Witnessing the Power of Righteous Thoughts

2008-05-29

At that time I had been practicing Falun Gong for less than a year and was a bit afraid of what my mother said. So I went to a fellow practitioner's home to ask her what she thought about this. She peacefully said, "Why are you afraid? Don't you have Teacher looking after you? How is it possible that an everyday person can do anything to you?" What she said woke me up immediately.

Able to Walk 70 Days after a Paralysing Fall

2008-05-28

I know a very diligent practitioner. She's about 70 years old. At the end of 2007, I heard that she was paralysed in a fall and was bedridden. I was quite concerned and felt sorry for her, but I had not gotten a chance to visit her. Walking down the street the other day, I met her. Her fine face was peaceful and relaxed, with a hint of a smile. Not only did the tribulation not defeat her, it made her stronger and more persevering, and younger looking, too.

Breaking One's Promise is not a Minor Matter

2008-05-27

We cultivate "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." We should follow the principle of "Truthfulness" in the corresponding dimensions and not make false statements; follow the principle of "Compassion" and always think of others and consider overall situations; follow the principle of "Forbearance" and eliminate the attachment to selfishness.

Some Thoughts about Our Appearance

2008-05-26

Due to the persecution directive to "bankrupt them financially," the financial conditions of many practitioners are very difficult. They may not have money to purchase a dress or suit. Nonetheless, in such difficulties, they still strive to save money in order to validate Dafa. When I thought about this, my feeling of respect and sympathy for them often prevented me from sharing my thoughts about appearances. However, our manners, behaviour, and appearance sometimes directly affect the results of our work.

A Special Day That Turned My Life Around (Part II)

2008-05-25

It has been nine years since the April 25th appeal in 1999. Practitioners have clarified the truth, exposed the persecution, distributed the Nine Commentaries, helped people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organisations, and organised the world tour of the Spectacular shows. Everything they do is to let people know about "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." For nine years, many people have endured cruel torture and difficulties to hold onto these principles.

A Special Day That Turned My Life Around (Part I)

2008-05-23

Ms. Wu Yanxia is a Falun Gong practitioner. Born into a family that boasted of a Chinese Communist Party "martyr," Yanxia joined the CCP in the rural area of Tianjin City at age 18. The CCP once considered her one of their key potential successors. However, the "April 25th event," when more than ten thousand practitioners went to Beijing to peacefully appeal on behalf of Falun Gong, shook her to the core and led her to re-examine herself and to change her outlook on life.

A Practitioner Discusses Her Experiences and Understanding Related to Searching Inside

2008-05-19

Being a cultivator, I know that nothing is accidental and everything has a reason. However, some of us only remember this when it directly affects our personal interests. It proves that we still understand the Fa on a surface level. For example, if a cultivator has strong righteous thoughts, bad influences will not penetrate into his field. He will not be able to see or be touched by them. If he can see or hear or even feel them, it means that he has got some loopholes, which also means that it is time that he looks inside himself.

The Joy of Returning

2008-05-16

As the Fa-rectification progresses, Falun Gong practitioners are expected to create as many truth-clarification material sites as flowers blooming on a spring prairie. I decided to become one of the blooming flowers as well. With the help of a fellow practitioner, I turned my home into a truth-clarification material site.

Some Thoughts On Widely Promoting the Divine Performing Arts Show

2008-05-16

As long as we put our hearts into it and are considerate of ordinary people's individuality, we will always make breakthroughs. Everything in this world can be utilized by practitioners to fulfill our missions of saving sentient beings.

There Is No Danger When We Firmly Believe in Teacher

2008-05-15

I wanted to post the truth-clarification posters at the police station to disintegrate the evil there. When I went to the police station, there were people talking in the guard office and someone walking in other rooms, but the entrance was open. I said to myself, "Teacher is next to me, no one can see me." I went inside and put truth-clarification phrases on the wall and posted stickers. I then returned home safely.

Underestimating Our Abilities Indicates a Lack of Faith in Dafa

2008-05-15

How can we dissolve our human notions while strengthening our divine thoughts? We must listen to Teacher and study the Fa more. Whenever we encounter tribulations, divine thoughts will be expressed, which will enable us to resolve our issues. When we are able to do so, there will be no more persecution.

Only Divine Thoughts Can Save People, Human Thoughts Cannot

2008-05-14

This is just like Teacher said, "When you always think that you've got health problems, you might just give yourself health problems..." Why did this happen? "That's because your character has dropped to the level of an ordinary person." In other words, I was just an ordinary person at that time. An ordinary person cannot save another ordinary person. In that state, I certainly could not save the Party secretary.

Getting Rid of the Attachment to "Validating Oneself"

2008-05-13

I misunderstood the meaning of what Teacher defined as a "good person" and thought that I appropriately fought to protect the "truth." Subsequently, I was not tolerant, lacked good self-control, and demonstrated even less compassion. This issue has caused some problems concerning my relationships with others.

On Being "Busy"

2008-05-13

If we always choose the Fa first, then the use of the word "busy" becomes different. If we consider validating the teachings of Falun Dafa and saving sentient beings as more important than any other things, then our hearts are selfless. This attitude raises our xinxing (character) level, and it brings us into a process of giving up our human attachments.
