Genuinely Cultivate in Dafa, Practice the True Value of Life

2009-09-14

I would like to say to all those fellow practitioners who, like I was, are still attached to ordinary human society, wealth, and fame: "You need to be vigilant! You cannot let the evil make you more attached or let them seize your attachments and make you unable to extricate yourself."

We Should Not Gossip About Others' Shortcomings Behind Their Backs

2009-09-13

After practicing Falun Gong for more than 10 years, I still harbour one old bad habit, that is, gossiping about other practitioners' shortcomings behind their back. For example, this practitioner has the attachment of showing off, and another practitioner has the attachment of jealousy, struggling, or fear, etc. I am even excited when talking about such topics.

Beautiful Outward Appearance Belies Hidden Attachment

2009-09-13

In the past, others often praised me regarding some specific things, but now this comment went so far as to concern the fundamental things of a Dafa disciple. Is it because I have thought of myself too highly, or have I developed a too strong sense of self-satisfaction? I looked within and was shocked that I truly have such problem.

On the Issue of Getting Married

2009-09-12

Master did not say specifically in either Zhuan Falun nor in any of His lectures that Dafa disciples should not get married. He only emphasized that Dafa disciples should be strict with themselves and not engage in improper relationships.

Cultivating in Dafa Is Trusting Teacher and Believing the Fa

2009-09-12

In order to have more time to study the Fa, I sleep less. After sending forth righteous thoughts at 9 p.m. each night, I go to sleep and get up at 11:50 p.m. And after sending forth righteous thoughts at midnight, I study the Fa until early morning exercises. In so doing, I have more time in the day to clarify the truth and save people.

Study the Fa with a Calm Mind

2009-09-11

Later, Zhuan Falun also showed me the inner meanings of the Fa-rectification. This helped me understand another principle: Fa study is not just a ritual; we must truly calm our minds to study the Fa. We must study the Fa with all of our hearts to open the door to the Fa's inner meanings. Only then will we truly merge into the Fa.

Elevating Through Memorizing and Reciting the Fa

2009-09-11

With reciting the Fa continuously, my mind has become more and more empty, more and more pure, and has fewer and fewer distractions. When I recite Fa now, I have almost no distractions and can calm down immediately. The Fa also unfolds in front of me continuously. I melt myself into the Fa, assimilate to Dafa and elevate myself continuously! Thus, I do the three things better and better!

Your Cultivation State Determines Your Environment

2009-09-10

When I began to read Zhuan Falun again, I quickly found a job, and my daughter's attitude towards me suddenly changed. I began to see the relationship between my personal cultivation and the external environment. Especially after the following two events.

Get Rid of Attachments and Become Mature in Cultivation - Understandings of Master's Comment

2009-09-10

Of course, in the early days of the persecution in 1999, we were not mature, and it was a natural course of cultivation. But now Master has taught the Fa to us thoroughly, so we cannot stay in the same cultivation state as in 1999.

Two of My Family Members Overcame Their Illnesses Practicing Falun Dafa

2009-09-09

A person who once had his coffin prepared, waiting to die, is now able to do all kinds of chores, and looks much younger. Upon seeing the miraculous changes in my brother-in-law, my eldest sister, also came back to practice Falun Dafa.

Enduring Torture in Prison Does Not Raise One's Level, Following the Fa Is the Only Way

2009-09-09

Every practitioner has attachments. Can attachments be eliminated via verbal abuse or violence? Absolutely not. If a person fails to tell right from wrong and has to use coercion to have people submit to him, those people will not actually eliminate their attachments.

Finding the Original Reason for My Not Cultivating Speech

2009-09-09

My son continued, "Did you not repeat the Fa all the time during group studies? Didn't all the practitioners ask you questions? You acted as teacher for many years. Others like to listen to you. However, they gradually came to rely on you, which made you have some attachments to vanity and showing off. That's why you haven't cultivated speech well."

A Cultivator Has to Maintain a Good Cultivation State

2009-09-08

It's unavoidable to have some depressed times in our cultivation, such as physically not feeling well, or having no reasonable explanations for doubts or a depressed mood. However, at such moments, we should actively control our state instead of being controlled by "a bad cultivation state."

New Practitioner: Appreciation for Fellow Practitioners' Help in Gradually Understanding the Truth

2009-09-08

Sometimes I would steal a brief look when he was practicing the exercises. I felt that those movements looked very nice. My husband also asked me to watch the video "Travelling Between Heaven and Earth." Though I didn't watch it carefully, it touched me very much, and I was no longer against my husband's beliefs.

Validating the Fa with the Changes in Me

2009-09-07

After July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party started persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. People around me often asked me if I was still practicing. I always used my own personal experience to explain to them that Falun Dafa is good. Not only was I still practicing, but also spoke out about Falun Gong and the persecution.
