Some New Thoughts After the Trip to Geneva
2003-03-24I think we should not only do things, but improve on the inside as well; all that we come across is also cultivation. I just feel that I might not always do Dafa work out of understanding and out of compassion. I feel that sometimes I dont do something with my heart; instead of doing one thing right, I run around everywhere and try doing everything. The result is that, it may look from the outside that I do alot, but in reality I dont. -
Virtue is the Foundation of Music
2003-03-23When people compose music to express pleasant feelings and noble thoughts, this kind of music is bound to be delightful. Nice music originates from a virtuous heart, has the foundation of moral excellence. Only then it is graceful music. In addition graceful music is only fully appreciated by a virtuous heart. -
A Solemn Moment
2003-03-22Looking at the female practitioners carrying the wreaths, I could see that they were not simply carrying these wreaths, they were bearing them with the deepest of respect for the tragic waste of these lives. I was deeply touched by the heart-felt reverence that showed in their solemn faces and in their slow and dignified footsteps. -
Left Hand and Right Hand
2003-03-22No matter whether the persecution is aiming at Dafa disciples in mainland China or overseas disciples, it is actually aiming at all Dafa disciples. Even if we are not the direct targets, we are still under the test of what is on our mind and how we react when other Dafa disciples are being persecuted. The indifference to the persecution of other Dafa disciples is by no means a state that a Dafa particle should be in. -
Break Free of Selfishness and Look at Things from the Overall Situation
2003-03-19When confronted with problems, we automatically think of what we have done, how others feel about our cultivation, what attachments we have, how we think this should be done etc. It is all self centered. But in terms of what it means in Fa rectification, how it affects the overall situation, what the overall situation requires, what we can do to make the overall situation better--these things are often forgotten. -
Falun Dafa Practitioners' Families Resist the Persecution with Courage of Righteousness
2003-03-18The practitioners wife put on her clothes, stood by the door and reprimanded the evil policemen loudly, "If you dare to break in shamelessly like this, I will not let you get away with it. My husband practices Falun Gong and has done nothing wrong. Instead of catching criminals, you spend all your time kidnapping Falun Gong practitioners. -
Let Our Hearts Be United As One
2003-03-18Whether the persecution is against practitioners inside China or abroad; whether the damage is physical or financial; whether the forms of persecution are savage beatings or hypocritical deception, the evil targets the Fa, not practitioners. Therefore, our hearts need to be united as one, although our tasks may be different. -
Strengthen Righteous Thoughts and the Main Consciousness
2003-03-17We all know the importance of studying the Fa, yet many of us make excuses for ourselves and do not study the Fa with a calm mind. I know some practitioners who have not read the book, practiced the exercises, or sent forth righteous thoughts for a long time. The three things that Teacher asked us to do apply to every Dafa practitioner. -
Appealing for Falun Gong in Front of the Chinese Consulate in Milan.
2003-03-16Sometimes on my way to the consulate, it did not rain, but as soon as I sat down outside the consulate, it would start raining with gusts of wicked wind. Once when I was sending forth righteous thoughts in the rain, at first I felt suppressed as if a heavy stone were weighing down on me. Some time later, my legs were in pain even when I did not have them crossed, my arms and back starting aching. -
Some Understandings of Teacher's Recent Comment on a Practitioner's Article
2003-03-16I realised that the different approaches practitioners use actually amounted to only different task allocations. Often the people we clarify the truth to won't immediately believe what they hear at first. Results are eventually almost always only achieved through joint efforts by different practitioners, using a variety of means. -
Thoughts About "Heavenly Demons"
2003-03-15I indeed have a lot of areas that need to be corrected during cultivation. What was deemed a great virtue in the past now becomes the biggest obstacle. When I consider habits like sticking to the rules and being uncompromising, as well as qualities that I refused to consider as positive in the past, it has often made me think twice. -
To Cultivate Away the Old Forces
2003-03-14I think, during our course of cultivation, Dafa disciples understanding of the Fa needs a process. (Of course, my current understanding is not absolutely right and perfect.) During the process, we naturally will talk about and think of the old forces to understand them further. When we really understand about them from the Fa, the word old forces should disappear from our thoughts and our views little by little because we do not even acknowledge them. -
My New Understandings From the Trip to Los Angeles
2003-03-12The second day in the parade, I came to realize more: Whether having a conversation with others, making an explanation, or distributing flyers, they are all to clarify the truth. I started to feel that we all are together. We are particles, just like some fellow practioners kept saying, We participate in the parade together and we are a unity as a whole. -
Before the Human Rights Convention in Geneva (1): Our Righteous Mind
2003-03-11The annual UN Human Rights convention is going to be held. Many practitioners will go to present a petition as usual. At the last stage of the Fa-rectification period, facing this large-scale activity participating with the worldwide practitioners, how can we do better through the past experiences and lessons need us, practitioners all over the world, to have a clear understanding based on the Fa?. -
Two Short Stories of Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions
2003-03-10A few days later, the elder sister told her mother, "Mom, I won't buy new clothing. I want to use my money to make truth-clarifying materials for people. We should distribute as many as we can. To reveal the facts is the most important thing." The younger sister came forward too, "I want to contribute my money too." The mother took the money and said, "You did the right thing. Very good! To clarify the truth is the most important thing."
