Attending Teacher's Lectures on the Teachings of Falun Gong in Person
2004-04-11
I listened to Teacher's lectures with fascination, hoping that Teacher would tell me more. Falun Dafa opened up a brand new world for me and it was exactly what I was looking for. Now, when I look back, that period of time was indeed extraordinarily precious. I withdrew from the rat race of seeking fame and self-interest. My wounds were healed and my diseases were gone, and I started a new journey. It was Teacher who pulled me out of the mud, cleaned me up and led me to a clean and bright road, and guided me in the right direction. -
In a Few Words: Holding on to the Fundamentals of Cultivation
2004-04-10Presently, should we as true practitioners concentrate on quickly reinstating Fa study groups that are unaffected by any other specific matters? Places where three or five, eight or ten people, every week set a time to study the Fa and exchange experiences together just like it was before the crackdown of Falun Gong happened in China in 1999. Let our Fa study groups blossom like flowers everywhere, where every practitioner has a chance to exchange experiences. -
Cultivation Stories of a Young Falun Gong Practitioner
2004-04-10Seeing a puzzled expression on Laura’s face, I said: “If every time you forgot something, and mum brought it to you, you would form the bad habit of forgetting everything. Whenever you forget something, you wouldn’t care much, knowing that mum is always there to help you. Now that you know mum won’t bring to school the things you have forgotten, you will try your best to remember to bring them. -
UK: A Few Stories that Happened at the Chinese Embassy
2004-04-08 I told him that Falun Gong teaches people how to be good. There are rich people and poor people and some of them definitely want to be good people. But how can you be a good person in today’s society? They found the answer in Falun Gong, and that is to follow the characteristics of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. This is the most precious help that Falun Gong had given to them. I also said that it is not only the rich and poor people in China that need the help of Falun Gong, but the people of the whole world needs Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance because it is the hope of the world. -
Clarifying the Truth to Our Families
2004-04-08My experience is: persistence is important. To let people hear the truth repeatedly is a powerful way to change them. Some practitioners may feel disappointed when people do not listen when we clarify the truth to them, but let's think about it, they have been poisoned by lies from Jiang's regime's media, isn't it necessary for us to clarify truth to them continuously? Gradually, those people will change. Many fellow practitioners have heard people say: "I heard of it before, but I'm not convinced. Now after hearing from you, I believe it now." -
Overcoming Difficulties in Practising the Sitting Meditation
2004-04-07An elderly practitioner said that she had set a standard for herself that she would try to endure the pain for as long as possible to meditate in the “Double Lotus” position. One day, she finally managed to sit in the “Double Lotus” position, and she clenched her teeth and endured the pain. Even when she collapsed due to the pain, she refused to put her legs down. Another fellow practitioner said that, as soon as she had put both legs crossed on top of each other when Practising the sitting meditation, she would ask her family to leave a bowl of water on her head to prevent her from moving or twitching until she finished the meditation. -
A Story of a Falun Dafa Practitioner who Lives in a Rural Mountain Area
2004-04-07In the market, at school, on the road, in the farm field, no matter where I met people, I tried my best to clarify the truth to them. Many people in the rural area understood that natural disasters are in fact man-made disasters. So I chatted with them about these things. I talked about how to be a good person and about "Zhen-Shan-Ren" [Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, the main principle of Falun Dafa]. I told them the facts about the persecution of Dafa. Finally, I would hand them the truth-clarification material. -
China’s Hope
2004-04-06However, Jiang Zemin ignored numerous reports about the positive influence of Falun Dafa on Chinese people’s health and morality and started to officially persecute Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999. Obsessed with the desire for absolute power, Jiang ordered persecution against tens of millions of innocent Falun Gong practitioners who are ordinary citizens in Chinese society. The persecution against Falun Dafa is the largest and the most appalling persecution in Chinese history. -
Overseas Practitioners, Please Pay Attention to the Issue of Regularly Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts Four Times a Day
2004-04-05For a long time, many practitioners, including myself, have not been able to continuously send forth righteous thoughts four times a day. Especially in the early morning, I usually could not get up to send forth righteous thoughts. Just because of our laziness, a lot of bad things still exist. It is our own individual problem. -
Walk Your Path WIth Righteous Thoughts
2004-04-05All of you are either police or people assisting in enforcement of the law, but you break the law. Who gives you this privilege? If your answer is ‘the government’ then please tell me the definition of government and show me a legitimate document. OK, you do not have any document with you, that means that your action is not legitimate. I am going on a hunger strike to protest this illegal action, since this is the only way I can protest. -
Showing People the Truth About Falun Gong in Hong Kong
2004-04-04In the beginning I encountered a test that required me to hold a Dafa display board in front of a line of tourist buses. I was conscious of how people would see me and whether they could understand what it was I was doing. With adjustments from time to time, I sent forth righteous thoughts while holding the display board. I also eliminated my mentality of being laughed at and kept the thought that I would let them know the facts no matter how they saw me. -
The Power Comes From Dafa
2004-04-04I also realise that in many cases, it seemed as though I was helping others, or that conflicts occurred because of the other person's problems. When I truly looked within myself and cultivated myself under any circumstance, I could look back and see that all these things occurred because of my own heart. The others indeed helped me. Whatever happens around us is truly due to our own attachments. -
Prisoners Change Upon Witnessing Amazing Turn of Events
2004-04-03In a few days, we became familiar with the other prisoners in our cell. We shared with them some of our experiences that we had encountered in our cultivation, including the miraculous stories of how Falun Gong improved our minds and bodies. We told them what Teacher Li taught us, including how to be a good person. Two prisoners, Ms. A and Ms. B, began to learn Teacher Li's poems in Hong Yin from us. They were afraid they wouldn't be able to memorise them, so they asked us to write Teacher Li's poems on the only paper they had, that is, on the back of the court verdict. -
Remembering Our Sacred Duty and Creating a Benevolent Environment
2004-04-03The foreman of the construction team assigned the practitioner to lead a project. After the project was completed, the project owner paid him a special bonus in addition to the regular payment. The practitioner turned in all the money to the foreman, who was surprised because nobody before had ever turned in so much money. The practitioner said, "I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, and I cultivate Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance and try to be a kind person. -
Volunteering for Dafa Websites is Also Cultivation--My Understanding of Dafa Website Projects in the Past, Current, and in the Future
2004-04-03Over the past four years, all the first-hand information about the persecution's facts are from Minghui/Clearwisdom. In particular, when the persecution first started in 1999, Dafa websites were resisting the evil propaganda from a whole country. The truth-clarifying materials from Dafa websites have been continuously sent back to China; they are also translated into English, so that people all over the world know about the truth. Dafa websites have a special and important role in the truth-clarification. The stable running of these Dafa websites have made the evil scared and helpless.
