On Having a Correct Understanding of Supernormal Abilities
2004-03-07"If I can understand, I will believe and if I cannot understand now, I will not believe and will not do it." This is a manifestation of poor enlightenment and disbelief. In many circumstances, the evil exploits precisely this gap of "disbelief." Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners should not stay in the evil forced labour camps and jails, because there are so many tasks waiting to be accomplished on the outside. Dafa practitioners should and are able to righteously walk out of the evil's den. -
Standing up Again after Being Tortured to Paralysis
2004-03-06While trying to escape severe torture at the hands of thugs from the "610 Office", Yang Yuzhu was injured and severely paralysed. Without any medical treatment, this Falun Dafa practitioner miraculously stood up and was able to walk again. The story shocked the evil and let hospital doctors and others understand the power of Dafa. Many of them started to read Zhuan Falun afterwards, and it is said that some policemen took the confiscated Dafa books home for study as well. -
Dafa Practitioners' Words and Actions
2004-03-06In a hurry, I apologised to the store owner and her two apprentices, "I am very sorry. I didn't know you were sleeping. I spoke too loud. It is all my fault. Please do pardon us!" After my sincere apologies, the atmosphere became relaxed. Their faces didn't look as upset as before. They didn't expect that Dafa practitioners were different from ordinary people at all. They felt a little bit embarrassed and said: "Never mind. We have some faults as well. We should try to understand each other." -
Using Righteous Thoughts to Correct Our Omissions
2004-03-05Since I obtained the Fa, I've been trying to improve myself. But I'm still a practitioner in cultivation. Therefore, I did things that a true practitioner shouldn't have done. I still have many attachments to give up. I did not pass every tribulation very well. My impure words and deeds had a bad influence on some people. I have not acted responsibly all the time. I caused pain to others when I wasn't willing to help them. Here, I'd like to share my experiences with my fellow practitioners. -
The Grand Door To The Heavens Has Opened, But How Many People Will Enter?
2004-03-05I came to enlighten that as Falun Gong practitioners clarify the truth and send truth-clarification materials to others it is like an invisible golden string that threads together thousands of families and all sentient beings. They are telling us that if we assimilate to the universal principles, we will be reborn. The new realms and new dimensions are bound to manifest to us. Clarifying the truth is to eliminate the confusion and guide sentient beings to a bright future. -
A University Lecturer Changes His Mind.
2004-03-04During a lecture, a student raised a question on the persecution of Falun Gong. The lecturer frowned and said, “Whenever I see a flyer on Falun Gong, I throw it in the bin.” After class, I wrote him a letter explaining why we hand out flyers. I talked about my friends in Beijing who were persecuted, telling him that under such circumstances, being a person with a sense of justice, I cannot sit back and do nothing. I was late for the next lesson, but when I walked in, I saw him smiling at me. -
My Parents Could Not Change Me, But Falun Dafa Did
2004-03-04I was especially convinced by the precision of these prophesies that mentioned the vast spread of Falun Dafa, and what it said about Master Li. So I got Zhuan Falun and read it from beginning to end in one sitting. In just a few days, I felt my temper was not bad anymore and I felt closer to people around me. My wife said that I had changed towards other people. I knew that all of this was because of Dafa. I then vowed in my heart to give up evil deeds, to return to goodness and to firmly practice Falun Dafa. -
Who is Planting Hatred in My Daughter's Mind?
2004-03-03When I was released from the detention centre she began trying to persuade me to give up Falun Dafa. I said, "How could I stop such a great practice?" My daughter stared at me and said, "You will cause trouble for our home if you continue!" I said, "You have seen the huge health benefits I have gained since I started the practice. Before, I needed your support even to go up or down one step. Now, I am full of energy and walk freely. It relieves all of you from the burden of taking care of me." -
Standing on My Recovered Legs, I Will Dispute with Anyone Who Says That Falun Gong is Not Good
2004-03-02After a few days, the black color of my skin began to subside. Despite the severe pain, and all the tears I had shed and the sweat I had perspired, my confidence level dramatically increased. After a while the black color was all gone and I could stand up. With persistence in studying the Fa and doing exercises I had overcome the illness. Falun Dafa saved my legs and everyone who saw me later was surprised. I told my wife, "Let's go to the hospital to show them. I want to tell them that Falun Dafa is great." -
Transcend Self, Truly Cultivate in Dafa
2004-02-29Dafa is so magnificent and can transform all that is bad to good. Now I can see that some practitioners still have not changed their fundamentally self-oriented nature, even though they are involved with the Fa-rectification and efforts of saving sentient beings. Because their true nature has not changed, they are in fact undermining from within. I know Teacher treasures them and continues to provide opportunities for them to rise by pointing out their shortcomings. -
Discussing False Cultivation in a Few Words
2004-02-27During cultivation, we are unable to distinguish who is truly cultivating and who is not. The standard of a true cultivator is not something we can attain simply by thinking about it. In my opinion, the more one cultivates the more at ease he should be, the more his heart will be relaxed and calm, and the notions in his mind will become fewer and fewer. However, if we have cultivated for many years and the change in our xinxing is small, we should ask ourselves, "Am I a true cultivator? Would a true cultivator act like me?" -
Being Diligent on the Path of Cultivation While Working With Practitioners of the Opposite Sex
2004-02-27I will share a cultivation story that deeply touched my heart. In the early days of Sakyamuni's spreading of his Fa, his step-brother Nanda stayed with him to cultivate. Nanda had a young and beautiful wife and they lived a very happy life. When the Buddha spread his Dharma, Nanda simply could not cultivate diligently. He would often sneak back home to unite with his wife whenever the Buddha went out. Seeing Nanda's attachment, the Buddha took him to a forest where they came across an ugly black monkey. -
A Brief Discussion of Forms and Formalities
2004-02-26As Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples, not only should we break through the constant and regular forces accumulated throughout history at this human level, but we should also free ourselves from the old cosmos's principles. In the process of validating the new cosmos's principles, we should understand the new cosmos's form. Therefore, a true cultivator should constantly understand the Fa-principles, while at the same time constantly assimilate to the cosmos's form. -
Villagers Buy VCD Players In Order To View Truth-Clarifying VCDs
2004-02-26When the persecution first started, some people in the village tore down truth-clarifying posters. Now, nobody tears them down anymore. Posters with "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and "Falun Dafa is Good" can be seen everywhere in and around the village. A banner with "Bring Jiang Zemin To Justice Around the World" is hanging on a street lamp pole for people to see. Everyone in the village knows Falun Dafa is good. -
Some thoughts regarding the United Nations Human Rights Commission
2004-02-25My understanding is that our purpose in clarifying the truth to the United Nations Human Rights Commission about a resolution on human rights in China should be to save sentient beings. If the commission passes such a resolution, this won’t end the persecution - that can only be done by Dafa disciples - but a resolution like that, passed by the representatives of so many countries, would save countless sentient beings.
