Cultivation Practice Is Serious
2009-06-24I realized that practitioners who haven't done well in the past should reflect on themselves and fully understand that cultivation in Dafa is serious. They should realize the great importance of this problem and review the paths that they have taken with all due seriousness. If they have done something wrong, they should correct themselves quickly. -
Studying the Fa and Raising Xinxing - The Only Way to Pass Tribulations
2009-06-23When I studied the Fa well and kept cultivating myself, the interference gradually disappeared. My mind could not be interfered with anymore. The environment was also changing. I started to actively clarify the truth and do work to save sentient beings. I helped fellow practitioners to pass through sickness tribulations and saved detained practitioners -
Looking Within Is Essential to Eliminating Gaps Among Practitioners
2009-06-23Regardless of what kind of shortcoming a practitioner has or whether one wants to change it or not, we should still work well with them. We don't look down on them, complain or point fingers at them, or feel unfairly treated. -
Solving Family Issues Mercifully
2009-06-22If I refused to listen to them, they would get very angry. I never lost my temper, no matter how much I felt wronged. I always endured them. Whenever opportunities arose, I would tell them how glorious and sacred Dafa is, Dafa's broad and profound content and the meaning of cultivation practice. Gradually, they stopped interfering with my Dafa practice, but they would still keep a close watch on me. -
Genuine Cultivation Versus Gaining Merit
2009-06-22Subconsciously I thought, "I have done so much for so long. And I have been persistent when doing things, surely Master will let me reach Consummation." Then when Master said, "If you fail to improve and achieve Consummation, where will the sentient beings that you save go?"("Fa Teaching at the 2008 New York Conference"), I started to realize that there was something wrong. -
Comments on the Expression of Lust
2009-06-21A person is like a container, and he is whatever he contains. All of what a person sees with the eyes and hears with the ears are: violence, lust, power struggles in literary works, struggles for profit in the practical world, money worship, other manifestations of demon-nature, and so on. -
Attain the Righteous Enlightenment of Selflessness and Altruism
2009-06-21. We can't just say or do anything at will. Instead, we should communicate with others based on their acceptance and think about how they could learn the truth and be saved. Only by looking within can we get rid of our omissions. Such is true cultivation that can lead to great compassion and help remove all the barriers among practitioners. -
Shen Yun Performance Inspires "Old Sheikh" to Learn Falun Dafa
2009-06-20Old Sheikh and I conversed for some time while walking to my house. I invited him into my home and as soon as he came inside, he said seriously, "Falun Dafa is so good, I am going to learn it. Do you have books or materials for me to read?" After he watched Shen Yun, he praised Dafa and started practicing Falun Gong. -
Respect the Boundaries between Men and Women
2009-06-20It was because I was careless and my actions were thoughtless that I did not respect the boundaries between my male colleagues and myself when talking and joking with them. I was flattering myself and thinking that I did not have an attachment to lust. I did not pay attention to the fact that we should distinguish between males and females. -
Sentient Beings Are Waiting to Be Saved
2009-06-19Another time, while I was handing out informational material at an outdoor food market, an owner from one of the food stands noticed that he did not get one. He shouted, " Hey! Hurry, give me a copy too. I really enjoy reading Falun Dafa's information!" A young fellow heard that and asked me, "What are you handing out? Could I get one?" -
My Experience in Applying for Asylum
2009-06-19At the hearing, the judge had many letters in his hand and received many emails from practitioners around the world, including France, the U.S., and Taiwan. I was very moved, though I did not know any of those practitioners. We did what we needed to do. -
Thoughts after Learning that Fellow Practitioners Were Illegally Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison
2009-06-18Those practitioners validated the Fa by themselves instead of depending on attorneys or other ordinary people. The practitioners outside used the rescue process as an opportunity to improve from the Fa while saving ordinary people. Meanwhile, the practitioners who were being persecuted improved themselves as well. -
Thougths on the Article "Can We Face the Persecution with a Smile, No Matter the Circumstances?"
2009-06-18If our righteous thoughts don't achieve the expected result in regards to the persecution, we should look inward based on what Teacher said: are our righteous thoughts strong? do we have any fear or attachment? do we have apprehension or hatred? Then we should adjust our xinxing (character) if we are falling short. -
Purpose of Memorizing the Fa
2009-06-17Only when our minds are pure enough, and we have met the standards of the Fa at higher levels, will the deeper meanings of the Fa be revealed. Therefore, we will not obtain the Fa at high levels if our minds are not pure, regardless if we have memorized all the words. -
Saving Sentient Beings with Compassion
2009-06-17During the process of clarifying the truth, we should pay attention to cultivating ourselves. We will then be able to eliminate many attachments, fear, show-off mentality, oversensitivity, suspiciousness, lust, etc. When we do well in cultivation, it becomes easier to do truth clarification. We may see twice the results with half the effort.
