Declínio moral da humanidade
O movimento interpreta crises humanas também como crise moral e espiritual ampla.
O que é: O Falun Gong ensina que a sociedade contemporânea sofre forte decadência moral.
Como a tradição entende: Materialismo, mentira, violência e corrupção espiritual são vistos como sinais de afastamento dos princípios corretos do universo.
Base textual e contexto: O tema aparece em leituras críticas da modernidade, ciência, política e vida cotidiana.
Debates e variações: A linguagem pode soar fortemente contrastiva e é parte importante da autoconsciência do movimento como caminho de restauração.
