In this paper I want to discuss the Falun Gong, which combines slow meditative exercises with the founder Li Hongzhi’s homespun philosophy and teachings loosely drawn from Buddism and Taoism. Falun Gong popped out of China’s rapidly changing society of the past decade. Falun Gong’s founder Li Hongzhi is known as “Living Buddha” to his devotees. Falun Gong has organized as a unique political force in China and internationally. It shocked the communist leaders when it organized ten thousand demonistrators in front of the residential quarters of China’s rulers. Falun Gong formerly registered under China’s Sports Administration, was banned in 1999. It is hard to tell how many people followed Falun Gong, but it can be safely assumed that at its peak there must have been at least 200 million followers. Neverthless, the successful expansion of the sect illustrates the spiritual vacuum in modem China
