Looking at Issues from the Viewpoint of the Principles Taught in Falun Gong

2006-06-30

Some practitioners thought that their attachments to the different political parties or groups come from the influences of the news media such as the television and newspaper, etc. They thus plan to stop watching TV and reading newspapers. In this way, they have not fundamentally improved their understandings. We remove attachments so as to better save sentient beings

Her mother uses those opportunities to introduce Falun Gong to them.

A Brief Talk About "Separations and Barriers"

2006-06-28

So could it be possible that Falun Dafa practitioners, because of our cultivation inadequacies, have caused the formation of some barriers among practitioners, which then become a kind of hindrance to the Fa-rectification? I then realised that in the past when the practitioners were separated by regions, the elements of such barriers could have been created, and in the present when the practitioners participate in different Falun Dafa projects and work in different teams, such barriers also exist.

Embodying Falun Dafa in Any Environment

2006-06-26

A fellow practitioner, rushed to Bodo. She had contacted a reporter of the Nordland Daily, the most important newspaper in Norway. That afternoon the reporter actually came and interviewed us for three hours. The next morning, two whole front pages of the newspaper carried news that Falun Gong was being brutally persecuted in China. It had a such impact that before holding the news conference, when we were walking on the street of Bodo, some Norwegians gave us thumbs-up saying: "I know you! I have read the news! Hold the line!"

Limited by Human Notions

2006-06-26

The rhythm of the drumbeats seemed to brighten me up and so I asked if I could join the drum team. To my disappointment, the team instructor said that all positions were filled. Suddenly, I felt as if I had lost something from my life. I regretted my hesitating in the first place, missing this opportunity. I didn't believe I had the ability until I saw them practise. Now I have missed an opportunity, which in turn made me somewhat miserable.

Correctly Viewing the Relationship Between Eliminating Attachments and "Whether to Watch TV and Read Newspapers"

2006-06-25

Recently, during some cultivation experience sharing with other Falun Gong practitioners, we discussed about the environment of the human society being a big dye vat and that all what we see and hear are tests for cultivators. Thus, in order to eliminate the attachment to political parties through cultivation, some practitioners suggested that we simply do not watch TV or read newspapers.

The Source of True Happiness

2006-06-24

One time I was so drunk that I did not know I had fallen into some water. Luckily a passersby saw me and dragged me out of the water. Some people even had a bet with me that if I would quit drinking wine then they would quit eating food. I never tolerated anything and no one dared to offend me. I would even go to court for a trivial matter. I lived to compete and had illnesses all over my body. I could not focus on my job and I was penniless. I could not even turn over in bed as I suffered from severe stomachaches, hemorrhoids, and lumbago.

Finding the Root of My Fear

2006-06-22

Since then, I found that I sometimes felt an unknown pressure stuck in my chest when I went out to expose the persecution and let people learn the truth. I sensed that it was fear. I looked inside myself to find out why I felt this way. Eventually, I found the reason. It was because I had a mentality formed ever since my childhood that I liked to hear others’ praise for whatever I did. If another person said that I did not do things well, I would worry about it. I cared a lot about how others saw me.

Improper Mentalities in Memorising the Falun Gong Teachings

2006-06-22

It is not correct to seek to achieve a certain goal in reciting the Fa. The base point of reciting the Fa is to become more and more assimilated to the Fa, rather than to achieve a higher status for oneself, to make oneself different from other practitioners, or to satisfy one’s attachment for showing off, which are all not in line with the Fa principles and part of the attachment of pursuit. Furthermore, it is also not right to take reciting the Fa as a daily task or as a guarantee for maintaining a good status in cultivation.

My Experience of "Understanding the Fa from the Fa"

2006-06-19

I started practising Falun Dafa in 1996, but for a period of time in my cultivation I did not study the Falun Gong teachings - the Fa. I realised that because of this I was not able to elevate my understanding beyond the human level. I was worried. How was I to understand the Fa from the Fa? I often asked myself this question after I was persecuted and stopped studying. When I resumed practising in 2003 I gradually found an answer to my question.

Falun Gong Practitioners Should Not Become Attached to Any Political Party

2006-06-17

When some practitioners speak, they like to imply which party is good or bad, which party needs salvation, or which party has already taken a righteous position. In fact, these comments all derive from human notions. Some practitioners get very upset when others criticize the party that they approve of. This anger comes from wanting others to accept and think the way they do. The motivation for debating the merits of the political parties is wanting to prove oneself right and wanting to validate oneself, not the principles layed out in Falun Gong.
