A Grand Harvest After the New York Fa Conference

2008-06-17

This trip was totally fulfilling, and I learned incredible lessons. I also want to thank my wife for her support. Emotionally and rationally, I hope my family can join me and experience what I have experienced. Falun Dafa is more than just wonderful. We have the sacred mission to tell people about the wonders and facts of Falun Dafa.

Cultivating Ourselves During Truth Clarification

2008-06-16

Different environments will expose our different attachments. For example, when talking to strangers, we may feel embarrassed and unwilling to approach them, unsure of how to start the conversation, and think that they will refuse to listen to us. Some practitioners in China may fear being reported to the police and being arrested. These attachments will lead to another attachment of glossing over.

Master, We Will Do a Good Job

2008-06-16

also thought that I was more capable than my husband, hence I should have the right to order him around. That was actually jealousy. Deep in my heart, I felt unbalanced if he did better than I did; at the same time, I was content when he did not do it well and he felt frustrated and humiliated. One day, I suddenly realized that many kinds of attachments were even deeply hidden in my everyday life, and when I admitted they were my attachments, I could feel that my microscopic world shook slightly.

The Power of Concentration and Tranquility

2008-06-15

Concentration is a specific state of tranquility. Concentration can manifest in many ways, including doing well the three things; being tranquil while studying the Fa; being able to conquer any interference, such as sleepiness; being able to assimilate to the Fa; being able to cleanse one's own dimensions before sending forth righteous thoughts; and having a strong main consciousness with strong, correct thoughts, and a strong energy field.

Clarifying the Truth at Columbia University

2008-06-15

In early September 2007, the old Columbia University CSSA website was completely shuttered and a new CUCSSA website was put up which had no slanderous material. On the surface, the reason was that the CUCSSA had a yearly election and replaced its board members, but we know that it was practitioners' tireless efforts in clarifying the truth, directly and face-to-face, that completely turned the situation around.

Looking Within and Finding Attachments

2008-06-14

One day I went to someone's home to clarify the truth. Two days later, a practitioner told me that when I spoke to that person, he immediately thought that I was a cadre. He said that I always ordered others to do things. I was very surprised at that because I had never realized it. In the process of communicating with this practitioner, I suddenly realized the root cause of my problem.

My Experience During the Earthquake

2008-06-14

During the disaster, the practitioners were very calm, not flustered or scared. Every practitioner was thinking of how to save people. During the earthquake, many people witnessed the miracle of Dafa. After the earthquake, practitioners began working harder then ever to clarify the truth to save people, and more and more people have quit the CCP.

Saving Sentient Beings Is Urgent

2008-06-13

There was an article on the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net) that told about a practitioner who tried to persuade a person to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, but no matter what she said, that person just refused to quit. The practitioner was not frustrated or angry. Instead, she said with a smile, "The next time you meet someone who suggests that you quit the CCP, please take his or her advice." I really respect this practitioner.

Sentimentality and Compassion - One Cultivator's Understanding

2008-06-13

Compassion is completely detached from "self", thus one is not concerned whether other people are familiar or strangers. It is to be kind to all people. Compassion is not to measure others with one's own criteria, instead, it is to put oneself in other people's shoes and understand others. For a practitioner, it is also to kindly help others to raise their levels and meet the standards of the Fa at different levels.

Eliminating the False Appearance of Sickness Karma Using Righteous Thoughts

2008-06-12

Sometimes, when we saw that she was having so many difficulties, we as daughters really wanted to let her lie down and rest, and we wanted to help her finish what she had to do. Whenever this notion came out, Master's words, "In Fa-Rectification Your Thoughts Have to be Righteous, Not Human" helped us continuously correct ourselves so that we were able to maintain pure, righteous thoughts to enhance our mother's righteous thoughts and help her through every challenging step.

We Must Not Lower Our Requirements of Ourselves Because We Are New Practitioners

2008-06-12

We all know that time is precious. For the new practitioners, we not only have to catch up with personal cultivation, but we also have to be in line with the standard of a Dafa practitioner in the Fa-rectification period to do well the three things. Cultivation is very serious. We should not change the standard for ourselves regardless of whether we are new practitioners or senior ones.

The Changes in My Family After Watching the Divine Performing Arts Shows

2008-06-11

As my mother watched the show, she murmured: "Look at their spirit. They are totally different from what the propaganda says about them." She then said to me, "I'll be honest with you. When others say something bad about Falun Gong, I do not like it." This was from the bottom of her heart. She watched it over and over again, and she learned to sing the song that Bai Xue sang, "Discard the Old for the New."

Our Children's Behaviors Reflect Our Own Inadequacies

2008-06-11

With regard to our young practitioners, it is the parents' responsibility to bring them up well. If our children's behavior is unsatisfactory, then as practitioners we should first look within ourselves to find our own inadequacies or attachments. After we correct our own behavior, our children's problems will very likely be solved as well.

Learn to Listen

2008-06-10

One will accomplish more if he wants to learn from anyone he meets who is better than him. While listening to a friends' suggestion or opinion, one will learn new ideas, new technologies, and be more harmonious with his friend. Confucius said, "If three of us are walking together, at least one of the other two is good enough to be my teacher."

The People Praise Falun Gong After My Husband's Miraculous Recovery from a Motorcycle Accident

2008-06-10

I, too, realized some of my problems. Although I had repeatedly reminded my husband to study the Fa and told him that he must build a good foundation in his Fa study if he were to do well the task of a divine being, I was harsh when I reminded him. There was no compassion in my manner. I searched inward and decided it was all because of sentimentality
