Fellow Practitioners, Do Not Get Lost in This Human World
2008-10-04I would like to use this article to tell all young practitioners, "Catch up, have righteous thoughts like a god and walk upright during the last part of the way home. We have grown up already. We should be able to cultivate independently and should not depend on the outside environment." -
Young Practitioners Should Avoid Video Games
2008-10-03Furthermore, these evil, ugly images, full of lust, seduction, and demonic themes in video games and cartoons, are even more polluting than what occurs in ordinary society. Don't underestimate them just because they are seen in video games and cartoons. You can find everything in them, including competitiveness, jealousy, elation, lust, and many other attachments. -
Improving My Heart and Mind While Saving Sentient Beings
2008-10-03Over the years, I've followed Master's teachings in my life. I've treated all events, good or bad, as opportunities to validate the Fa. Whomever I meet, I know that he was someone that Master wanted me to save. Many people have learned the truth and withdrawn from the CCP. -
Saving Sentient Beings in Remote Areas
2008-10-02We are saving sentient beings, but we should attach more importance to the process instead of solely the result. It is most important to cultivate ourselves well. From Teacher's Fa, we know that saving sentient beings is our mission and our grand prehistoric vow. -
Abandoning Attachments and Using Our Divine Power to Rescue Follow Practitioners
2008-10-02We should never acknowledge the old forces' persecution. We should send our mighty righteous thoughts to disintegrate the evil that persecutes practitioners and help them. We should only acknowledge Master's choice of having practitioners shine like gold. Why shouldn't we practitioners send positive messages for our fellow practitioners? -
"Youthfulness" Is for Validating the Fa
2008-10-01Having a youthful look provides a good way to validate the Fa while clarifying the facts to people. People can see it with their own eyes, so they have to believe it. How we can better utilize this example depends on the practitioner's righteous thoughts and whether we remember, at every minute, that we are cultivators. -
Abandoning the Attachment of Self-Interest
2008-10-01Under difficult living conditions, many of my attachments will appear, such as the attachments to fame, interest, lust, and sentimentality. They repeatedly occur like an illness and must be removed fundamentally, so I can be thoroughly purified. -
How Many Good People Have Not Learned the Truth about Falun Gong?
2008-09-29I would like to remind fellow practitioners and myself not to be attached to time or any external changes. Everything has been arranged in order. Every step we make is because of Teacher's infinite compassion. How many predestined people on earth have not obtained the Fa? How many people with great virtue have not learned the truth about Falun Gong or have not been saved? Teacher thinks of every sentient being! -
Once the Basis of Our Efforts Becomes Saving Sentient Beings, the Persecution Will End
2008-09-29In many cases, while we are resisting the persecution, rescuing fellow practitioners, and doing things to validate the Fa, the reason that we are still persecuted or the effect was not good is due to our attachments of fear, pursuit, and so on. We are concerned for ourselves more than saving the sentient beings and being selfless and altruistic. The persecution means nothing but letting go of attachments and saving the sentient beings. -
We Cannot Be Passive in Cultivation
2008-09-28Why do we only look inward when we feel uncomfortable? Some fellow practitioners don't look inward as the key to upgrading themselves in everyday life, but wait until bad things happen and then look inward. Although they upgrade somewhat, losses still result. -
Eliminating the Attachment of Elation
2008-09-28Based on my experience, I thought it would be hard to clarify the truth to him and I would normally have just passed him by. But this day, I thought that if I didn't try to explain the facts about Falun Gong to him, he may not have another opportunity. So I went to his cart to look at the plumbs and started talking with him. -
Let's Not Get Lost on Our Way Home
2008-09-27Human society really is a big dye vat. If I slack off and become less strict with myself, I will get lost on my cultivation way. To constantly maintain a clear mind, I must firmly listen to Master and study the Fa more frequently, and with attentiveness. -
Keeping the Fa Study Group Alive
2008-09-27Studying the Fa diligently and cultivating well over the past few years brought home the importance of group study. Through Fa study our moral and ethical behaviour steadily improved. We became more and more diligent and we were able to do the three things in a down-to-earth manner. -
Purge Hatred and Validate the Fa in an Upright Manner
2008-09-24I was thankful that my work organization rarely participated in the persecution of Falun Gong during all these years, but if I should comply with the demand to guarantee in writing not to practice Falun Gong, I would be giving my consent to the persecution. I urged them not to participate in the persecution of Falun Gong and told them that one day they will understand. -
Discard the Mentality of Looking Outward, Take the Initiative to Eliminate the Evil
2008-09-24conclude. A fellow practitioner had a dream and told me that in this dream he saw me holding my arms together, squatting on the ground and shouting loudly, "I must hold on to the end!" I looked like I having a very hard time in his dream. The practitioner asked me, "Are you attached to the time when the conclusion will come?" I looked carefully at my mindset and saw that because my family members and I had suffered from the persecution, I no longer wanted to suffer and looked forward to the end. I placed that feeling before offering salvation to all sentient beings. It was my selfishness at work. I only thought about freeing myself from suffering, and I forgot that my mission in coming to this world was to save all beings.Eventually I discarded a significant portion of this attachment and I knew that I should treasure every minute to do the three things ( study the Fa [the teachings of Falun Dafa], send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth about Falun Dafa and about the persecution to the world's people) well, but I was anxious before the Olympic Games. I was convinced that my attachment to time had been dealt with, and the anxiety arose because I wanted to give people a warning. I thought of the many Chinese people that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) had brainwashed and how they had become atheists, and I thought that a manifestation of extraordinary power would help awaken them. I considered my thought to be a righteous one at the time.What I had expected did not happen, and I was somewhat disappointed. Of course the result would not depend on my individual state, but rather on the situation of the practitioners as a whole body. Looking inward, I found that my thought was not very righteous. I was thinking like an ordinary person, as I paid a lot of attention to prophecies. It was actually a manifestation of my mindset of looking for external things, depending on others, and laziness.In my efforts to clarify the truth, I counted on prophecies to get the points across and often used them as a jolt to people's thinking. In addition, I often thought that if a significant event happened, I could use it to convince people and my efforts would be a lot easier, "Look, wasn't what I told you true? Hurry up and withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations!"
