The China Anti-Xie Jiao Association, controlled by the CCP through the United Front, has initiated a campaign to categorize Bodhi Gong as a “cross-border criminal gang,” applying Chinese organized crime laws to it. Bodhi Gong, also known as Bodhi Meditation, was founded by Grandmaster JinBodhi, born Di Yuming in 1965 in Hebei province, China. Established in 1991, this Qigong organization has faced significant persecution following the prohibition of Falun Gong in 1999. Di Yuming professes to have acquired insights from Buddhist teachings in Tibetan monasteries and asserts that he overcame various childhood illnesses through self-cultivation practices. Initially based in Beijing, Bodhi Gong rapidly gained traction and expanded its reach to Dalian and Guangzhou, ultimately establishing a presence across 26 provinces. In 1999, in pursuit of international expansion, Di relocated to Canada, and the movement initiated the opening of centers in multiple countries, including the United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea.
