Recognising My Resentment
2008-07-19Looking back, I was upset because my idea was not implemented and I was too attached to my own understanding and the approval and acceptance of others. My resentment came from my attachment to self, and self-validation. Why did I put so much emphasis on my own understanding and ways of doing things? The way to improve is to let go. -
Are Our Thoughts and Actions Indeed on the Fa?
2008-07-19When I knew the evildoers were coming, I told myself, "OK, let them come! I will not hide or escape, I am not afraid of you." I thought my righteous thoughts were strong, but my thoughts were not based on the Fa. The Fa does not require us to resist the persecution the old forces arranged but instead urges us to negate it in the first place. -
Comments on Illness
2008-07-18One chapter from the book 'Journey to the West' talks about the illness karma that Tang Seng endured. When Tang Seng was coping with the illness karma, Ba Jie shouted out that he wanted to break away and leave the group. Wu Kong was the one who explained the real cause of the illness, which lay in Tang Seng's past. -
Our Righteous Thoughts Can Conquer the Old Forces' Attempts
2008-07-18A practitioner owned two stores in a shopping mall, and many practitioners worked for him at the stores. Their products also provided a lot of convenience to other practitioners. However, the city government was demolishing buildings in many areas, and there were rumours nearly every day that this mall would be demolished. There was a lot of panic over this, and many stores moved out. -
Cultivation Stories of Six-year-old Doudou
2008-07-17Of course, sometimes Doudou wants to play all the time, and sometimes she is lazy. But I found that when this was the case, it was always when the adults were not very diligent. When we do well, she can easily accept our reasoning with her. I feel that the process of leading little disciples helps me eliminate selfishness and gradually reach the realm of "selflessness and altruism" required by Teacher. -
Only By Looking Within Can We Better Harmonise the Whole Body
2008-07-17When another practitioner has shortcomings or hasn't done something right, I should take the initiative to help fix it and make it better. Instead of shirking responsibilities, I should carry the responsibility when problems are discovered. I think this is what putting everything into the best state is all about. -
Improvement in Cultivation Does Not Come as a Result of Regret
2008-07-16Divine beings do not do things that they will regret. They do not do things that are inconsistent with their level nor do they have those notions. Similarly, as Falun Dafa practitioners who know the Fa principles, why don't we do as a practitioner should? -
The Beauty of Validating Dafa
2008-07-16My daughter always accompanied me when I went out to distribute Falun Gong materials, whether it was day or night. I said to myself that it was time that I got rid of this dependency. I told her, "You can come with me if you want. If you don't, that is fine, too." -
A New Practitioner's Cultivation Experience
2008-07-14I had the good fortune to start practising Falun Dafa in 2006. Some time before that, my parents had passed away, first one, then the other. In the intervening years, I felt very depressed, and I often lost my temper in front of my husband and children. They didn't like me. A practitioner lent me the main book of Falun Dafa practice, Zhuan Falun, and after reading it, I started to realise my problem. -
Some Thoughts After Reading "Urgent Notice" on the Clearwisdom Website
2008-07-14From now on we should pay attention to this point and regard the Fa as our Teacher! Let's stop providing any loopholes for the evil to take advantage of. From now on we should take the Minghui/Clearwisdom website as the only reference for any important notices. This way no one can undermine Dafa. -
Walking a Smooth Path by Refusing to Acknowledge the Old Forces
2008-07-13I have practised Falun Gong for more than ten years, and have walked a smooth path due to Master's protection. I have not suffered severely from the persecution, but I encounter small tribulations and difficulties. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its persecution of Falun Gong, the cultivation environment changed, but I never thought that I would be arrested or persecuted. Whenever important holidays and sensitive dates occurred, negative notions never existed in my heart. -
Harmonise Everything that Comes from Dafa
2008-07-13A few days ago, while I was again reading this part of Zhuan Falun with a quiet mind, I came to an understanding: Why did I sometimes not do well in passing tests related to interpersonal conflicts? It was because oftentimes I didn't base my thoughts using the principles of Dafa as guidance. Incorrect thoughts were therefore formed. When going through trials, I wasn't able to maintain my xinxing even though I knew what I was doing was wrong. At that time it was too late for correction, because I couldn't let go of my attachments. -
A Special Reunion of Classmates
2008-07-11After listening to what I said, they were amazed, and two of them wanted to learn Dafa right then. One of the classmates from the urban area mentioned that she also wanted to practice Dafa. The other classmates all admired us. I also clarified the truth to them about why the Chinese Communist Party persecutes Falun Gong. I told them that the self-immolation was staged by the government and also about the appearance of the stone with the words saying that the Chinese Communist Party is dying. -
Don't Use the Persecution as the Criterion to Evaluate Fellow Practitioners
2008-07-11Master has taught us the Fa in this respect. I realize that although a practitioner does something well we should not immediately think that he has cultivated well; conversely, if he does not do something well, then we should not immediately think that he has not cultivated well. We should look at things from all aspects. In this way, we can conform to the Fa principle of taking the middle way and being harmonized -
Enlightening to Teacher's Fa on "Pulling Teeth"
2008-07-10Our eliminating the evil is like pulling teeth from a tiger's jaw. It appears to be difficult, but we can indeed completely destroy the dark minions, the evil party and the evil spirit that props it up, along with the rotten ghosts with our righteous thoughts. The power of our righteous thoughts finds no match in modern warplanes or missiles
