My Understanding of Selfishness and Selflessness
2010-02-21The second manifestation of being selfish is that one does not want to or is unable to endure. The fact is that, because one's fundamental interest is touched upon, one finds it difficult to endure. When one feels irritated and loses control of one's temper, it is a sure indication that one's heart is stirred. -
Caring for Fellow Practitioners Should be Based on the Fa
2010-02-21I view the duties of fellow practitioners as my own. We help each other and improve together. This is what Dafa disciples should do. How we help each other is the issue I would like to discuss here. -
On Evaluating People
2010-02-20For example, if the manager didn't argue with me over trivial things and was not so strict with me, I would say he was good because I benefited. Also, in everyday society people have their own opinions about things. If another person agrees with me, I may say he is good person. -
Keep in Mind the Salvation of Sentient Beings
2010-02-20What we must do is save people and not regard every opportunity to save people as cooperating with the evil. We are already living in the worst environment. Which place is good, which place is clean, and which system, policy, and law is righteous and legitimate? -
Cultivating Falun Dafa Helped Me Get Rid of My Drug Addiction, But I Was Persecuted for Being a Good Person
2010-02-19One asked me, "How come your eyes no longer look fierce and murderous?" I replied, "It is Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance that changed me; the impossible has become possible." What had happened to me was very quickly spread within the forced labour camp, and many guards learned about it. -
Helping Practitioners to Return to Dafa and Catch Up with Fa Rectification Progress
2010-02-19The process of finding these practitioners exposed many of my attachments and made me more responsible for the Fa and for fellow practitioners. I was unable to bring these practitioners back to the Fa with thoughts to change them and not myself. -
Stumbling While Entangled in Sentimentality; Once Relinquished, the Seas and the Skies Become Boundless
2010-02-18Not long after I stepped out of sentimentality, I encountered my son's and daughter's marriage changes in succession. Because I was already free from affection among family members, these issues no longer disturbed me. Therefore, I was neither confused nor worried; I only persuaded them to do the right thing. -
The Truthfulness of a Cultivator
2010-02-18Teacher said, "I am a person who will not say what he does not want to say, but what I say must be true." I had gone to an extreme on this aspect. On the other hand, being a practitioner I should also cultivate my speech. What should or should not be said has to be measured with the Fa. -
Some Things I've Realized While Getting Rid of the Attachment to Lust
2010-02-17To put it plainly, this is a matter of whether or not you want to get rid of the attachment to lust. If you aren't serious about taking responsibility for this heart, or you study the Fa in order to get rid of lust, then the result is usually not that good. -
Spreading the Fa Before the Persecution
2010-02-17We were all very busy. As the morning fog lifted, the sun came out, and we could see a shape swirling near the sun. We knew that it was a Falun. At about 1:00 p.m. it started to display beautiful colors as it turned. It became bigger and brighter, turning from red to golden, and, radiating outward ,it shone down on us. -
Two Realms: Selfishness versus Selflessness
2010-02-16The more selfishness we let go of, the more selflessness we will have. By being considerate and responsible for sentient beings, we will experience the joy of selflessness. Only by being selfless can we truly understand the profound meaning of the boundless compassion of Dafa and Master. -
Thoughts on the Issue of Marriage for Young Practitioners
2010-02-16I believe that a practitioner does not seek what an ordinary person seeks. Sentimentality is inconsistent and unreliable. Their story reminded me of many stories where fellow practitioners have been persecuted because they failed to prevail over sexual desires. On the other hand, there are many practitioners that got married and have been doing the Three Things well. -
Recovering from Terminal Cancer in Four Months
2010-02-13They were killed by someone else, so it is not as if I were killing them." But now she realized this had been purely self-deception, and it was really her own sin. Employing people to kill was no different than killing them herself, as she was the one really responsible for the deaths of those chickens. She knew that, for her own personal desire, she had employed someone else to kill in an attempt to shift the blame. -
The Springtime in Life
2010-02-13There is really a lot of suffering in life, both mental and physical. Rivers go into the sea; fallen leaves return to the roots. Perhaps after going through the many sufferings, we have to reconsider the significance of life. When we understand the origin of life and the preciousness of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, it becomes easy for us to find the road to the springtime of life. -
Experience Sharing from a Schoolteacher
2010-02-12A fellow teacher wrote a card to me that said, "You have led the students to recover their natural characteristics and have made the campus much purer than before." The whole process made me deeply understand that only Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance can reverse the ever-deteriorating moral trend.
