【新唐人2011年5月13日訊】今年5月13號是法輪功創始人李洪志先生60歲華誕，也是第12屆「世界法輪大法日」，全球各地的法輪功學員舉辦各種活動慶賀。與此同時，12年前中共發動鎮壓法輪功，舖天蓋地的散佈了一系列謊言，李洪志先生至今蒙受不白之冤，真相究竟如何再度引起外界關注。
據法輪功介紹，李洪志先生1951年5月13號出生於吉林一個普通知識份子家庭，從童年開始修煉佛家獨傳法門，修煉「真、善、忍」最高特性；92年5月13號開始公開傳功講法。
中央電視臺指責李洪志先生更改生日，目的是稱自己是「釋迦牟尼轉世」。李先生在接受外國媒體採訪時說：「政府在文革時把我的生日搞錯了，我只是把錯了的生日改回來而已。」
香港《世界日報》的記者曾專程到長春市公安部門做了調查，證實李洪志先生改回的真實生日完全是真實的。而且，李洪志先生表示，他從來沒說過他是釋迦牟尼。
中共一向對任何有組織的群體十分恐懼，指責法輪功有「嚴密的組織」，並將「法輪大法研究會」定為非法組織。而法輪功則強調只重實修，不重形式，實行鬆散管理。
原法輪功研究會負責人之一葉浩表示，李洪志先生在北京開辦的幾期學習班，都是由中國氣功科研會主辦，93年正式批准法輪功為其直屬功派，並成立了法輪功研究分會。
葉浩說：「他們覺得法輪功好麼，就把法輪功納入直屬功派。95年7月在全世界的傳法也就結束了。李洪志老師的中國法輪功要退出中國氣功協會，我們自己是96年4月份主動提出申請我們退出去了。」
對於中共指責李洪志先生「斂財」，葉浩表示，法輪功在全國各地辦班，都是由各省、市的氣功科研會主辦，主辦方佔收入40%。為期十天的學習班，新學員收費40元、老學員20元人民幣。這是全國氣功辦班中收費最低的。
全球各地的法輪功煉功點都是免費義務教功。法輪功發言人張而平說：【視頻】「不光是書、錄像，包括煉功音樂和煉功的方法在網上都有，而且都是免費的。只要去這個網站www.falundafa.org，你到這個網站上你就可以把所有這些信息都免費下載下來。」
中央電視臺指責李洪志先生在長春擁有豪宅，當地民眾調查發現，那實為公安炮製的一幕假象，李老師在長春市解放大路103號西門四樓一號的家，簡直可以用簡陋來形容。
央視還把李洪志先生98年在美國公開講法表示「所謂地球爆炸的事情是不存在的」，將錄音中的「不」字剪掉，誣陷李先生宣傳「世界末日」。並以同樣斷章取義的手法，把李先生要求法輪功學員不要用功能給別人看病，剪接歪曲為「有病不能去看病」。
維權律師郭國汀說：「中共當局強加在法輪功身上的所謂的殺人、精神病、自殺、所謂的斂財，都是中共當局編造的謊言。因為中共歷史上，它為了抹黑，它往往都是採取這種手段。中共才是一個貨真價實的邪教。」
98年，北京和廣東分別對1萬多名法輪功學員進行的專家調查顯示，祛病總有效率高達99.1%和97.9%。同年，人大委員長喬石所主持的調查結論是：法輪功「於國於民有百利而無一害」。
在12年的反迫害歷程中，全世界都見證了法輪功的「真、善、忍」精神。
2009年，亞太人權基金會向李洪志先生頒發「傑出精神領袖獎」，代為領獎的法輪功學員李有甫表示，法輪功修煉團體對人類社會的任何政權都沒有興趣。
李有甫說：「李洪志師父他在這場迫害當中，他的承受、他的超人的大善大忍之心，教導我們全體學員的和平理智的反迫害方式，他的付出是我們難以想像的。在這十年當中，中共邪黨不但沒有把法輪功迫害倒，它自己卻走進了滅亡。」
到目前為止，全世界有114個國家和地區、不同族裔的人們在學煉法輪功，國際社會向李洪志先生和法輪大法頒布了數千份褒獎和支持信。

Falun Gong Founder 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.
