On Not Falling into a Low-Level Way of Thinking
2009-11-10If each one of our thoughts are on the Fa, we will have very righteous thoughts, the thoughts of a divine being, namely, a high-level way of thinking; if we are not in the Fa, our thoughts will be on a human level-- notions, and attachments, namely, a low-level way of thinking. -
A New Practitioner's First Experience Introducing Falun Dafa
2009-11-10I was reluctant to participate in projects that validate the Fa. Actually, it was because I had fear and an attachment to comfort.

Buddha Stories: Don’t Judge a Person by His Appearance
2009-11-09“You should not have thoughts of contempt towards that monk. Why? Because he has already eliminated all kinds of attachments, with nothing left....

Reflections on Life: Good Fortune is Born From Thrift, Virtue is Born From Humbleness
2009-11-09Virtue is born from humbleness. Being overbearing and speaking rudely will cause one to lose virtue to others for sure.

Let's Not Forget to Cultivate Xinxing at Home
2009-11-08Husbands and wives are both practitioners, but treat one another with attitudes worse than with ordinary people.

Understandings in Cultivation: Letting Go of the Attachment of Selfishness
2009-11-08Therefore, I think that on the path toward godhood, regardless of what we do, we have to completely let go of selfishness and human notions. Only when completely assimilated to Dafa can we save sentient beings to the maximum extent and not let down Teacher's compassionate salvation. Only in this way can we fulfil our sacred, prehistoric vows. -

2009-11-07Gradually my father and my children had righteous thoughts and no longer opposed me.

Turning a Bad Thing Into a Good Thing
2009-11-06My husband also clarified truth to the officials in his work unit and the effect was good. The situation created by the CCP seemed to be a bad thing.

Do We Know How to Put the Fa Principles into Practice?
2009-11-05Studying the Fa is for understanding the Fa. And thus we can apply our understanding of the Fa to solve all things we encounter and solve all confusion in our thoughts.
