Arrange Your Time Well; Put All Your Energies Into Validating the Fa .
2004-02-11If we have capabilities but do not use them and do not actively develop our own latent capabilities, speaking seriously, it is like seeing someone in mortal danger and not lifting a finger to save them. Moreover, it is irresponsible to one’s own cultivation. If the time for you to develop your capabilities presents itself but you do not do it, a lot of precious cultivation opportunities may be lost and many sentient beings that have placed their hopes in you may not be savable. -
Through All My Years of Bitter Struggle I Was Waiting For Falun Dafa
2004-02-10Other illnesses and pains all disappeared like a cloud of smoke. I knew that Teacher had purified my body and heart. I really experienced the situation of having a light body without any illness and great spiritual and physical well-being. When walking or riding a bicycle, I felt like I was being pushed forward by a wind at my back, with my legs and body so light they felt as if they would fly off with the wind. This was something I had never experienced before. -
Jiang's Culture of Hate and Terror Showcased in Paris as Yellow Scarves Are Barred from "Culture Year"
2004-02-08"I decided to write an article entitled "Too Much Vaudeville and too Little Culture" about this "culture" that has been incisively and vividly showcased in Paris--a farce which clearly tells the world's people that other than lion dancing, playing the dragon lantern, and showing a cheongsam, the Chinese ruling Party indeed has its own "culture" of "contents of thinking." This "culture" is what Jiang Zemin has initiated and created in person. It is the culture of hate and terror against the goodness of our 5,000 years of Chinese culture, which uses Falun Gong's "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" as the main target. This "culture," when Hu Jintao visited Paris, was presented to France as a special program for the "Chinese Culture Year" by Jiang Zemin's regime." -
How Mr. An Began Practising Falun Gong
2004-02-08Mr. Jin was fully deceived by the government propaganda and said something slandering Falun Dafa. After hearing Mr. Jin's comments, Mr. An yelled "You don't have to believe in Falun Dafa, but you should not curse it! Have you ever heard that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished by evil? Justice will prevail eventually." Mr. Jin left quietly after he heard what Mr. An said. Mr. An cleaned away the cow manure and continued to read the poster. -
Holding a Peaceful and Compassionate Attitude towards Sentient Beings to Save Them
2004-02-07I asked myself why I went to the newspaper office to tell them about my experience in Paris. As practitioners, nobody would help us if our mentality of selfishness arises. I began to get clear-headed. I should be using the Paris event to expose the evil, and clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the world. Master Li has pointed out very clearly in the 2003 Atlanta Fa Conference, “The most important goal in clarifying the truth is to save sentient beings.” -
Fa-Rectification Cultivation Gives Us More Strength Than We Think
2004-02-06I enlightened that on the road of cultivation, if I only care about personal consummation, I will always worry about whether I can hang on, and whether I will fall. As a result, my energy will be gradually consumed. However, if on the path of Fa-rectification cultivation we cultivate for others and for all sentient beings, we may find that we have more strength than we think! Not only can we pull others up on the way, but we can also help ourselves to reach the destination! -
A Deaf & Mute Practitioner Silently Validates Dafa
2004-02-05For the past three years, besides studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, this practitioner spent much of his time performing physical work for families in difficulty, those lacking people to do necessary hard labour. When he saw people needing help with planting rice shoots, he would volunteer to help. If he saw people needing help to carry heavy loads, he would also help. He would help fix the roads if he saw that they needed it. There were countless tasks like this that he contributed to. -
Let Go of Oneself and Assimilate to the Fa
2004-02-01I understand that because of Dafa’s choice Fa-rectification exists and with it the hope that our lives can be saved. Otherwise, everything would have been destroyed. Dafa’s choice is the foundation for the birth of the myriad things in the cosmos, and is also the precise reason why our lives are generated, renewed and saved. Harmonizing Dafa’s choice is the overall meaning for the generation and existence of our lives. -
Cultivation and Getting a Driver’s Licence
2004-01-30I started learning to drive over a year ago. At first I thought it would be very easy. But it was no simple matter and it took me one year to get a driving license. At the same time, the process of my cultivation went completely beyond my expectations. I failed the first test after five minutes because I did not see a traffic sign. Later, it came to mind that the result of the test just reflected one of my problems when doing Dafa work. That is, I had the tendency to regard Dafa work as some ordinary work and tried to finish it in a hurry. -
Russia: We Cannot Wait Anymore
2004-01-25On Dec. 31, the last day of 2003, I went to work with a whole bag of introductory newspapers and books about Falun Gong. I intended to leave the bag at my work site so that I would have immediate access to them whenever I want to distribute them in the future. A security guard told me that Dec. 31 was not a working day. She even called her superior, and insisted on not letting me in. I asked if I could drop the bag of newspapers and books in her office, and pick it up after the New Year. She said no. -
England: Things that we should not have
2004-01-24I understand from the Fa that only when we cultivate till we are without omissions can we reach consummation. However, under the influence of human concepts, I found myself unconsciously dividing attachments into two - “bad" attachments and “not so bad" attachments. For the latter ones, I found myself not as determined, and intentionally making mistakes in eliminating attachments because of my weak main consciousness and the effect of thought-karma. -
A Trivial Matter
2004-01-21When I received the paycheck in early August, I noticed that the company had forgotten to account for my leave. I had received an extra day’s pay. I went to the foreman again. After he listened to my explanations, he asked, “What is your hourly pay?” I said, “Ten Euros.” He said with a smile, “Mine is 20 Euros an hour. It is fine, forget about it!” Then, he returned the paycheck to me. I insisted, “Please talk to the people in the office.” -
Continually Breaking Through My Own Barriers
2004-01-20I’ve experienced tough times after obtaining Dafa. One time after I came back from Fa-study, my husband was so angry that he produced a 30cm long fruit knife. He cut my clothes and threatened, “You are lucky that you ran away. If you had been too slow, I’d have killed you with this knife.” After this, things became better. Now I’ve become more flexibility in spreading the Fa and practising the exercises. I used to feel afraid after Fa-study and think in my mind, “Oh, I’ll be scolded when I get home.” However, after changing my mind: I said to myself that I cannot be afraid. It’s sacred for us to learn Dafa. We’ll have a high level in the future. What am I afraid of?” When I have righteous thoughts, I am no longer afraid. -
Some Thoughts On the Issue of Special Agents
2004-01-19If there are special agents around us or some fellow practitioner is suspected of being a special agent, we should all look inward to see whether it is due to our own field not being benevolent enough, not peaceful enough, not righteous enough, or not harmonious enough. If this is the case, we should strengthen our Fa study, continue to send forth righteous thoughts, and communicate more with fellow practitioners to form a firm and solid body. -
Germany: Exposing Jiang's Crimes Locally
2004-01-18Practitioners saw him several times and he was willing to talk with them. He knew the truth about the persecution well. However, he thought it had little to do with him and that he could do nothing to help. During Jiang’s visit in Germany, one western practitioner’s human rights were infringed upon by German policemen under pressure from Jiang. When the MP was approached by this practitioner, he immediately showed an interest and said that he would write letters to the relevant police department to find out the details. I think he felt that the incident was relevant to him as it occurred in his election district. This allowed practitioners to further clarify the facts to him about Jiang’s persecution of Falun Gong.
