It is Time to Dig Out the Root

2009-09-20

Why do I have such a hard time getting rid of so many human notions? It is because my base is among humans. I still pursue fame, profit and affection. Even though I am cultivating and getting rid of attachments, I only solved the problem at surface, not at its source.

Feel the Power of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance

2009-09-19

Compassion is an enlightened being's nature. Therefore, practitioners should cultivate compassion. When we encounter issues, we should utilize this compassion to resolve the conflict. We should treat sentient beings compassionately, no matter whether they are kind or evil.

Playing Internet Games Stimulates Attachments and Steers One Off Course

2009-09-19

At work my attachment to personal interest was reinforced. My jealousy of co-workers who had a good performance record grew stronger and stronger. From time to time I felt resentful of not getting what I had worked for. I still didn't realize that computer games had stimulated my deep-hidden attachments to personal gain, and that my jealousy, zealotry and competitive mentality had come along.

New Practitioner: Dafa Made Me a Productive Person

2009-09-18

When these folks want to thank me, I always tell them that they don't need to thank me, and that I offer help because I practice Falun Gong. Before becoming a Falun Gong practitioner, I did not have such a compassionate heart. Even if I did think about offering help, I would not have had the strength to follow through.

My Path of Cultivation

2009-09-18

On that paper was written the lyrics: "If you cannot see celestial beings in heaven, then do see the spectacle on the ground? Come to visit Pingtang County, 'Heaven will soon eliminate the CCP' is just in front of your eyes." He stared at it for a while and didn't say anything.

Let Go of the Mentality of "Looking Down on Others"

2009-09-17

The mentality of looking down on others subconsciously is manifested in different ways. For example, I like to point out this and that about the way people do things instead of looking at it from the perspective of the Fa. I am not considerate of others, nor do I put myself in other people's shoes.

The Way to Be Safe Is to Firmly Adhere to Dafa

2009-09-17

During those several days, all the leaders of Armed Forces Department, local police, street committee, leaders of our courtyard and my work place, came to my home to exert pressure on me to give up my belief. Even my husband's boss stopped by.

Delivering the True Facts About Falun Gong to a Mountain Community

2009-09-16

We said we were going to some relatives' to save people. They asked what we meant by saving people, so we told them that withdrawing the Chinese Communist Party's organizations could save people. They were kind enough to give us directions and said, "We don't want to delay your work of saving people."

Following the Standards of the Fa in Conducting Business

2009-09-16

I later realized that I was not solid enough in my understanding of the Fa and also had some attachment of pursuing benefits. There are no role models in cultivation. Our Teacher told us to take the Fa as our guide. Why should I look at what others do at a critical moment? I even tried to find excuses to cover up my attachment.

An Understanding of Compassion

2009-09-15

He has overcome the attachments to fame, fortune and emotion. During the Fa-rectification period he has done more than many younger practitioners. He often says, "The greatest personal matter is a small matter. The smallest matter in saving a sentient being is a great matter." He has been conducting himself this way for years and has been doing the three things well.

No Exceptions on the Path of Cultivation

2009-09-15

"Compassion comes from a person's cultivation, and it's not something that's acted out; it comes from deep inside, and it's not something done to show others. It's something that exists eternally, and it doesn't change with the passage of time or changes in circumstances." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Washington DC Fa Conference")

Earnestly Studying the Fa

2009-09-14

During Fa study and cultivation, practitioners should change their ordinary people's thoughts and reference the Fa to correct every thought. If a thought is not in keeping with the Fa, just get rid of it right away. This is the process of upgrading oneself in cultivation. I found that many of the thoughts and questions in my mind were a result of human notions and attachments.

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.
