Where Do the Bad Thoughts in Our Minds Come From?
2005-02-18
After reading the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party," I suddenly realised the root cause of my problem. For the past several dozen years, people who live in China have been instilled with many evil substances by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). We all live in the field covered by the CCP, so we cannot realise that there are evil substances in our minds. -
If We Follow Master's Instructions and Do the Three Things Well, We Can Achieve Twice the Results with Half the Effort in Our Everyday Duties
2005-02-16At the time the finance bureau was going through test reforms, and only 40% of those taking the new tests passed. I was scheduled to take the last offering of the new test. Because of the low passing rate, the test format was eventually changed. I was the eldest student in the class, and the lecturer breezed through the materials. I was busy taking notes without any time to think. I had never touched a PC and have not taken any classes for tens of years. My husband was waiting for me to pass the test, and he was also weighing my ability -
A College Student's Realisation in Cultivation Practice
2005-02-16I felt that the fellow practitioner was ignoring me. However, I did know clearly in my mind that definitely I had some problem myself. Then what was the root cause of it all? Finally, I desperately tried my best to repeatedly tell myself, "This is a trick to separate me and fellow practitioners. I do not agree to it!" But the effectiveness of this way only lasted briefly. I knew that problems need to be resolved and not avoided. -
Thoughts on the Path of Studying the Falun Gong Teachings and Raising My Character
2005-02-13On the path of cultivating, I have come to understand that the goal of cultivation is to save sentient beings. This is a major difference between Falun Dafa cultivation and other types of cultivation practises. To save sentient beings, we need to meet with everyday people, and live among them with a similar lifestyle. Therefore, we should not quit our jobs, but rather, we should do well at our work. I also realise that there is no fixed answer as to how we carry out our daily work in ordinary society. In other words, there is no "fixed" or "concrete" answer, but our own cultivation levels determine what we should do. -
Having Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions As a Genuine Falun Dafa Practitioner in the Fa-Rectification Period
2005-02-10Teacher clearly pointed out my existing problem. I was truly ashamed of myself and my cultivation state. I not only had attachments of "selfishness" and "egotism" but was also pursuing consummation, had a self-satisfied heart, thought myself good, and so on. I now understand and realise that I was in danger. Teacher always leads us and reminds us to walk righteously at all times. After clearing away interference and attachments, I was able to pay more attention to Fa study and gradually the bad state disappeared. -
Recalling the Days of Travelling with Master Before and After Falun Gong Was Made Public (Part 1)
2005-02-10In 1991, after Master returned from his visit to Thailand, we went to the Jietai Temple in Beijing with Master. At lunchtime, we ate at a small roadside restaurant. We all tried to pay for the meals after we finished eating, but Master told us to stay put and he went to pay for the meals for all of us. This touched us deeply because we all knew that it had always been customary for the disciple to provide for their masters in other qigong practices; this was the first time for us to experience seeing a master paying for his disciples' meals. Over a dozen of years have passed, but the scene of that moment still leaps before my eyes. -
Maintain an Unshakable Calm
2005-02-10We could not hear clearly the questions raised by people viewing the exhibit, and they could not hear our replies, either. I tried to talk to people as loud as I could, but to no avail. At that moment I felt really annoyed. I knew this was interference and that it must be eliminated by sending forth righteous thoughts. However, I also immediately saw my own frustration and irritation. I adjusted my state of mind and made myself settle down and not pay attention to it. Right away I noticed that things changed for the better and my interaction with people improved significantly. -
Enlightening to Principles in the Fa
2005-02-08It was how I interpreted the Fa (law or principles, the teachings in Falun Gong). The reason for that was that I didn’t think much about the deeper meaning of the word ‘interpretation.’ Only after Master gave us some hints did I check the meaning of the word in the dictionary. The dictionary identified the word interpretation as ‘explaining.’ Only now do I recognise my wrongdoing and understand that I sabotaged the Fa. In the meantime I had only a shallow understanding of Master’s words and could not see the deeper connotation. -
Advice to Practitioners Outside of China on Revealing the Facts About the Persecution to Chinese People
2005-02-08I knew another young man who liked to browse the Internet. I thought he had strong notions and didn't know the truth about Falun Gong. When I mentioned Falun Gong to him, he immediately told me, "Falun Gong is actually pretty good. Many people practise it abroad. They have sent me some articles to read. Jiang suppressed it out of jealousy and has been sued abroad." -
The Power of Art In Introducing the Persecution Taking Place Against Falun Gong
2005-02-08Righteous art can touch people's minds and hearts. Many people say, "It's shocking!" Others are moved to tears. Some practitioners have said that some issues are difficult to explain, and that during discussion, even when questions are clearly answered, people sometimes seem apathetic or disinterested. However, standing in front of the paintings, they immediately understand the message. This type of comprehensive visual information speaks deeply to peoples' minds, awakening their compassionate nature, and greatly shocking the factors that cause their apathy and lack of understanding. -
We Urgently Need to Improve the Whole Body in Order to Change the State of "Busy-ness"
2005-02-02I have understood from sharing on the Internet that the practitioners overseas are very busy on specific projects and practitioners in China are very busy working to produce factual materials about Falun Dafa. They hardly have time for studying the Falun Gong teachings, resting, etc. The practitioners working on the material production sites that I have contact with are also in a state of "being too busy." I realise that we urgently need to improve the whole body in order to change the state of "busy-ness." -
Cultivation Stories of Young Falun Dafa Practitioners from Mainland China
2005-02-02Young Falun Dafa practitioner Haohao is less than five years old. He can do all five Falun Gong exercises and can recite all of the poems of Master's Hong Yin II. He also can sit in the full lotus position with his legs crossed on top of each other, and sends righteous thoughts together with his mother and his elder sister. Once when he saw his grandma mopping the floor, he took the mop from his grandma and cleaned the floor himself, saying in low voice to his mother, "Following [the Fa] in everything, compliance is cultivation." (Hong Yin). -
Falun Dafa and "No Politics"
2005-02-02Falun Dafa is a superior cultivation way within the Buddha School. In order to make sure that its practitioners will genuinely cultivate to higher levels, Falun Dafa has a very strict requirement that practitioners must never get involved in politics. Throughout human history, there have been numerous kings, princes and other royalty who abandoned their worldly power and wealth to live a life of cultivation. -
Treat the Sentimentality Between Husband and Wife with the Compassion of a Cultivator
2005-01-30My husband is a driver for a kindergarten run by his sister. One morning I asked his sister about his salary and then started a fight with him. I completely forgot that I was a practitioner. I even swore not to talk to him ever again. Three days later we were still not talking to each other. On the fourth day at 10:00 p.m. my husband still had not come home. I started to calm down and admitted to myself that I had done something wrong. -
Discovering Shortcomings While Making Lanterns
2005-01-30In one sentence, the plates that I had spent 5 to 6 hours to engrave became useless. I felt hurt. Seeing that my mind was affected, Xiaoli said, "My dear fellow practitioner, to tell you the truth, I felt that the plates you made were pretty good. But do you know why Xiaota did not want them? When we do work for Dafa, we need to use our hearts. Otherwise it would be like doing ordinary people's work. You should ask yourself, 'Did you use your heart to make the plates?'
