Pondering Over Life: My Thoughts by the Seaside

2009-12-24

As I walked closer and looked at the boundless open sea and high mountains situated on both sides, I was suddenly filled with such strong feelings and emotions: I wanted to open my arms to embrace the mountains and ocean to my chest, and to open my heart to put all living things in my heart! At that moment, every human worry and emotion were all diluted by the seawater without a trace.

Handle Every Single Thought and Idea Well

2009-12-24

With righteous thoughts and righteous actions we can save more sentient beings. Continuously getting rid of attachments and human thoughts, rectifying every single thought and idea is true cultivation. In order to achieve that, one must study Fa more and well, remind himself/herself that he/she is a Dafa practitioner, and use the Fa to guide everything.

Memorizing the Fa

2009-12-23

"It would be a pity if I did not memorize such a good book." However, I was afraid that I was incapable of memorizing the whole book. Then I realized that my lack of confidence was because I did not have enough faith in the power of Fa and Master. If fellow practitioners could do it, why couldn't I?

Giving up the Stubborn Attachment of Refusing to Accept Criticism

2009-12-23

The attachment of "self" manifests in many ways. It can manifest at work, at home, in front of adults, in front of kids and in front of fellow practitioners. At home, I am always concerned about what everyone else is doing. I have to be in control of everything, big or small because I always think my approach is the best.

It Was Dafa That Saved Me

2009-12-22

Before practicing, I was very particular about what I ate. I cared about the nutritional value of foods, and liked fresh and live things. As a result, I also accumulated a lot of karma this way.

Wearing Away Attachments and Walking Upright on the Path of Cultivation

2009-12-22

I had heavy attachments to personal interest. As my income increased, it led me to become more and more interested in financial rewards. I even became attached to taking small, petty advantages to help me look better in the eyes of others.

Walking the Path Righteously Amidst Tribulations

2009-12-21

New Year's was fast approaching, and I hadn't been paid for several months. I decided that I should go ask for my salary. Dafa practitioners are being persecuted and put in prison, and I wasn't being paid for working. From the perspective of compassion, my boss was in a maze. Shouldn't I remind him that this was a kind of financial persecution?

Thoughts on the Mentality of Showing Off

2009-12-21

Because the mentality of showing off is so indecent, it become something for a cultivator to avoid at all costs. Also, because it is deeply rooted in the origin of things and has so many connections with other attachments, it is very stubborn.

Steadfastly Memorize the Fa

2009-12-20

By training myself to memorize the Fa this way, after four months of painstaking effort I was able to recite the whole book of Zhuan Falun within two days. When walking together with another practitioner, we took turns to recite each section after another and were able to recite a whole lecture within a short amount of time.

Falun Dafa Has Brought Our Family So Much Joy

2009-12-20

In today's society in China, my son can still be considerate and understanding of others' situations. I think that my cultivation in Dafa changed him. Although he does not practice Falun Gong, the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance manifest in the way he conducts himself.

Realizing the Importance of the Whole Body

2009-12-18

During the parade several Thai women in their thirties waved to us with great enthusiasm and shouted over and over, "Falun Dafa is good!" I saw that one woman had tears in her eyes as she shouted. Although this was just one face, actually, many sentient beings who attended the parade were moved and saved.

Walking Steadily on the Dafa Cultivation Path

2009-12-18

I conduct myself properly - doing things according to Dafa. I own a small booth at a market where I sell daily living necessities. My customers all come with different personalities, and make various comments. I always stay calm, and treat every customer with compassion, no matter whether they buy things from my booth or they don't.

Letting Go of Attachments and Being Diligent in Cultivation

2009-12-17

Every word she said was like a sword stabbing into my heart and agitating my nerves. I sat down in a meditation position with the conviction that I would safeguard every single thought of mine so that I would not be carried away by her no matter what happened. I suppressed my impulse to look outward,

Cultivate Away the Attachment to Comfort

2009-12-17

Envy and longing are all attachments, and what's even worse is the attachment to comfort. Whether you are diligent or not does not depend on the environment. It is up to your heart.

Help Those Who Have Fallen Behind

2009-12-16

For those who have been "transformed" due to their isolation, sealed off in mainland China, sealed off from knowing other practitioners, and unable to know the Fa and separated from the Fa, it is simply too difficult for them to change back on their own. This is why they desperately need our help.
