A Few of My Truth Clarification Experiences
2008-08-02I have met people who don't understand what I'm talking about and simply laugh. They say, "Young people like you also believe in this?" Some people have refused to talk with me and some have reprimanded me. I refuse to let them move me. Instead I send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the communist evil spectre and other evil factors behind them. -
Thoughts on Seeking "Inside Information"
2008-08-01At those times when the evils are gathering together to persecute practitioners, it's a good opportunity for us to clean them all out. Teacher provides us with opportunities to establish our mighty virtue and we should treasure them. Miracles can happen when we firmly believe in Teacher and the Fa and use Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts to handle all things. -
Righteous Thoughts Led Me Out of the Detention Center
2008-08-01While sending forth righteous thoughts, I thought of eradicating all the demonic beings, demons, and dark minions, cleaning out the old forces' elements, and denying any pact with the old forces. At the same time, I called out to Master: "Your disciple is asking you, 'Help me out of here so I can fulfil the vows I have made in a prehistoric time and save sentient beings.'" -
A Young Practitioner's Account of an Extraordinary Experience While Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
2008-07-31Then a red faced general came towards me. I saw that he looked honest and reliable, thus I gave him my command seal to clean up the mess. After he took the command seal he looked at me with a guilty conscience and walked away quickly. I suddenly felt that he looked strange and thus I dragged him back and asked him what was wrong. He was so frightened that the did not say anything and his red face expanded and turned purple. I knew that it was evil and thus I put it inside the bottle too. -
Exchanging Views with Fellow Practitioners on the Issue of Donations to Earthquake Disaster Areas
2008-07-31Regarding the fact that the village leaders were moved by the practitioner's initiative in donating the money, even though they expressed their wish to protect the practitioners, they were simply grateful for the practitioner who helped them to fulfil the task given by the CCP. They did not really understand that when the money went to the CCP departments it would be used to crack down on dissidents. They might not know that the CCP has always acted with utter disregard for human life. -
Overcoming Poverty to Establish a Falun Gong Materials Production Site
2008-07-30As I continue studying and memorizing the Fa, I keep thinking of new ways to save sentient beings and persevere in executing these ideas. The evil beings can do nothing about me. After a while, I received money for the materials site. My company then increased my salary by 700 yuan. When I received the next pay check I was in tears. I knew Teacher had been watching over me and knew the increased salary was meant to fund the site. -
Leave All People and Things with Compassion at All Times
2008-07-30Nowadays, there are all kinds of people on the streets: beautiful ladies, handsome men, homely ones, pretty ones, and beggars. What kinds of thoughts do we think about them? Are they compassionate? If the thoughts are bad, they have a negative effect, because a thought of ours is a substance that has energy. At the same time, we'd lose virtue (de). Also, our bad thoughts, which are alive, can have an impact toward developing viciousness in the person--it'd be just the same as pushing the person closer to hell. -
Have We Found Joy in Hardship?
2008-07-29In the Fa-rectification period, Teacher will help us with everything as long as we have steadfast faith in the Fa. I have faced many tribulations, but Teacher has helped me pass all of them. When I wished to clarify the truth to people in order to save them, Teacher made arrangements. When I ran into trouble due to my attachments, Teacher helped me overcome the trouble once I detected my attachments and rectified my mentality. As a result, those difficulties didn't cost me any tangible losses. -
When Will We Truly Become Divine Beings?
2008-07-29When we come across a problem, be it of human or divine nature, we are required to look within. To resolve the issue at hand is critical and it is the dividing line between a human and a divine being. At present some practitioners are taking a passive attitude and try to hide from the seemingly rampant persecution. They use human notions to look at the situation and a human method to achieve temporary security. -
The Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions of an Elderly Practitioner
2008-07-28At the brainwashing centre, the staff said to her angrily, "What the hell are you doing here?" The practitioner kept her composure and said to the staff clearly, "I am here to distribute flyers. Falun Dafa is good!" Then she took out the two flyers left in her handbag and gave them to the staff saying "These are the only two flyers I have left, please take a look!" The staff turned to the police and said, "Take her back home!" Without saying anything, the police immediately drove the practitioner home. -
Joining Family Visits to Detained Practitioners to Send Forth Righteous Thoughts
2008-07-28Sending forth righteous thoughts at close range to the evil's den can eliminate the evil beings and factors on a large scale, alleviate the suffering of detained practitioners, and at the same time win over the understanding and support from the detained practitioners' families. I hope practitioners from other regions can participate when conditions permit. -
About Self-Pride
2008-07-27Even for non-practitioners, too much self-pride is a bad thing. Excessive self-pride is often seen when dealing with adversity, with the person not having a good mental attitude in adverse situations, and being unable to face these situations with a calm mind. They consider life unfair, and in order to protect themselves from the fear of being looked down upon, they lock themselves up in a shell. -
A Practitioner's Personal Experience in Flushing, New York
2008-07-27"One man from China in his forties came over when there was media interview. He said, 'I want to speak out. I always stand with Falun Gong practitioners because I know they are right and do right thing. If CCP thugs and Chinese consulate have anything to say, they can speak out in public. Why do they attack people? Such despicable action is bad for all Chinese immigrants. Many people thought we are like that. I speak here and am not afraid of you thugs. I speak fair words.'" -
The Purpose of Clarifying the Truth
2008-07-26I also had improper behaviour: When someone misunderstood Dafa, I would be very upset, since I have difficulty when people do not easily understand me or believe me. I become impetuous and raise my voice. When somebody pointed this out to me, I took it as normal, and in line with the standards of everyday people. Who can keep calm when persecuted so severely? I also complained that people refused to come to their senses. -
Looking Within and Harmonizing With the One Body
2008-07-26After I went abroad to study, I tried to contact the local practitioners in the area, hoping to join them. At the very beginning, the practitioners did not know me. In addition, I was not diligent in my cultivation, so sometimes I was regarded with suspicion, which was a big blow to me. In the past, I was so glad to meet fellow practitioners, but later I was very sad. My attachment of fear became more obvious. I wanted to explain my situation to these practitioners, but I was afraid that I would not be able to explain it very clearly, so I made the situation worse.
