A Discussion of Purity, Truthfulness, Dignity and Righteousness

2007-03-21

In the article, the practitioner said, "Those who truly believe in the Falun Gong teachings have let go of their human hearts. They do not have thoughts of worries and impurity, thus they are pure, truthful, dignified, and righteous." This is so true! After seven years of cruel and insane persecution by the evil Chinese Communist Party and by cultivating according to the principles taught in Falun Gong, practitioners were able to break through with dignity and righteousness,

Meditation and Cultivation of our Characters

2007-03-19

At that moment, I suddenly thought of the preparation for meditation whereby we sit with legs crossed, keep the back and neck upright, leave a space between the upper and lower teeth, let compassion arise in the heart and assume a peaceful facial expression. After I let go of the attachment in my heart, my legs were still painful, but my heart was no longer affected by it. Now I am able to have a peaceful facial expression when I meditate, despite the pain in my legs.

Recalling the Days When Teacher Taught the Falun Gong Teachings in Hefei City, China

2007-03-19

As soon as we entered the building we saw someone we'd known for quite some time and who had always used a cane. She worked for the Qigong Association, and since it was convenient for her, she'd learnt many different types of qigong, but she'd never been able to put away her walking stick. This time, however, she walked into the building without any aid at all, and only after I saw that did I finally believe in Dafa.

Cultivation Experiences Performing with the Divine Land Marching Band in Paris

2007-03-07

On New Year’s Day of 2007, the Divine Land Marching Band was to perform in Paris. A fellow practitioner called me and asked if I would participate. There were only two weeks left and the band really needed some more supporters. I did not have any experience on any musical instrument, nor did I have a musical instrument, but the fellow practitioner said that I would get a drum in Paris.

An American Practitioner's Story of Encountering Falun Gong

2007-03-04

I occasionally went back to the library to pick up The 100... to read again about the Buddha. I had a hunger for this information. However, I did not understand or see how I could live my life according to those beliefs. Thus, my life (which was a mild version of the "rat race") and beliefs were not cohesively one. I encountered many Eastern practises (such as Mahayana Buddhism) and spiritual figures, but I clearly knew each was not what I was looking for. That is, until I found Falun Gong. A Chinese coworker told me about it.

Sydney Car Tour--Young Practitioners Introduce Falun Gong to People in the Suburbs

2007-03-04

Earlier this year, Sydney's young practitioners spontaneously organised a car tour to Adelaide and various urban suburbs to clarify the truth. The temperatures were as high as 47 degrees centigrade (about 117 degrees Fahrenheit). The youngest of the 14 youths was five years old. They clarified the truth about Falun Gong and exposed the terrible persecution that is currently taking place against the practice by the Chinese Communist Party to the local people, despite the baking sun.

Remembering a Falun Gong Seminar in Yanbian, China

2007-03-01

Teacher gave lectures at the Yanbian Auditorium during the period of August 20th-28th, 1994. The scale of the lecture was huge, with approximately three thousands people from about ten provinces around China. Among those people, there were veteran practitioners who followed Teacher from lecture to lecture and also staff members of the Falun Dafa Research Association. They were all very friendly and kind.

Cultivating Away the Heart of "Validating Myself"

2007-02-26

I always wanted to tell fellow practitioners near me, "Look, another of my articles has been published." Once I showed a fellow practitioner a published article of mine. He told me that he had already read it, and he also advised me to spend more time studying the Falun Gong teachings and to study with a calm heart. I noticed that when I heard his words, I felt somewhat disappointed. In fact I had been waiting to hear some words of praise from him! This exposed my show off mentality and the impure heart of wanting to validate myself.

My Recent Experience in Calmly Studying the Falun Gong Teachings

2007-02-26

In order to become diligent in studying the Falun Gong teachings, the Fa, I decided to memorise the book Zhuan Falun. It has been over one month and I am into the third lecture. I feel a rapid improvement. Through memorising the Fa, I have seen the following benefits of calmly studying the Fa:

My Understandings of Striving Forward and Removing Attachments

2007-02-25

When my father-in-law was at the hospital and didn't need me, I went to coffee shops to speak to people via the Internet so that they too could have a chance to learn the truth. I knew I shouldn't stay there for too long. But I didn't shy away from my family responsibilities either. In fact, I was able to do a lot of things when I was at the countryside and I was able to come back when I needed to.

We Ascend As We Eradicate Our Notions

2007-02-20

I remember the first day of the persecution when the rumours claimed white to be black, I read Zhuan Falun from cover to cover and then again. I felt an awakening from the bottom of my heart. With tears falling down my face my heart became steadfast. I went through this step by step. I realised the seriousness and difficulty of cultivation. Facing the tribulations, I saw many of my defects and I decided to do better little by little. As a result I am more strict with myself in both life and work.

A Retired Military Officer Starts to Practise Falun Dafa

2007-02-19

He had suffered from high blood pressure for years and been dependent on medication, but after he started practicing his blood pressure was normal even after he stopped taking the medicine. He had also suffered pain that made walking difficult for him, and no treatment helped, but the pain totally disappeared. Not only was his health better, but his family relationships also improved. The changes were so significant that his old army buddies all said that he was growing younger.

Do Not Neglect Self-Cultivation During this Time

2007-02-16

I realised that in any situation, a practitioner should improve him or herself openly and with dignity, keeping a benevolent and peaceful heart that manifests the quality of a Falun Dafa practitioner--being selfless and putting others first. No matter if it is in the family, in society, or in the workplace, if we don't mind our words and deeds and act as an average person would, we might unintentionally hurt others and cause them to miss the chance.

Our Exercise Site: Exercise Sites in Tainan City

2007-02-16

Early on, there were only two practitioners. One of them was a student in Cheng Kung University and the other was a lady. They found that there were many tourists in the garden in the afternoon. To give chances to more people to learn about Falun Dafa, in March 2001 they decided to set up another exercise site in the afternoon.
