Overcoming My Introversion to Enable me to Talk to People About the Persecution
2005-05-25I started with the simplest ways first--posting flyers, and sometimes going on-line to clarify the truth. However, whenever I wanted to clarify the truth to people face to face, it was always difficult for me to open my mouth. I hesitated for a very long time, wondering if I needed to change my personality, or if I could go on clarifying the truth only through passing out flyers. As a practitioner, however, wouldn't it be better to add one more way of clarifying the truth? In this way, I began gradually changing my personality. -
Completely Shattering the Chinese Communist Parties Evil Spiritual Shackles
2005-05-22One day in early 2003, I entered into a dreamlike trance state. I was walking on a steel wire above a canyon. What was strange about this vision was that the sky was split into two parts. To my right I saw colourful, rosy clouds covering the sky. It was a spectacular scene. On my left were dark, heavy clouds surging over the sky. At the same time a second vision was even stranger. It was as if my body was divided into two parts. My right side was clear and clean, while my left side was dark and dirty. I could not figure out the true meaning of this scene. -
With Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions, All of the Schoolteachers' Employment Contracts Were Corrected
2005-05-22I went to the principals office and said to her, "I've given my situation a lot of thought, and I've decided not to quit my current position, nor sign the contract." The principal asked many of my colleagues, all of them my good friends, to try and persuade me to give in. I was glad in my heart when they came to me, because I had such a wonderful opportunity to reveal the truth to them. One by one they came to ask me to compromise, and I answered each of them in turn. Whenever a colleague came to me, I told him or her the truth; once my colleague understood, he or she would leave. -
Singapore Is Not Special
2005-05-18When we talk about Singapore, it is easy to associate with some of its "special" conditions. Singapore is a city-state, it is a small region and it does not have natural resources to support its development. Economically, it relies on foreign countries, especially China. Many people have a certain understanding and tolerance for Singapore's inclination to ingratiate itself with the Chinese government, but this should not influence our righteous thoughts regarding this region. -
Some Thoughts about Coordinators
2005-05-18I often felt that fellow practitioners have preconceived notions that coordinators must be steadfast and have good enlightenment quality, and that we are well qualified to be a coordinator and leader for fellow practitioners. As a result, many fellow practitioners unknowingly treat the coordinators as how they would treat the leading personnel of an administrative unit in ordinary society, instead of seeing them as a fellow practitioner. This presents a rather significant test for our coordinating practitioners. -
Falun Gong is a Ladder Leading me to a Bright Future
2005-05-17When I first had a go at the Falun Gong exercises I felt that my body was full of energy. I was so warm and comfortable, not only that but I also felt very light after practising. From that very moment, I realised that I really needed this and I wanted to learn Falun Gong. Two months later, the test I went through was not in a dream but it was my husband who tested me to see if I had confidence in practising Falun Gong. It was very late and I came home as usual from the practise site. We had a chat and unexpectedly, my husband said that Falun Gong was not good. -
2005 New York Fa Conference: Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts in front of the Chinese Consulate in New York
2005-05-15Once in the rain, while we were sending forth righteous thoughts, an American girl stopped her car, walked to us in the rain, squatted and asked us, "Why do you stay here and never leave?" Sympathy showed on her face and she looked as pretty as an angel. I gave her some materials and replied to her with my broken English, "We hope the Chinese Communist Party stops persecuting Falun Gong." She also asked whether she could write this down for publication to let more people know. We expressed our sincere gratitude to her -
Western Practitioner: Giving Up Personally Set Limitations and Wholeheartedly Participating in Fa-rectification
2005-05-12After our assignment was finished, this practitioner shared with us a tribulation that was really bothering him. The three of us talked quietly for about an hour. When it was time to leave, I felt that a major breakthrough had occurred in my heart. I was experiencing and manifesting genuine compassion. That's something that's hard to describe but it is a priceless treasure that comes when we improve in our cultivation. -
Strong Righteous Thoughts Are Omnipotent
2005-05-12At the exhibit case, I gently pulled on the lock once. The lock simply opened. Meanwhile, another practitioner also unlocked the other lock by gently pulling on it once. The practitioner who had tried and failed to open them on his own repeatedly expressed his amazement. All of us were witnesses to the power of Falun Dafa. We removed all the propaganda materials slandering Falun Dafa and destroyed them. -
Stay Alert and Notify Immediately
2005-05-08Upon contacting the bookstore I found that there were two problems with the ordering system. First, the name Li Hongzhi was not spelt correctly when ordering the book “Zhuan Falun.” Secondly, somehow the re-order system for “Zhuan Falun” had not been activated. Therefore, my call to the bookstore corrected the problem immediately. Also, if the practitioner hadn’t contacted me, the bookstore nor I would not have noticed the problem. -
Western Practitioner: Living a New Life
2005-05-07That week I did less and less negative things until the morning of the next group practise I came to the realisation that I didn't want to do these things at all. More than anything, I wanted to go to that next class clean. I threw out my drugs and alcohol and from that day since, I have never gone back. What is even more miraculous is that I didn't encounter any degree of cravings or a desire to go back to that way of life. My life was utterly changed, so quickly, so naturally. My family and friends were completely amazed. -
A Letter More Precious Than a Thousand Pieces of Gold
2005-05-07knew that Canadian practitioners were very busy; they have their jobs in ordinary society, and spend a lot of time working on Falun Dafa projects, but this practitioner's letters to his mother, each one very long and written late at night, managed to communicate key issues while on the surface seeming to discuss everyday topics, providing major assistance to practitioners in tribulation. A letter that can strengthen our righteous thoughts is more precious than a thousand pieces of gold. -
Teacher Guides me In Every Step of my Cultivation
2005-05-04Usually, I am quite introverted and never speak with a loud voice. It was Falun Dafa that gave me the strength to shout with such hope from my heart. At that moment, simultaneous shouting of "Falun Dafa is good," "Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa," and "Give us back our Teacher's good name!" could be heard from every corner of the square. Each banner spelt out "Falun Dafa is Good" in bright yellow letters on red cloth. People stood and watched the contest between righteousness and evil unfold. -
Russian Falun Dafa Practitioners Share their Understandings of the 6th Anniversary of the "4.25" Peaceful Appeal in China
2005-05-01Mary, a Falun Dafa practitioner of over 70 from St. Petersburg said: “The appeal by Falun Dafa practitioners on the 25th of April in China was a legal action protected by the Chinese constitution and would be permitted in a democratic country. Everyone should have the right to express their opinions, yet only those people living under the Chinese Communist Parties (CCP’s) brainwashing education for so many years could incorrectly consider it as obstructing social “security” or be an act of “getting political”, with which the CCP could use as a reason for persecuting Falun Dafa. -
A Confrontation Between Righteous Thoughts and Human Notions
2005-05-01I was struggling with myself as I listened. I felt terrible inside. It became clearer and clearer to me: it was because of my lack of righteous thoughts. In the battle between a cultivator's righteous thoughts and human notions, my righteous thoughts had been unconsciously substituted with human notions. I had been using Falun Dafa as an excuse to hide my attachment to fear and had provided the evil with an opportunity to strike.
