"It’s a con. You don’t get the promised goodies": https://web.archive.org/web/20160114213408/http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-cult_q7.html#cq_con
Many/most Falun Gong believers believe that:
-
-
you will be saved in a soon-to-come-but-that-actually-never-really-comes Judgement Day like event
-
some believers who practice really well can also get some "supernatural powers" (功能), but not everyone develops them. Luckily only so many people are that manipulable to believe they have obtained superpowers!
But of course, you are not allowed to just show your powers to other people, and most of all not to "ordinary people" of course, because "reasons"
What will one develop in the course of his cultivation? He will develop supernatural powers which are called supernormal capabilities for short.
Do you want to use them among ordinary people? You are absolutely not allowed to use them among ordinary people at will.
But in the end, since everything is fake, there is only one reward that you can possibly get if you are both lucky and crazy hard working: some attention from the master.
