After Practising Falun Gong, I Found Physical and Mental Balance in My Life
2007-02-14
She explained that she had seen a group of practitioners demonstrating the exercises at the city mall. She had thought of me, since she knew I was interested in Tai-Chi. She told me it was very important that I read the flyer, even though she was not interested in the practice herself. I did not pay much attention and put the flyer in my jacket pocket. A few weeks later, I found the flyer and started reading it. To my surprise, I found it very interesting and thought it would be worth a try. -
I Am So Grateful That I Was Introduced To Falun Dafa
2007-02-14I am probably the most suspicious person in the world when it comes to beliefs. I am a lawyer, I look for evidence. I insist on tangible signs. And yet when I read the book Zhuan Falun, I felt that everything that I had seen in the world constituted evidence for what is described in this book about "Truthfulnes, Compassion, Forbearance." All of a sudden, everything made sense. My intuition fit perfectly with the information imparted by the book. -
A Sad, Elderly Woman Rejoices and Spreads the Truth about Falun Gong
2007-02-12A Falun Gong practitioner once travelled to Northeastern China to spread the truth of Falun Gong. She had with her six months of wages she had saved for printing the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. This practitioner told me an amazing story about an elderly woman who attained Falun Gong. The following is a brief summary of her story. -
If We Continually Neglect Fa Study, We Shall Eternally Regret Our Loss
2007-02-12In the dream, I had gotten up late and the examination had already started by the time I arrived. There were about 50-60 fellow practitioners taking the same examination. After finishing one subject, everyone went to a different room for the next subject. I realised it meant passing many tests. During the exam, I was muddleheaded. I did poorly even on subjects I was good at. There were questions I previously was able to answer easily. Why was I not able to answer them now? -
Bits of Understandings Gained in the Course of Cultivation
2007-02-10I began to smoke at the age of 15 and smoked for 37 years. When I first read Zhuan Falun and came to the issue of quitting smoking, I knew nothing about cultivation, I only thought to give it a try. As a result, I haven't smoked since and did not have even a bit of suffering. I feel fortunate to have learnt Falun Dafa whenever I see people feeling miserable trying to quit smoking and failing every trial. -
Always Look Upon People with Compassion
2007-02-10As I continued handing out leaflets, I suddenly saw the elderly woman again. She was standing motionless in the middle of the sidewalk, with her back toward me, about 100 meters from where we were practising the exercises. At first I was surprised. "Why is she standing in the middle of the sidewalk and not going anywhere?" I thought. "Maybe she is lost or has forgotten something." It was very strange to see her standing there for such a long time. -
We Must Discard Pursuit and Fear
2007-02-08I was letting my attachments run wild. Once I realised this and was able to get my mind back on track, everything changed. After I had this righteous thought, my legs and body stopped hurting immediately and the drowsiness I was experiencing vanished. I was amazed; because this was the first time I had experienced such a feeling. This was also the first time during the conference I was not sleepy. I was alert through the rest of the conference and the speeches all became interesting. -
Playing "Falun Dafa Is Good" and Walking Towards the Wonderful Divine Land
2007-02-08When I was in China, I read on the Internet about the grand Divine Land Marching Band in New York. However, I had never dreamt I would become a tenor horn player in the Divine Land Marching Band, as I am almost seventy years old, and had never learnt any instruments before. -
Experiencing the Wonders of Falun Dafa
2007-02-05Prior to beginning the practice, my husband had been bothered by gastric disease and nasal allergies for a long time. Quite often he had to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night. He weighed less than 50 kg/108 lb. Once he began practising Falun Dafa, he recovered in a short time without medicine and he gradually became stronger. He gained more than 10 kg/22 lb. My husband experienced the profound wonders of Falun Dafa and became more diligent from that point on. -
Thoughts Based on the Fa Are Divine
2007-02-05I will no longer quarrel with other people, or retaliate when they raise their voice and become angry, like I did several years ago. Previously, I had been using my human thoughts, and human emotions, which led to a bad outcome. Now, I am no longer afraid that the person I am trying to persuade will show disrespect to Falun Dafa. When the disrespect appears, I use my compassion and serenity to patiently clarify the truth. -
"Searching Within" - A Great Tool
2007-02-04Ever since Teacher unveiled the profound teachings of Falun Gong, the Fa, he has always told us that regardless of what issue we have encountered, we need to look at ourselves and find what problems we have in ourselves -- searching within and cultivating ourselves. As I calm down, I ask myself, what are my loopholes, my shortcomings? -
My Cultivation Experiences Selling Tickets for the 2007 Chinese New Year Spectacular in Toronto
2007-02-03I met with an acquaintance of mine last Saturday afternoon as I was leaving the 2007 Chinese New Year Spectacular. I asked her what she thought about the show, and she answered with a smile, "Very good!" Then she pointed toward the crowd of people leaving the show and said in a surprised voice, "Wow! So many people came here to watch the show!" For me, getting these people here to watch the show was a very good process of cultivation. -
Comfort Wears Down The Will
2007-02-02After reading fellow practitioners' articles on removing fundamental attachments, I have been looking unceasingly for my own fundamental attachments. I found them by chance when I chatted with my neighbour. I said, "I only seek a harmonious, commonplace, and peaceful life." On the surface, such request is not of a high level, but for a Falun Dafa practitioner it reveals a deeply hidden attachment and is dangerous. -
Letting Go of Our Ego When Encountering Conflicts
2007-01-31When our local practitioners get together they often talk about their understandings during cultivation, such as issues regarding passing tests. One complained about how his family member treated him, and who said what, and how that hurt him, or some other things that made his life miserable and hindered his cultivation. It seemed that he did this for the purpose of gaining others’ understanding and sympathy. -
I Finally Learnt How to Truly Look Inward
2007-01-31I felt that I was always correct and only my opinion was right, and I could not see that there was a problem with me. Sometimes I even claimed that I would look inward, but in fact I had not truly done so. Actually, the "looking inward" that I did was merely a kind of formality, and I did not know much about truly looking inward; I only said "look inward" to others for the sake of saying it. The purpose of this was to protect those hidden attachments of mine that I had not realised, and it was an excuse to cover them up.
