中新网曼谷2000年5月19日消息：联合国际世界佛教总部近日在台湾举办了为期一周的“世界佛教、佛学、佛法正邪研讨会”。美、加、法、日、泰、尼泊尔等28个国家的活佛、高僧、大德居士2000多人与会。会上对李洪志等人进行了审评，并经各国代表投票表决，确定李洪志为邪教人士，并认为李洪志等人对佛法断章取义，他们的所谓佛法之道完全是自编自导的邪教。
据泰国报纸报道，联合国际世界佛教总部有鉴于目前佛教界真假佛法混乱、出现了许多妖人邪说，在许多高僧大德的强烈要求下，召开了此次世纪性世界佛教会议。
会议审评了目前世界上有名的活佛、法师及大人物，而后列出了六位较有争议的人士，对其进行了公开的探讨和论断，最终由各国代表决议，结果李洪志等四人被审定为邪教人士。
大会认为，李洪志等所论佛法之道，完全违背佛陀的三藏经教，不但断章取义、正邪混乱、理谛全无，而且基本经教都未曾深入，完全是自编自导、蛊惑民众，谈不上有一点实证功夫。
联全国际佛教会、国际佛教僧足会，国际金刚菩提总会、世界佛教佛伽会、美国密宗总会等也派代表出席。
United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters: Li Hongzhi labeled as a preacher of cult
United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters held a one-week World Forum on Buddhist, Buddhism and Buddha Dharma Uprightness in Taiwan. More than 2,000 Buddhists ranked living Buddha, dignitary and lay Buddhist from 28 countries including USA, Canada, France, Japan, Thailand and Nepal took part in the forum. The participants had made a review and appraisal of Li Hongzhi and other disputed individuals. The Forum determined through voting that Li Hongzhi was a preacher of cult, indicating that Li Hongzhi and other Falun Gong members had garbled Buddha Dharma, and that their so-called universal Buddha Dharma was utterly self-fabricated heresy.
It is reported in Thailand media that this global Buddhist conference was called on by United International World Buddhism Association Headquarters under the strong appealing of many dignitaries and lay Buddhists, in consideration that the fake Buddha Dharma and fallacies was mixed in the Buddhist circle at present time.
The meetings made an appraisal of the well-known modern living Buddha, rabbis and dignitaries and then listed six disputed individuals. After rounds of open discussions, it was decided through voting that Li Hongzhi and other four people were preachers of cult.
The meetings noted that the so-called universal Buddha Dharma advocated by Li Hongzhi was utterly against the tripitaka doctrine of Buddha since it was nothing but fabricated heresies used to bewitch the ordinary people.
United International World Buddhism Association, International Bodhi Vajra Association, World Buddhist Sangha Assembly and Tibetan Buddhism Association of America sent representatives to the meeting as well.
