Giving up Pursuit and Strengthening One's Faith in Dafa

A New Practitioner Gives up Wanting to Get Things

Before I started cultivation practice, I often saw that some older Dafa disciples' hands were smooth and rosy in colour, so I was curious and envious. Last year, after I began practising, I intentionally or unintentionally looked at my hands almost every day.

Teacher said in Zhuan Falun,

"...young women like to do facials to get fairer and better skin. I'd say that if you truly do a dual practice of nature and longevity you'll naturally get that..."

When I washed my face, I often looked at whether my complexion had become rosy.

After I submitted an article to the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, I was very anxious and looked to see whether my article was published on the second day. One time, I thought an article I wrote was very good, but it was not published, so I felt very depressed. Once I gave up this attachment, I happened to find that my article was published.

Once while practising the second exercise, holding the wheel, I felt Falun rotating at my ears. Later, when I pursued this feeling, I no longer felt it.

Now, I understand that this is an attachment of wanting to get things. Teacher told us that cultivation practice should be in a state of non-action and to let things take their natural course because cultivation is up to you, and gong is up to the master. In my cultivation practice from now on, I must make efforts to give up wanting to get things.

The Miracle Appears Once the Righteous Thoughts Come out

By a Dafa disciple from Chengdu

There is a fellow practitioner who is eighty-five years old in our area, and she has practiced cultivation for around ten years. In the process of cultivating, she strictly follows Teacher's requirements. She is always careful to do the three things well. Especially in clarifying the truth, because her thoughts are righteous, miracles often take place in her body. For example, recently, she planned to distribute "truth clarification" materials. After she had left her home and had not gone very far, she suddenly fell down and her left knee was dislocated completely. It was very painful and she couldn't walk. At this time, she thought, "It is the old forces trying to persecute me and they do not want me to save people. I can't sit here. I must deny the arrangement of the old forces and not allow the old forces to persecute me. I must save people." She began sending forth righteous thoughts. After sending forth righteous thoughts, she did not give a thought to the ache or care whether she could stand up or not. She just firmly said "go." At the beginning, she walked just a few steps. After that, it was completely normal. This was her righteous thoughts bringing about the miracle.

Use Righteous Thoughts for Everything in Our Cultivation Practice

By a disciple in China

I am a female Dafa disciple from the countryside. In my cultivation practice, there have been so many miracles, but I will only give one example. One time during my period, I had pain in my stomach, so I used an everyday people's remedy, drinking some water with brown sugar, and gradually the pain left. This puzzled me for a long time. I did not think that I behaved as a cultivator who looks inward and uses righteous thoughts when encountering a problem.

This also happened on another occasion, and I suddenly remembered that I was a cultivator. I feared the pain and even death. Is not the fear an attachment? Doesn't a cultivator give this up? I found the attachment and decided to give it up. As a result, the pain disappeared in several seconds and my entire body felt light.

A couple of days ago, it was the time for my period. I practiced the sitting meditation. Upon sitting on the bed, I immediately felt pain and simply couldn't practice. At the time, I immediately thought: "I am a Dafa practitioner in the Fa-rectification period. I have Teacher to protect me and no one can persecute me. The pain is not me, it is the evil dark minions, rotten demons and the Communist evil specter." When my righteous thoughts came out, the pain disappeared instantaneously! As Teacher said in "Stop the Evil Acts with Righteous Thoughts," "...it works as soon as your righteous thoughts emerge."
