Underestimating Our Abilities Indicates a Lack of Faith in Dafa

2008-05-15

How can we dissolve our human notions while strengthening our divine thoughts? We must listen to Teacher and study the Fa more. Whenever we encounter tribulations, divine thoughts will be expressed, which will enable us to resolve our issues. When we are able to do so, there will be no more persecution.

Only Divine Thoughts Can Save People, Human Thoughts Cannot

2008-05-14

This is just like Teacher said, "When you always think that you've got health problems, you might just give yourself health problems..." Why did this happen? "That's because your character has dropped to the level of an ordinary person." In other words, I was just an ordinary person at that time. An ordinary person cannot save another ordinary person. In that state, I certainly could not save the Party secretary.

Getting Rid of the Attachment to "Validating Oneself"

2008-05-13

I misunderstood the meaning of what Teacher defined as a "good person" and thought that I appropriately fought to protect the "truth." Subsequently, I was not tolerant, lacked good self-control, and demonstrated even less compassion. This issue has caused some problems concerning my relationships with others.

On Being "Busy"

2008-05-13

If we always choose the Fa first, then the use of the word "busy" becomes different. If we consider validating the teachings of Falun Dafa and saving sentient beings as more important than any other things, then our hearts are selfless. This attitude raises our xinxing (character) level, and it brings us into a process of giving up our human attachments.

A Brief Discussion on the Attachment of Fear

2008-05-12

Every practitioner probably has many understandings and experiences with the attachment of fear. The attachment of fear is an obvious human attachment, one that we cultivators must be able to identify and then get rid of. Otherwise it will affect the diligence of many practitioners.

Is Dafa Work "Volunteer Labor?"

2008-05-11

here is another thing. Many practitioners view their local truth-clarification material centers and the Clearwisdom website as "volunteer work" contracted to certain practitioners, "work places," or "higher authorities." Instead of studying the Fa, looking inward, and coming up with different ways to solve the problems, they push all their problems onto others.

Being a Particle of the Whole Body

2008-05-11

Think back. When practitioners in Tianjin were arrested in 1999, we went to Beijing. That was the April 25th spirit, which will never perish in the universe. But now, how many of us go to the local police stations, detention centers, and labor camps to request that practitioners be released. How many of us send righteous thoughts and put forth our efforts to help them after they are persecuted?

Touching Story of an Older Falun Dafa Practitioner Clarifying the Truth in a Mountainous Area

2008-05-10

Some practitioners asked why she was not afraid. Ms. Li replied that in her experience, she holds only the thought of assisting Teacher in Fa-rectification and saving people, maintains righteous thoughts and acts righteously in the face of ordeals. In this way, one's righteous thoughts will be strong, and one is able to walk through the tribulations.

How to Handle the Issue of Living As a Single Person in Everyday Society

2008-05-10

Thus, the only choice I have is to act according to the Fa that Teacher teaches us. We are creating the future. The people of the future will form families, so it's all right for us to have our own families. However, the future people's moral standard must comply to that of the new universe. One of the requirements is never to engage in any sexual activity before marriage, so we should be a role model in this regard.

Learning How to Deal with My Emotions as a Cultivator

2008-05-09

We had all committed enormous sins. Was it still worthwhile for us to continue practicing cultivation? Before long, all three of us wrote solemn declarations, expressing our repentance and determination to begin cultivation practice all over again. But repentance didn't mean we could easily carry on practicing. Tests followed.

Hints in My Dreams to My Not-So-Diligent Self

2008-05-09

I now realize that all these attachments are the cause of my not wanting to save sentient beings and being a real cultivator. All these mundane matters have moved me, and I was not even aware of the fact that I was bringing losses to myself.

Finding One's Shortcomings Is a Golden Key for Practitioners to Solve Problems

2008-05-08

After finding my attachments, I diligently studied and memorized the Fa. When each paragraph of Fa appeared in my mind, a great deal of energy also entered my field. By then, if I felt any desire, I knew the thought was very dirty. If we neglect Fa study, our righteous thoughts can become insufficient. There were so many dirty things in my dimensions, especially the lust.

Studying the Fa Diligently and Looking Inward to Find Our Own Shortcomings

2008-05-08

Last month I resolved to myself that regardless of how busy I am every day, I must ensure that I study at least two lectures in the book Zhuan Falun, even if it means going without sleep. Only a month has passed by, but I feel that I have improved significantly in many respects.
