Attachment to Comfort is a Tribulation for Dafa Cultivators

2009-11-17

I feel that if one cannot practice the exercises in the morning, then this couldn't be a reflection of diligent cultivation. I have deeply realized that when I could not persist in practicing the exercises every morning, my cultivation state would become worse and worse.

On Getting Angry

2009-11-17

He has treated me this way, but how have I treated him or others in a previous life? Therefore, I must pay attention to my words and deeds. I suffered, but I endured it.

Attachment to Comfort Can Ruin Practitioners

2009-11-16

As I understand it, the pursuit of comfort and ease is a deviated notion. It exists in your own dimension, in your mind, understanding, and notions, and in your everyday living habits. It is like a shadow that exists everywhere. On the surface it seems so normal and does not draw any attention. But actually it is the worst one.

Enlightening to the Fa: Think Calmly

2009-11-16

I don’t think one needs to wait until the great disclosure of the truth. Even now, when one understands what true cultivation is, one should be ashamed about their bad behaviour and words. If these days anyone says he cultivates very well, he must not understand what true cultivation is.

Rectifying Our Thoughts and Actions

2009-11-15

Several days before I realized this, I received phone calls from a stranger asking me for a date. Didn't my human attachments lure these demons? Actually, as genuine practitioners, we should dress neat and elegantly, making people feel that we are respectable, not desirable. We will shine wherever we go, because real gold always shines.

Buckets of Water Equal to Buckets of Kindness

2009-11-14

He asked him, "Uncle (a common Chinese term of respect used for one's elders), do you have any water available in your house?" The man shook his head with a wry smile. Just then the practitioner remembered what Teacher has told us:"With everything you should think of others--first think about others, and then think about yourself. " (Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia) So, he carried the buckets of water and poured them into the couple's water tank.

Taking a Closer Look at Unmarried Couples in Long-Term Relationships

2009-11-13

The modern variation on this concept arrises from the idea of the freedom to choose who you love and the freedom to have a relationship between an unmarried man and woman; this idea promotes today's moral decline and sexual freedom. The desire to marry is normal for a cultivator in ordinary human society but its occurrence must follow the traditional righteous way.

Do the Three Things Well Wholeheartedly

2009-11-12

Truth clarification is very important, but the premise is to study the Fa well. Otherwise, the effect of truth clarification will not be good. Sometimes my emotions surface or I am exhausted from doing other things, thus I would not have the motivation to clarify the truth. After studying the Fa however, I become clearheaded again.

On Studying the Fa Well

2009-11-11

Studying the Fa well doesn't depend on how long you study, but that your mind is calm. You are assimilating to the Fa if you truly absorb the Fa. Meanwhile, the Fa will cultivate you.
