泰國崇德善堂、大光佛教社、同德佛教社等佛教組織發(fā)表聯(lián)合聲明，揭露法輪功邪教面目，嚴(yán)正聲討李洪志玷污佛祖尊嚴(yán)。
聲明說，經(jīng)過海內(nèi)外各地廣泛揭批，法輪功和李洪志終于露出了邪教狂徒的本來面目。我們身為佛教徒，本來與世無爭，但李洪志大膽妄為，竄改自己的出生日期，妄稱自己與佛祖釋加牟尼同日出生，是佛祖轉(zhuǎn)世；盜用佛家、道家詞匯用語，蠱惑世人，實(shí)大逆不道。對(duì)狂徒李洪志觸犯佛祖神圣尊嚴(yán)、害人欺世的罪行，我們不能容忍，決予嚴(yán)正聲討。聲明呼吁各界認(rèn)清真相，不再為李洪志所欺。

In Bankok, 18 Buddhist organizaitons including Thailand Da Guang Buddhist Community, Tong De Buddhist Community and so on collectively held a meeting of condemning the evil religion Falun Gong on Feb. 17, in which they criticized the hypocritical and cheating characteristic of Falun Gong and called on people not to believe the false theory of Falun Gong, at the same time, they annonced that Thailand Buddhist circle is against and will reject any propagandizing activities of Falun Gong in Thailand.
More than 100 representatives from the eighteen Buddhist organizaitons of Thailand and Chinese Chmber of Commerce, Chao Zhou Assembly Hall and other organizations speak in the meeting. They point out that Li Hongzhi propagandizes the so-called "Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance", while he himeself juggles his birthday and says that he was born on the same day with Sakyamuni Buddha and bewithched people with "the rebirth of Budda", which is not only a big lie, but also seriously desecrated the sanctity of Buddhism. We Buddhists will not allow Li Hongzhi to cheat and bring harm to people by taking advantage of the religion.
The representatives also point out that the activities of Falun Gong are very harmful, which not only bring harm to people's life, but also disturb and destroy public orders of the society. And China has banned it. If Falun Gong practitoners in other countries gather in Thailand, it will be harmful to the social stability of Thailand and to the traditional friendship between Thailand and China. We are against and reject any propagandizing activities of Falun Gong in Thailand in any name.
In conclusion, all the representatives agree to accept the suggestion of Mr. Chen Shixian, the famous overseas Chinese leader and put forward three resolutions: Firstly, Buddhist orgnizations will collectively sign a proposing letter and send it to the Thai Sangharaja, call on all the Buddhist followers to oppose and reject Falun Gong; secondly, Buddhist organizations, in association with other social organizations, will deliver a letter to the Thailand governemnt opposing gathering of the evil religion Falun Gong in Thailand; thirdly, Buddhist organizations will issused a proposal letter to all the organizaitons and communities, calling on people all round Thailand to reject the propagandas and activities of Falun Gong in Thailand.
