  • Many performers said they pushed themselves to their limits out of reverence for Falun Gong’s founder and spiritual leader, Li Hongzhi — seeing him as a living god and the creator of the universe. Mr. Li, who is in his early 70s, helped create Shen Yun in 2006. He and other lieutenants oversee the group’s training inside a secluded 400-acre compound known as Dragon Springs in Cuddebackville, N.Y. Performers are taught to greet Mr. Li as “shi fu,” the Chinese word for “master.”

    No, you see, having a compound and a charismatic, abusive leader is proof that Falun Gong is actually NOT a cult.

    Many practitioners see performing in Shen Yun as a sacred honor because Mr. Li has said that its shows, which present his teachings as virtuous and the Chinese Communist Party as evil, are part of his quest to save humanity from a coming apocalypse.

    See! WE ARE JUST TRYING TO STOP THE APOCALYPSE! NOT A CULT WE ARE A SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT!!!

    Just, wow. Is Mr. Li super litigious or is the editor a member of the cult?
