The Attachments Hidden in My Ordinary People's Habits

2009-08-30

Now I have found that my "being serious about things" is, in fact, a stubborn attachment of mine. What is hidden inside this attachment is my pursuit of a good reputation--I want others to say that I am very fair, dare to admit mistakes, and am truthful.

It Is Time to Follow a Higher Standard

2009-08-30

From my understanding practitioners working in teams should think about the other person at all times. This will help us give up all of our notions and attachments, including attachments of liking, disliking, distrusting, etc., and reach the standard required to fulfil our vows and reach consummation.

Eliminating the Notions I Formed in My Career as a Teacher

2009-08-29

I continued to search within and realized that my heart was not compassionate enough, so how could I possibly be tolerant of others. This is selfishness. As practitioners we have to eliminate selfishness, and completely free ourselves of various concepts that we formed in the old universe. We have to become particles of Dafa that becomes particles of the new universe.

Money and Informational Material Sites

2009-08-29

People of today perceive money as a very important thing, and are willing to do anything for it, whereas Dafa practitioners, don't view it the same way. Even though money is also important to us, we don't make it for ourselves--we use it for saving the world's people.

My View of Righteous Understanding

2009-08-28

I now understand that regardless of what problems appear, I must look inward and find out what changes I should make. This is the way to remove my attachments and advance rationally. To advance rationally and move up in levels of enlightenment does not depend on appearance or human judgment.

Looking Within Myself

2009-08-28

Fellow practitioner A's behaviour gave me the impression of harbouring a strong attachment to selfishness. Why would a veteran practitioner who has been cultivating for many years, who is mature and rational, behave like this in front of me? I realized that I had a strong attachment to myself and wouldn't let others point out my shortcomings.

Falun Gong Gave Me a Second Life

2009-08-27

In the past, I had severe hair loss because of chemotherapy. Lots of hair fell out whenever I combed my hair. Less than seven months after I started to practice, the hair loss stopped. New hair started to grow, and it became very dense. My hair went back to normal.

Eliminate the Attachment to Comfort

2009-08-27

Yet we are cultivators, not everyday people. Master told us in Zhuan Falun, "To tell you the truth, the entire cultivation process for a practitioner is one of constantly giving up human attachments." Craving for "enjoyment," "comfort," and "cozyness" are attachments that we need to get rid of. Otherwise, they become hindrances on our cultivation path.

When One Practitioner is the Employer and Another the Employee

2009-08-26

When we over-emphasize ourselves, even in a deeply hidden way, there is bound to be a strong "ego" sitting out there behind us. As practitioners we need to cultivate our hearts, that is, to sincerely look within and find those human attachments that are being exposed in the conflicts and let go of them.

How to Pass the Test of Life and Death

2009-08-26

For example, Master has the requirement for us that "I have often said that as a person cultivating in a righteous Fa, the first thing you must achieve is to not fight back when being punched or insulted." (Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia). However, some practitioners still cannot meet the requirement. Some are able to make it on the surface, but they cannot let it go in their hearts.

Cultivating Diligently

2009-08-25

I hand-copied Zhuan Falun three times and the other lectures once. Since 2008, I have been memorizing the Fa. The book took four months to recite. Once I recited the Fa, I had a much greater understanding. But when I started reciting the Fa the second time, I was not able to continue after repeating just two or three paragraphs. What was the interference? I looked inside but I still could not find what it might be.

Letting Go and Cooperating

2009-08-25

During this rescue effort, although practitioners were attached to relying on ordinary people, we later all realized it and eliminated the attachment. We completely believed in Teacher and the Fa, improved from studying the Fa and realized that the best way to rescue practitioners is to clarifying the truth.

Realizing My Attachments Through Quietly Listening to Others Share at Group Fa Study

2009-08-24

I realize that only if I place myself below others and modestly look inwards to search for my flaws can I make progress. Only by doing this can I say that I am solidly cultivating; that I am walking on the path we are supposed to; and that I am doing things we ought to.

On Eliminating the Incorrect Cultivation States of Seeking Comfort and Being Relaxed and Indifferent

2009-08-24

Since we already knew the root causes behind the incorrect cultivation states, why didn't we eliminate them? Thus, I sent forth a righteous thought to decimate all the rotten substances and evil elements around me which created these bad cultivation states. As soon as I sent forth the righteous thought, I suddenly felt that a shell around me was disintegrated.

Being Responsible to the Entire Group of Practitioners

2009-08-22

If we only hold on to our own understanding and refuse to let go of our own way of doing things, everything will become increasingly more difficult. On the other hand, once we let go of the human heart, let go of self, open our hearts and look at everything from the perspective of the entire group, the problem may disappear and the situation may change.
