Breaking Notions and Walking Righteously on the Path of Falun Dafa Cultivation
2005-12-10I continued, "If you feel pressured, then give me a few days. I will move out as soon as I find a new room." The officer unexpectedly said, "I quite admire you Falun Gong practitioners. You have guts, and a steadfast belief. You just continue to live there. If anyone comes to check, not necessarily to check on you, and even if they check your home, it will do if you simply don't open the door for them." I replied with a thank you, "Your kind heart will bring you good fortune." -
The Past Year in Front of the Chinese Embassy
2005-12-07From then on, together with other practitioners, we started to going to the Chinese Embassy to send forth righteous thoughts and do the exercises, come rain or shine. At the beginning the situation was very difficult. The Chinese Embassy staff reported us to the police and the police frequently came over. It rained quite often. Practitioners' had differing opinions, and I had tribulations of my own. It is a daily test of my character to see if I can keep up the activity in front of the Chinese Embassy. -
Finding Out about Falun Dafa in Singapore
2005-12-06The practitioner in-charge was very helpful and patient. She taught me thoroughly. What amazed me was that I did not have to pay a penny to learn it. Several days passed, and my sleeping problem improved tremendously. After several weeks, I finally got over the insomnia which had been troubling me for so many years. -
Tsing-Hua University Alumnus Tries to Persuade Hu Jintao: Stop Persecuting Falun Gong
2005-12-05From the afternoon of the 10th to the morning of the 12th, Falun Gong practitioners from nearly twenty different countries engaged in a petition near Hotel Adlon where Hu Jintao stayed, appealing for the termination of the persecution of Falun Gong. On the 11th of November, 2005, Hu Jintao paid a visit to such places as the Congress of Germany and the Premier's office. The following is my experience of that day... -
On Excuses and Evasions in Cultivation
2005-12-05When something happens, we may remain superficially peaceful, but in our minds we may have attachments that run rampant. In some cases, we know it is a test, but we still argue with others, while in our minds we say to ourselves, "I am not being attached. I just can not help arguing." But why do we argue if we are not attached? Doesn't the fact that we argue with others mean we are attached? -
Finding My Deeply Hidden, Fundamental Attachment
2005-12-03I did not learn Falun Dafa because I had illness or was unhappy with my life. When I practised other exercises for cultivating my body before, I did not know why I wanted to practise. However, when I first learnt about Falun Dafa, my heart felt so happy as if all my life I had been waiting for this. Thus, even after Master published the article "Towards Consummation," I didn't pay much attention to it. I believed that my intentions in learning Falun Dafa were pure. -
Earnestly and Conscientiously Practising Falun Dafa
2005-12-03I started to talk about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and told them the story about a young practitioner whose face was disfigured by electric shocks. I related the story where a fellow practitioner was sentenced to four years in prison just because she talked in a park about how she had recovered from illness through practising Falun Gong. After hearing these stories, the old woman changed her attitude and said to me, "You can go now." -
My Cultivation Experience
2005-11-30For a while, the material production sites sprang up everywhere like bamboo shoots after the rain. People in rural areas learnt how to use computers in four days. A 70-year-old woman learnt how to use a computer in two weeks, and then an 80-year-old senior citizen and students learnt how to use computers. I also began from zero, same as the other practitioners, knowing nothing. But our hearts were being led by Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance and we simply wished to let others learn the truth about the practice and the persecution. -
Master Is Always Beside Us
2005-11-30I read an article stating that a practitioner had given up cultivation because for a long time he could not see any supernatural things and thus he lost righteous faith in Falun Dafa. After reading this article, I felt it was such a pity that this practitioner gave up the predestined cultivation opportunity that happens only once in a thousand years, particularly when the Fa-rectification is near its end. With the many practitioners who cannot see things in other dimensions in mind, I would like to share my cultivation experiences. -
Researchers Discover that Meditation Builds up the Brain
2005-11-29Ten volunteers were tested before and after 40 minutes of either sleep, meditation, reading or light conversation, with all subjects trying all conditions. The 40-minute nap was known to improve performance (after an hour or so to recover from grogginess). But what astonished the researchers was that meditation was the only intervention that immediately led to superior performance, despite none of the volunteers being experienced at meditation. -
Haven't I Seen You Before?
2005-11-29Her neighbours greatly admired her when they witnessed Fumei get up early to practise the exercises and hold Falun Gong activities with a radiant look on her face. They said that Fumei had been looking quite emaciated and sickly before she began her practise. They had felt anxious about her health, but dared not to ask what disease she had caught. -
How Reciting the Falun Gong Teachings Improved my Cultivation
2005-11-29It was Master's merciful arrangement that totally changed my state. During the summer break of 2004, I had a practitioner-colleague come over to my home for a gathering. I mentioned my situation to her, explaining, "My heart is just like a boat that is unable to reach the shore. I always wanted to get closer to Master, get closer to Falun Dafa, yet I am not able to make it." I felt such agony. I only wanted to cry. -
Passing the Test of Positive Circumstances
2005-11-28What can we see from here? No matter if it was the bad environment that made the practitioners "transform" or the test of cultivating in a favourable environment that made the practitioners slacken in their resolve to be diligent, the key point is that we still have human attachments. -
How a Teenage Falun Dafa Practitioner Memorised the Book Zhuan Falun
2005-11-28School started early this year, so I had to take a giant step forward and commit to memorising twenty pages a day. I didn't have time to watch TV. I had memorised Zhuan Falun in its entirety by the morning prior to the first day of school. It took me 42 days to memorise the whole book, from July 9th, 2005, until August 19th, 2005, done with Master's help and support. -
Removing All Elements that Impede Our Advancement in Cultivation
2005-11-27Often, a person who speaks may not mean what he says, but the person who listens will take offence. When that happens, the environment will become tense, directly affecting one's emotions. This often happens when people start to joke. At first, the jokes are clean. But, when everyday people's corrupted notions creep in, the jokes begin to change flavor. They soon become cynical, infuriating, and ridiculing. The worst thing is when 'adult' jokes enter into the conversation, which greatly spoils a Falun Dafa practitioners' image.
