Steadfastly Maintaining Righteous Thoughts and Actions While Imprisoned
2008-08-17From this incident, I realized this was Master's compassionate arrangement giving him one more chance to mend his ways. So I used this opportunity to clarify the truth to the prison directors and got an unexpected good result. When I was clarifying the truth to those directors and guards, some of them even had tears in their eyes -
The Mighty Power of Righteous Thoughts Helps Me Overcome Tribulations
2008-08-17To the disciples who are being imprisoned and constrained, hurry and use righteous thoughts to rid yourselves of the shackles, return to and assist Master in the tide of Fa-rectification. Time is pressing, so don't hesitate. Use a Dafa disciple's righteous thoughts to strengthen fellow practitioners in the forced labour camps or jails." I looked at the clock. It was 12:40 p.m. I had sent forth righteous thoughts for 45 minutes. The pain had disappeared, though I didn't even notice when. -
To Practitioners Outside China Whom I Have Never Met
2008-08-16Falun Gong practitioners outside China may not be living in the same cruel and adverse environment as in China, but you have given up your comfortable life in a stimulating and free world and let go of fame, self-interest and sentimentality among ordinary people, remaining steadfast for the sake of ending the persecution of Falun Gong and saving sentient beings. This is most precious. -
Walk the Final Path of Fa Rectification Well
2008-08-16In order to do it well, we must study the Fa well. Fa study is the foundation for eliminating all attachments and establishing firm righteous thoughts. Fa is the foundation for every Dafa disciple. No matter how busy we are, we cannot ignore Fa study. Even if we only have a little time, even if we can only read a small paragraph, it is better to do intently than to read the entire book with an absent mind -
My Thoughts on Cultivation Regarding Eutelsat Cutting Off NTDTV Broadcasts into China
2008-08-15This time [during the 2008 New York Fa Conference in May], Master has made the Fa very clear. But why have we still failed to take the Fa as our guide? Why are we still unable to read or memorize the Fa often and use the Fa to defeat the evils' plots? We have instead become more intimidated by the evil, and have even almost lost the environment that Dafa practitioners have come by through making sacrifices and enduring hardships. -
Reflections on the Eutelsat Incident
2008-08-15I feel that the main problem with overseas Dafa practitioners is a lack of sufficient truth-clarification efforts, and not thinking over the situation cohesively. They did not put much value on clarifying the truth to Eutelsat, the American Government, different levels of government agencies and some large companies. The same situation occurred in dealing with other countries. They did not think of clarifying the truth until problems occurred, and then they complained about those in the ordinary society being wrong. -
Sharing on Giving Up Attachments After Being Attacked
2008-08-14I also wondered why the person who was hit didn't fight back. I felt injustice but at the same time, I knew to ask myself whether I could follow this same noble principle if it had happened to me. My self-doubt allowed my thinking to become more entrenched, and I believed that because I had not experienced such a test, I could not have passed the test. Doubts about my own xinxing grew from there. -
Reminding Fellow Practitioners Not to Neglect Doing the Exercises
2008-08-14Studying the Fa and cultivating oneself is most important, but we should not neglect exercise either. Because we have the sacred mission of assisting Teacher to rectify the Fa, we need to use our physical body to validate the Fa and save sentient beings. Sometimes I felt that I was very busy and had no time to do the exercises. But was this really the case? Looking back, it was an excuse to not do the exercises. I claimed to be busy to cover up my pursuit of comfort and ease. In essence, I still have a gap and am not diligent enough. -
The Danger of Having Attachments to Everyday Things and Setting Aside Dafa Work
2008-08-12Then I saw a lot of Dafa disciples in the images of Gods, Buddhas, or Taos rising up from the ground. I was very excited. But I also saw some painful scenes: some Dafa practitioners, many of whom I had known, who had not done the "three things," were waving in tears and saying goodbye to those practitioners who flew away. -
Only By Renouncing the Old Forces Can We Emerge from the Persecution
2008-08-12Some other practitioners took down their dishes voluntarily after hearing about this incident. However, some other practitioners at several villages had very strong righteous thoughts. They said, "Since this is not arranged by Teacher, why should we believe in it?" They shared among themselves, completely rejected the old forces in their minds, and kept sending forth righteous thoughts. The police never went to their villages! -
Clarifying the Facts Via Western Radio Station Broadcasts in China
2008-08-11I suggest that additional capable practitioners take part in using Western radio stations for truth clarification. There are people of different ages and walks of life who are accustomed to listening to foreign radio stations. Since the persecution began on July 20, 1999, some practitioners have been clarifying the facts over popular foreign radio stations. Due to the limited amount of time they have available to participate and the insufficient number of practitioners taking part, the results could be even better. -
A Wider and Better Path Ahead for Righteous Fa Cultivation
2008-08-11Teacher said clearly "have no fear" instead of "not afraid"! I was attached to the political examination that had not even happened yet. It seemed that I was very righteous, but actually it was the same mistake that was made several years ago when fellow practitioners cooperated with the arrests. What is saving sentient beings about? It is the most effective way to save sentient beings when my colleagues witness that I am safe while I clarify the truth openly. I should protect those colleagues who already quit the CCP. -
Cultivating in an Environment Created by Group Fa-Study
2008-08-10We wanted to bring back those practitioners who had given up. Thus, some practitioners took great pains to talk to these people and gave them new articles and lectures by Teacher, even in the face of scolding from their families and misunderstandings from fellow practitioners. As a result, more and more people joined group Fa-study. We now have several multiples of the original number of practitioners in our group study. -
Take the Lead Role
2008-08-10Upon seeing this line I immediately decided not to leave home. I then reflected on why I had the idea that I should move. I found that I had attachments to time, comfort, lust, hatred, competitiveness, and affection for my family. Also, I had missed worldwide SFRT (sending forth righteous thoughts) and group practice several times. -
Lessons Learned from an Attachment to my Physical Condition
2008-08-09A genuine cultivator should not have illness. So my condition must have been caused by an evil attack. What should I do? Some practitioners suggested that I should send forth righteous thoughts and deny the persecution of the old forces. But after I have done that, what do I do if the old forces come back to persecute me again? I still had to look inside myself for problems. I needed to fix the root cause.
