Starting to Look Inside
2003-11-02
It is my personal understanding that whatever problem we come across and no matter what the situation, it is likely to be linked to our own attachments. I have found myself more frequently in situations in which I was constantly being criticized. Though it was hard not to become upset by it, I did learn to become more patient as fellow practitioners pointed out my attachments according to their perspectives. -
Remission From Cancer - My Mother's Cultivation Story
2003-10-24Mother's health was getting better day-by-day. She insisted on leaving the hospital. I asked my brothers, sisters and other relatives and they also hoped to get mother out of the hospital. So I went to the doctor again. He also noticed the changes in my mother and said he would decide when the X ray test results come out. When the test results came out, the doctor was very surprised. The cancer tissue, which had earlier spread to the lungs, had now disappeared. The lung X-ray was clear and the cancerous bump had disappeared. -
Treating Dafa Cultivation with a Pure and Clean Heart
2003-10-24I remember that I had all kinds of deep and apparent attachments in the beginning of my cultivation. The relationship among my family members and my colleagues was very tense, and it seemed that I was in trouble all the time. But at that time I treated Dafa cultivation with a very sincere and pure heart. My only wish of cultivation was to return to my original, true self. With the gradual elimination of my attachments, my interpersonal relationship was getting better, and it was getting easy for me to create harmonious atmosphere. -
What We Do for Dafa Should Come from Our Own Hearts
2003-10-21As particles of Dafa it should be only natural to do so and from that perspective there should not be a need to push or pressure each other into doing so. It is my understanding that Master has never pressured us into anything, so why should we practitioners act differently when it comes to this? We all should be aware of the importance of the things we are doing today, but we cannot forget to cultivate ourselves in the midst of this. -
Three Stories from Prison
2003-10-18Mr. Zheng, a Dafa practitioner, was arrested and imprisoned for raising awareness about the persecution. Upon entering his cell, the head of the cell immediately expressed his greetings, "All other cells have Falun Gong practitioners in them. I heard that Falun Gong is quite marvelous. Our cell is the only cell that doesn't have Falun Gong practitioners. How come they are just so unfair to our cell? It's wonderful now that you are here. Hurry up and teach me the exercises." -
A Short Discussion About the State of Being Busy
2003-10-18A simple Chinese character contains a lot of information. For instance, the Chinese character for “busy” is constructed by the character for “heart” on one side and “death” on the other. The character indicates that when a person gets “busy”, his or her “heart” tends to become “dead”. A man with dead heart is inclined to get into trouble. The Chinese word for “hurry” depicts a picture of a messy wasteland blanketed with weeds. -
A Few Words About Changing the Way We Think
2003-10-17Usually we think from the "me" perspective, on an I-would-like-to-do-this-or-that basis. Unconsciously, our priority becomes our own understanding, cultivation state and feelings. By following this pattern of thinking, we then mistakenly consider what we have done, based on our own wishes, as done according to the Dafa standard and requirement. In other words, this kind of thought pattern, albeit with good intention, would make us try to get what we want from the "me" perspective. -
Upgrading Character When studying the Fa
2003-10-15It has been one year since I started practicing. As soon as I read Zhuan Falun I knew this book could really guide me to higher levels and all the way, I had no doubt about it. Sometimes I have really had a tough time, even wondering whether I can do this at all - if I really can manage to continue cultivation. At that time I have always felt that I just had no other choice but to continue, because this really is the path I want to take. -
Indebted to Falun Dafa and to Master Li (Moscow Fa-Conference 2003)
2003-10-15For me, the wish to get rid of attachments, stubborn desires for material gain preceded good results in terms of improving my physical and mental health in relation to practicing Falun Dafa. In a single month’s time all of my symptoms that I had due to an enlarged prostate were gone (it was 5 times its normal size previously), which allowed me to stop taking the medications that I had been told I would have to continue taking for the rest of my life. In a month’s time I stopped going to the chiropractor whom I usually saw weekly, because the pains in my leg and back disappeared. -
Spreading the Fa at an Orphanage in Kiev (Moscow Fa-conference 2003)
2003-10-14The children were asked to name all the things they can think of when they hear the words “Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance”. It was very touching to see how the children were thinking about these simple, pure truths, about which, due to the unfavorable circumstances, they had very few opportunities to think about. They surprised us with their deep understanding, and even taught us some things. -
Reflections on the Current Stage of Fa-Rectification
2003-10-14My current understanding in proceeding with the lawsuit is to clarify the truth to as many people as we possibly can in a controlled way. I mean we can use one aspect of the persecution to clarify the truth to one person and another part to clarify the truth to another person, but every practitioner should be using this lawsuit to clarify the truth to as many people as possible each day -
Heartfelt Words from a Practitioner: I Once Sat in a Wheelchair...
2003-10-11I would never have imagined that just after beginning to practice and read, my physical condition significantly improved. My family members all noticed that I was getting better every day. The symptoms of my illnesses disappeared one by one, and day by day my energy level rose. In a brief two-month period my health had all but returned. Even an egg-sized tumor that was growing in my armpit totally disappeared. I was immensely happy, and my whole family witnessed my healing process. -
“Who Dares Let Go Of An Everyday Person’s Heart”—Truly Searching One’s Inner Self in Conflicts
2003-10-08If you recognize that conflicts are caused by some attachments of yours or caused by the bad effect brought about by yourself, then why don’t you find the courage to take a step further and tell others about your shortcomings and hope everyone can advance together? In conflicts, in addition to daring to truly search oneself, one also needs to be honest from the bottom of one’s heart. See what will happen if one really has the sincerity to resolve conflicts? -
Criminals Become Good People and Nobly Resist Persecution after Learning Dafa in Jail
2003-10-08When the police attempted to forbid her from practising Falun Gong, she said to them, "I am unable to live without Falun Gong." On the night before the sentence was going to be pronounced, she dreamed that she was wearing white clothes and lying on a bloody road. A gentleman came and helped her up. He told her that she would not die. The next day at the sentencing she was granted a reprieve. This sentence was totally unexpected. -
Completely Getting Rid of Selfishness
2003-10-01"Selfishness" penetrated my whole cultivation practice; recently I could see my selfishness in a lot of areas. When encountering problems, I knew to look inside myself, but a lot of times I always stopped at blaming myself and still found an excuse for holding on to the remaining human attachments. Sometimes a word from other people or an event touched my remaining attachments and shook my heart, causing me to become angry.
