Based on the author's fieldwork between 1999 and 2002, this essay examines the question of charisma among Falun Gong practitioners in the Chinese diaspora in North America. It explores two types of charisma: an embodied charisma where the individual practitioner's expectations of the extraordinary are experienced as bodily transformation; and a charisma of martyrdom based on a teleology of resistance to the People's Republic of China's campaign against Falun Gong
