My Thoughts After Revisiting Teacher's Article "Beyond the Limits of Forbearance"

2006-03-29

After reading the article "Sujiatun Concentration Camp Shocks and Enrages International Community" on March 12th, I shared the same feeling as many other practitioners--that is, rage. It has been seven years since the persecution started. Falun Dafa practitioners have compassionately attempted to save the precious Chinese people and Teacher again and again has given them opportunities. However, it seems that the time has come for the elimination of the evil Chinese Communist Party. As practitioners facing the murder of our fellow practitioners, how should we treat this issue?

On the Changes in 2005

2006-03-23

Some even started imagining all sorts of things with attachments and couldn't calm down. The time during Fa-rectification moves very quickly. Now that the year 2005 is over, some people feel disappointed as they thought nothing special happened during 2005. Some even started questioning and doubting Falun Dafa and Teacher in different ways. I think this is a very serious and dangerous matter that cannot be ignored.

My Experiences and Lessons Learnt from Exposing the Persecution

2006-03-23

The second attachment was my heart of pursuing results. Each time I went to clarify the truth, I wanted to persuade that person and transform their way of thinking. When I noticed that the other party still persisted in holding on to his or her original opinion even after I had explained quite a lot, I started to lose patience and feel upset. Sometimes I even irritated the person. In fact, for everyone who has heard the truth, each time they hear the truth some of bad notions can be dispelled.

Getting to Know Falun Gong: The Cultivation Path of an Accomplished Pianist

2006-03-21

She told me that the cultivation system is easy to learn. But, you have to begin with changing from inside, through improving your morals and character. She gave me the flyers and website addresses. She also left me her phone number and asked me to call her back. We had never met before. She did not talk too much, and said just a few words. However, each of her words penetrated my heart."

Understandings and Reflections about Walking a Straight Path

2006-03-19

We must walk a straight path, but how can we achieve this? This is not just lip service. Actually the path of cultivation that Master leaves for us is "very narrow". If we are a little bit careless, problems will arise. We should not only have a great goal, but also need to mind the details. Only by improving our characters can we walk a straight path.

How I Passed a Tribulation Regarding My Family and My Home Environment

2006-03-19

Since the publication of Teacher's1 article "Toward Consummation," I have searched for my fundamental attachment but with no avail. The issue of self-cultivation has been the most difficult part of my cultivation. Problems with my family have also been challenging. These things have been bothering me for the past several years. However, all of my worries disappeared after I found my attachment.

Further Understanding of "Not Fighting Back When Punched or Insulted"

2006-03-15

This experience reminded me: Aren't the conflicts among fellow practitioners the same? Not long ago when I heard some fellow practitioners' criticise my previous words and behaviour, I was only a little concerned. I thought that I had passed this test quite well, but actually when looking within, weren't those impure thoughts and matters coming back to me? Isn't it the principle of the universe "no loss, no gain?" So now I must undertake to repay it!

We Should Drop Our Attachments and Cultivate Ourselves Towards Godhood

2006-03-12

One thought can decide whether you choose good or evil. When you are faced with a choice between your conscience or your physical comfort or interests, it is a test for you. You shouldn't care about physical losses and gains. A person with wisdom should always choose conscience, since such a heart is priceless and only such a heart can bring you true happiness and a bright future.

My Understanding of Sickness Karma

2006-03-12

When I looked at my feet, I found that the skin on my feet had turned black. My heart became even more desperate, so I asked a few people to take me to the hospital. I comforted myself by thinking, "Let Teacher and the hospital treat me together." That thought was even worse. I took some medication and felt worse and worse. Several days later, I realised that I had not treated the tribulation with a practitioner's righteous thoughts, so the persecution worsened.

Falun Dafa Practitioners on the Path to Godhood - Part 1

2006-03-07

If our thoughts deviate from the Fa, or if we deviate from the Fa in a certain respect, we will certainly not do well. In addition, if we fail to fully negate the restraints of the old forces, we are unwittingly walking on the path arranged by the old forces. As a result, the old forces will have excuses to give us so-called "tests," taking advantage of our attachments that have not been eliminated during cultivation. The saying that "The more diligent one is, the more likely to be persecuted" is wrong.

Compassion Overcomes All, Righteous Thoughts Save Sentient Beings

2006-03-07

I said to him assertively, "We practitioners can. This is the glory Teacher has given us." He looked astonished. I asked him whether he had read the book Journey to the West. In that book, monk Tang said something like this: "A human body is hard to obtain, but you have it. China is a place hard to be born in, but you are born there. Righteous belief is hard to come by, but now it is before you. You should not let this opportunity pass you by."

Removing my Attachment to Jealousy

2006-03-05

After a long period of time, however, he still did not show any sign that he was going to return the money. I was very upset and often complained to my in-laws, who were annoyed by me and sided with him instead. I felt I was extremely wronged and was suffering great injustice. All kinds of attachments popped up at that time, including anger, jealousy and chagrin. Unable to find a place to vent my anger at home, I went around complaining to my fellow practitioners. Now looking back, I realised I was also interfering with other practitioners at that time. I am very sorry for that.

Finding My Fundamental Attachment

2006-03-03

Because I left stains in my cultivation, I was ashamed to raise my head before other practitioners. When I found other practitioners' attachments I would not tell them because I thought that since I myself did not do well, how could I talk about other people's shortcomings. When I had some gain in human society I felt very glad and if someone took advantage of me I would really take it to heart. I liked to hear words of praise and if someone said something bad about me I would feel uncomfortable for quite a long period of time.

Young Practitioners in China Progress through Studying the Falun Gong Teachings Together

2006-03-03

Through studying the Fa these kids improve the levels of their morality. They care about other people, and never swear or curse at one another. When sitting with legs folded, no one wants to put their legs down first. Now all of them can sit with both their legs folded for more than half an hour.

We Should Fundamentally Change Our Conventional Thinking

2006-02-28

Since I started practising, I have recovered from illnesses that haunted me for many years, including atrium quiver, gastroenteritis, prostatitis, rheumatism arthritis, neck vertebra pain, and lumbar pain. I haven't paid even one penny in medicine bills since I began to practise. So what is wrong with practising Falun Gong?
