Efforts to Clarify the Truth Using Various Artistic Forms Must All Be Upright
2008-06-22Recently, some Falun Dafa practitioners have been writing romantic novels to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa. There have been many discussions on this issue. As I understand it, writing novels is just one of many different forms of art, and that the same Fa principles apply to writing novels as apply to the creation of all other forms of art. -
Becoming a Particle of Dafa with a Pure Heart to Rescue Sentient Beings
2008-06-21I walked further and saw a man in his fifties who was mis-diagnosed with lung cancer and underwent an operation to have part of his lungs removed. He said the court ruled that he receive only one thousand yuan in compensation, which he could not accept. I thus explained the facts to him. He said he had a friend who also practices Falun Gong. I told him to follow "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," to be a good person, and he will survive when calamity strikes, so there is no need to haggle over that kind of money. -
Turning Bad into Good by Transforming Notions
2008-06-21It shows the incredible power of our righteous thoughts in close proximity. I hope that all practitioners who are not imprisoned will deliver the thought to those imprisoned practitioners using their abilities, or inform them when they visit them in prison. Please tell them that they are comparable to Monkey King in the tummy of the wicked Princess of the Iron Fan, and that they are capable of completely eliminating the evil beings while in close proximity. -

Human Attachments Aren't Always Difficult to Eliminate
2008-06-20From this painful experience and from the many other cases of fellow practitioners suffering from cruel torture and losing their lives, I finally realized that we must have a sense of responsibility to the Fa, to fellow practitioners and to sentient beings at all times. By doing so, we will be able to walk steadily on our cultivation path, do the three things well and save sentient beings. -
Completely Negate All Tribulations Not Arranged by Master
2008-06-19Actually, at present, all serious "sickness karma"are evil tribulations. This is completely different from the "going through hardship and suffering" Master talked about. Of course, be it evil tribulation or "going through hardship and suffering," we all need to look inward, improve ourselves, and elevate our xinxing through the difficulties. The difference is that if it is indeed a tribulation arranged by the old forces, we need to completely negate their arrangement and end the persecution through our thoughts and actions. -
Prodigal Son Becomes a New Person After Practising Falun Dafa
2008-06-19After I learned Falun Dafa, I soon joined the group exercises and Fa study sessions. That period is a precious memory to me. It was during that time that most of my bad habits were cleaned out. I learned how to be a good person, and my family relationships became harmonious. My views on many things changed, and I decided not to give up on myself. -
Some Thoughts After Watching "The Loyalty of Yue Fei" by Divine Performing Arts
2008-06-18In today's world, as the moral standard has gone down rapidly, the global 2008 Chinese New Year Spectacular from New Tang Dynasty Television and the Divine Performing Arts group awakened the deep memory that people have of those good virtues like truthfulness, kindness, forbearance and simplemindedness. -
Understanding the Relationship Between Cultivating Oneself and Saving Sentient Beings
2008-06-18I'm a practitioner who has taken a detour from his cultivation path. I started practising Falun Gong in spring 1997, but stopped cultivating in 1999 because of the persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I stepped back on the cultivation path again on March 27, 2004. I had many attachments, spent very little time on studying the Fa, the exercises or sending forth righteous thoughts. -
Boldly Clarifying the Truth at the Police Station, the Police Subdivision and in the Community
2008-06-17t night, they changed guards. I told this new group of people about how the CCP is persecuting Falun Gong, and how corrupt the CCP is. They all agreed and even asked me questions about Falun Gong. They explained to me, "We have no choice but to watch you. If you leave, we will lose our jobs." I told them, "Our Teacher teaches us that whatever we do, we have to think about other people first... -
A Grand Harvest After the New York Fa Conference
2008-06-17This trip was totally fulfilling, and I learned incredible lessons. I also want to thank my wife for her support. Emotionally and rationally, I hope my family can join me and experience what I have experienced. Falun Dafa is more than just wonderful. We have the sacred mission to tell people about the wonders and facts of Falun Dafa. -
Cultivating Ourselves During Truth Clarification
2008-06-16Different environments will expose our different attachments. For example, when talking to strangers, we may feel embarrassed and unwilling to approach them, unsure of how to start the conversation, and think that they will refuse to listen to us. Some practitioners in China may fear being reported to the police and being arrested. These attachments will lead to another attachment of glossing over. -
Master, We Will Do a Good Job
2008-06-16also thought that I was more capable than my husband, hence I should have the right to order him around. That was actually jealousy. Deep in my heart, I felt unbalanced if he did better than I did; at the same time, I was content when he did not do it well and he felt frustrated and humiliated. One day, I suddenly realized that many kinds of attachments were even deeply hidden in my everyday life, and when I admitted they were my attachments, I could feel that my microscopic world shook slightly. -
The Power of Concentration and Tranquility
2008-06-15Concentration is a specific state of tranquility. Concentration can manifest in many ways, including doing well the three things; being tranquil while studying the Fa; being able to conquer any interference, such as sleepiness; being able to assimilate to the Fa; being able to cleanse one's own dimensions before sending forth righteous thoughts; and having a strong main consciousness with strong, correct thoughts, and a strong energy field. -
Clarifying the Truth at Columbia University
2008-06-15In early September 2007, the old Columbia University CSSA website was completely shuttered and a new CUCSSA website was put up which had no slanderous material. On the surface, the reason was that the CUCSSA had a yearly election and replaced its board members, but we know that it was practitioners' tireless efforts in clarifying the truth, directly and face-to-face, that completely turned the situation around.
