All Difficulties Can Be Resolved as Long as We Maintain Strong Righteous Thoughts
2005-11-09In the days that followed, I passed by that lamppost several times. I discovered that this particular flyer lasted longer than any other flyer that I had put up during the past few months. It lasted so long that the colour eventually faded. I realised that if we always keep our thoughts very righteous, we can reduce greatly the number of flyers that will be wasted. -
Police Escorted Me Home After I Let Go of Attachments
2005-11-07I was reading some recently published Falun Dafa materials and did not have time to hide them. Upon entering, the director of the security office displayed a search warrant and said: "We need to search your home." He asked me to sign it. I refused, saying, "I do not have anything you are looking for." The instructor of the Political and Security Office said, "If you have Falun Gong materials, you should hand them over voluntarily. Otherwise the situation will be different if we find them." -
Using the Telephone as a Means to Letting People in China Find Out the Truth About Falun Gong
2005-11-07Another time, I tried to send a fax to China, but someone answered the phone. He asked me what I was trying to send. I answered, "The important facts about Falun Gong." He said, "It is against the law." Then I started telling him the truth about Falun Gong. I introduced Falun Gong to him and told him the facts of China's persecution of Falun Gong. He kept saying "Oh." After I finished, he said, "I have never heard such things. Why don't you fax the information over and I will have a good look at it." -
Germany: The story of Marianna and Marion
2005-11-05In addition to distributing materials, they also sat in meditation, or practised a kind of slow-moving eastern exercise along with music. A lot of Germans felt curious because it was not in the German tradition to be practising such exercises in public. Yet most Chinese knew at once that it was Falun Gong practitioners who were engaging in petitions and calling for the termination of the persecution to Falun Gong that has already lasted for six years in China. -
Our Minds Should be Calm; We Should Not be Attached to Time
2005-11-03Some practitioners always discuss when Fa1 Rectification is going to end, and they have joy written all over their faces as if they are hoping that it will end soon. They don't realise something. If they have not cultivated well, if it ends early, won't they lose the opportunity to cultivate? -
Taking Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts Seriously
2005-10-31At noon I arrived at Tiananmen Square and sat down to send forth righteous thoughts. Then I stood up, walked a few steps and took out a piece of paper from my bag. A plainclothes policeman immediately rushed over to me. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the demons behind him and pretended to ask him for directions. As a result, he just left. I continued to send forth righteous thoughts. -
Do Not Try To Hide From Cultivation By Busying Ourselves With More Things
2005-10-31The fact is, many practitioners are stressed out with the many things that they are already doing, and in some cases, the things they're already doing are not going as well as they should. It is also the case that veteran practitioners who have taken on many important responsibilities are being attacked with huge illness karma. Why is this the case if doing more things is supposed to be the answer? -
Erecting One's Palm Does Not Equal Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
2005-10-27Whenever practitioners mention sending forth righteous thoughts, many of them think of eliminating evil using divine powers, yet they don't look inward when facing problems or issues. They consider erecting palms as a universal way of solving their problems. True righteous thoughts give Falun Dafa practitioners wisdom. Why can't they think of proper solutions when they encounter problems? -
Get Rid of Attachments and Cultivate Diligently
2005-10-27After reading Teacher's new article "The Closer to the End, the More Diligent You Should Be" (October 8th, 2005), I felt that all the words were meant for me. I felt ashamed for still having so many attachments after seven years of cultivation. Here I share my painful experiences in getting rid of attachments during the past month and hope that fellow practitioners can benefit from it. -
Introducing Falun Gong at a University Meeting
2005-10-27Currently, I am a senior at the university. At the beginning of this school year, during the freshman military training period, a junior from the Student Association invited me to represent the seniors in a joint meeting between the seniors, juniors and freshmen. I declined at first, thinking the event was being held for the younger students, and that I am now a senior. But I changed my mind after realising that I could use this opportunity to let more people learn the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution and so I happily accepted the invitation. -
How Cultivating in Falun Dafa Transformed Myself and My Family for the Better
2005-10-21I realised that it is the field of righteous energy and righteous thoughts of a Falun Dafa practitioner. This also awakened some of my attachments so I thought that I had cultivated well. That is when my dad started to swear again. I gave it a second thought and my father restrained himself. I told him several times that he is causing himself big damage when he swears. My father also said that Falun Dafa must be something splendid since it made me quit smoking and drinking, speak the truth and value my job in his office. -
Some Experiences from the Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance Art Exhibition in Sweden
2005-10-18The work of guiding the paintings was an unforgettable experience. I learnt to forget about myself and turn all my focus on the person to be saved. Sometimes both the visitor and I would both have tears in our eyes. It was about meeting another human being heart to heart, and to give the visitor the best gift he or she could ever receive. -
Collapse of Thousand-Mile Dyke Results from Just One Anthill
2005-10-16I was reluctant to think or talk about them, and I only felt that I shouldn't behave so poorly. After reading Master's new article "The Closer to the End, the More Diligent You Should Be," I was touched by Master's great benevolence--He is watching over us and taking care of us all the time. I have been lax and I feel unworthy of Master's benevolent salvation. I mustered the courage, however, to write this article, in the hope to remind other practitioners not to repeat my mistakes. -
How Ten-Year-Old Rourou Cultivates and Lets More People Find Out the Truth about Falun Gong
2005-10-16Recently, when Rourou was practising the second set of exercises, holding the law wheel, she saw many people kneeling down in front of her. The people wore shabby clothes and looked very worried. They kept on begging her, "Save us! Save us!" Rourou asked them to get up but one old man among them said, "We are the sentient beings of your world. You must promise us to cultivate diligently. Only then will we get up and stop kneeling, because only when you manage to successfully accomplish cultivation can we be saved." -
The Importance of Endurance in Cultivation
2005-10-15In the old days there lived a philosopher named Sokrates. One day he said to his students: “Do you think you can each morning 300 times swing your hand like this? All the students simultaneously answered: “Of course. There could be nothing more simple as swinging the hand like this each morning.” In one month he asked them again: “Who swung their hand in the morning?” A few of them raised the hand. After one year he asked again: “Who swung their hand this morning?” One of them, Plato, raised his hand. He was later his best disciple.
