的窗户跳出。在血的事实面前，失去独生爱女的陈秀珍追悔莫及。
原因剖析：
李洪志把人对生命的珍惜，对正常人的需求和情感，都诬蔑为“执著”，要人们去掉“执著”，才能“白日飞升”。他在1997年3月23日的《在纽约讲法》中说：“放下生死你就是神，放不下生死你就只是个人”，1998年5月30、31日的《在欧洲法会上讲法》中提到：“我想在你们圆满的时候给人类带来一个壮举，叫所有大法弟子不管要不要身体的，都带着身体飞上天，不要身体的在空中虹化掉，然后飞走”。这些歪理邪说为“法轮功”练习者虚构了一个所谓的美妙景象，成为练习者不断自杀的诱因。
除受上述经文影响外，刘思影还受到了李洪志以下“经文”的煽动和蛊惑：
2000年5、6月间，逃亡到国外的李洪志抛出多篇“经文”，煽动中毒较深的“法轮功”练习者“顶着压力走出来”，充当其与政府与法律对抗的“炮灰”和牺牲品。在2000年6月16日发表的《走向圆满》的“经文”中，李洪志叫嚣，只有“真正地将整个生命溶于法中”，才能“走向圆满”。
2000年8月12日，急于显示能量的李洪志又抛出《去掉最后的执著》的“经文”，宣称“现在是最后修炼、得法的机会”，是“真正圆满”的最后期限，煽动痴迷者在世纪之交“修成正果”。
2001年1月1日，李洪志又抛出《忍无可忍》的“经文”，声称“如果邪恶已经到了无可救无可要的地步，那就可以采用不同层次的各种方式制止、铲除”，煽动痴迷者为“大法”而舍弃一切。
二、父亲抱着孩子一起自杀
案例3：高恩诚，男，42岁，重庆市开县天白乡工商所干部，“法轮功”练功点负责人。 1997年11月，高与其妻李小芬（25岁，无业）开始修炼“法轮功”，并购买了有关书籍，每天早晚坚持练功。之后高一改过去强硬的个性，变得少言寡语，很少与人交往，常在家练功。 高坚信李洪志讲的修炼“法轮功”到达一定程度，会“三花聚顶”、“生原婴”、“返本归真”、“死后升天”、“灵魂不丢”等。
1998年11月2日，高将在银行的存款取出，给前妻所生女儿高丽1800元，叫她好好念书，说自己已成仙。后又给自己的父母各1000元，给李小芬的母亲1800元。11月5日晚，高对张之昭（练功点负责人之一）等人说，他前天晚上梦见妻子李小芬前世是一条大蛇，今世是毒蛇变的。当晚及次日晨，高在家中痛哭。11月6日上午10时，在工商所的学习会上高称：“人之初，性本善，你们都没有学懂，我才学了一年‘法轮功’，思想就达到了顶点。”会上，大家与其辩论，高说：“我不与你们凡人说，只有我的儿子高雄理解我。”之后，高回到自家楼上，先练功，后抱着儿子高雄从四楼跳下摔在坝子上。工商所干部立即叫医生抢救，其妻李小芬却不让抢救，认为李洪志能保护他。高因抢救无效死亡，小孩经抢救脱险。
案例4：重庆市永川市农民龙刚，男，31岁，1997年开始练习练习“法轮功”。不久就出现了神情恍惚，经常胡言乱语。他经常说地球就要毁灭，他非常害怕，声称自己要飞到天上去躲过灾难。1999年7月17日凌晨，他怀抱着不满6岁的儿子，口中念念有词，挣脱家人的阻挡，一路飞奔，纵身跳进河中。家人和邻居赶紧下水救人，他的儿子被及时救出，脱离了危险。龙刚的尸体三天后才被发现。龙刚的妻子满怀悲愤地说：“我心里很害怕，最后只得喊救命。自从他练法轮功后，精神就不正常了。要不然怎么会跳河。他整天就想着成仙成佛，还说自己能在空中坐，在空中飞。”
原因剖析：
同世界上许多邪教主一样，李洪志也大肆鼓吹“世界末日论”。在《转法轮》等书中，李洪志宣扬人类生来是有罪的，是因为心坏了才从天上掉下来的，是不可救药的。他说：“宇宙中不好的人往下掉，掉到宇宙的中心地球。地球是宇宙的一个垃圾站”。他宣称，“许许多多人类在不同历史中的劫难被销毁掉了，然后又产生了新的人类”，“人类有81次完全处于毁灭状态，只有极少数人活下来”，“地球第一次爆炸是我的祖师爷定的，第二次爆炸是我师父定的，第三次爆炸是我定的。”
李洪志极端仇视现在的社会，认为“人类在败坏，到处都是魔”，现在人类已堕落到极点，“真是十恶俱全”，“很可怕”，神已经不拿人当人待了，要毁灭人类，“彻底的毁灭，叫形神全灭，很可怕”。“末劫”马上就要到了，地球要爆炸了，人类要毁灭了。他这次“传功”是最后一次“度人”，错过这个机会，人们就只有死路一条。
在李洪志“末日论”的恐吓下，许多“法轮功”练习者选择了自杀来摆脱心理上的压力和恐慌。
三、拒医拒药造成死亡
案例5：吉林省长春市南关区62岁老人宋继华的12岁儿子因修炼“法轮功”拒医拒药死亡。
12年前，年届50岁的宋继华与老伴马秀荣喜得双胞胎。大儿子宋双龙因鼻腔后先天多出两块软骨，一直断断续续地在医院治病。1999年元旦，宋双龙的症状突然加重。此时，修炼“法轮功”已有3年之久、坚信“法轮功”能包治百病的马秀荣，开始向在家里养病的儿子宋双龙教授“法轮功”。然而，宋双龙的病情非但没有好转，反倒日益加重，双眼也由先是看东西模糊，很快发展为完全失明。直到此时，马秀荣仍在顽固地指导连站立都十分困难的宋双龙去做“法轮功”的各种动作，她迷信李洪志会帮助儿子摆脱魔鬼的纠缠。5月12日，年仅12岁的宋双龙在家中离开了人世。沉重的打击，使宋继华和马秀荣终于醒悟。他们说，孩子在世时，我们对“法轮功”抱有希望，孩子一死，我们再也不信了。
原因剖析：
李洪志在《转法轮》等书中大肆鼓吹所谓的“消业”说。说什么人们得病的根源是人在其他空间的那些身体上有“业”，这个“业”发出的“业力场”使人生病：“造成他有病和所有不幸的根本原因是业力”，“它是导致人有病的根本原因，这是最主要的一种病的来源”。作为修炼者要想把病全治好，想成仙成佛，就不能去医院看病治疗，而只能练“法轮功”“消业”，借“师父”的“法力”把致病的东西拿掉：“生老病死都是因缘关系的，都是业力回报，你欠了债就得还。”他还说：“真正修炼的人是不会得病的，也不会遇到危险……。练功的人的功自动就在消灭病毒和业力。吃药是把业力压了回去，就不能够清理身体，因此也就不能治病。只有过了这一关，你就是一个超常人了。”
在李洪志修炼人有病不能吃药的误导下，许多“法轮功”练习者因拒医拒药耽误病情而死亡。
四、母亲亲自杀死自己的女儿
案例6：关淑云，女，黑龙江伊春市人。1997年4月开始练习“法轮功”。为了练功，她把其它一切都“放下”了，不干活，不管家，常常半夜起来练功，还劝丈夫一起练，夫妻经常为此吵架。她不断与其它练功者交流“修心”的体会，期待早日“圆满”。2002年4月22日，关淑云家里聚集了40个法轮功练习者，包括4名十几岁的孩子，一起练功“除魔”。4月22日早晨，关淑云不让女儿戴楠去上学，并对周围人说戴楠身上附上了“魔”，不除掉就会贻害无穷。她对戴楠严厉地问道：“你到底是谁？从哪里来？干了多少坏事？害了多少人？”女儿害怕地说：“我是戴楠啊，我不是魔，我是真正的人！”但她认定了女儿身上附有魔，就掐女儿的咽喉，女儿不断地喊“妈妈，妈妈”，并无助地说：“我是人呀，我不是什么魔，我真的是戴楠，你杀我是犯罪的。”关淑云告诉大家这又是魔在说话，于是又用力掐。在场的其它人，有的下跪，有的双手合十祈求尽快地把魔除掉，有的因为害怕魔会跑到自己身上，远远地躲到墙角，还有的木然地看着。女儿几番挣扎，终于抵御不住关淑云的执意除魔，终至窒息身亡。
原因剖析：
李洪志的《转法轮》中讲，“人类社会到处都是魔”，“人类社会这些妖魔鬼怪都跑出来了，谁想拿人身上的东西就拿，想要管人就管”。“人在练功过程中会出现‘招魔’现象。‘招魔’是指炼功人在炼功过程中出现的影响炼功的现象或景象，目的是阻止炼功人往高层次上修炼，也可以说是魔来讨债。功法修炼到高层次，必然会遇到‘招魔’问题”。“如果你只为祛病健身，就没有魔去管你，一旦你往高层次上修炼，它就要管你了。它可以用各种方法来打扰你，目的是不让你往高层次上修炼，让你修炼不成。”
另外，根据李洪志的理论，不止人类能修炼，“物质和动物也知道修炼，人类的事情是绝对不能让这些动物干扰、主宰的。大逆之魔就是该杀的了，这也是末法末劫时期的必然。”
正是由于李洪志的这些歪理邪说，才使得许多“法轮功”练习者把不练“法轮功”的人，甚至自己的亲人都当成了需要铲除的“魔”，害人害己，后悔终生。
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 ‘attracting devils' during the process of practice, and ‘attracting 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 ‘attracting 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.
