European Falun Gong Practitioners Join the Activities in Manhattan
2004-11-06He carried on taking photos until he felt satisfied. One of the Falun Gong practitioners who speaks a little English went up to talk to him, then was told that he was a reporter of a technology institution magazine in New York. Having read about the newspaper taken from here yesterday, he felt that the content was great and thus he decided to write an article introducing what Falun Gong is and what the persecution is about. -
The Cultivation Path of A New Practitioner: So Many More People Are Waiting to Hear the Truth
2004-11-06There was an eighty-year old woman who wanted to learn the Falun Gong exercises after listening to the facts. She asked for additional Falun Gong related material for her daughter, and she hoped that her daughter would want to learn the exercises too. Although she couldn't read, she asked me to write Teacher's name on a card so she could always remember it. Her sincerity towards our Teacher really touched my heart, and I realized that there were so many people still waiting to learn the facts, and waiting to be saved. -
European Falun Gong Practitioners in Manhattan
2004-11-05When we say: we don’t really speak English and that we have come from Germany to appeal to stop the brutal persecution against Falun Gong practitioners shown in the picture. People will then have more esteems, "Oh! so you are from a place that is so far away!" It can seem how desperate this persecution needs to be stopped. Germans and Americans who speak German will speak to us in German immediately when we tell them our nationality, so that some of them will get to know more about Falun Gong and the reason behind the persecution. -
Suggestions to European Practitioners Regarding the Activities in Manhattan
2004-11-05Nevertheless, there are still numerous people, organisations and enterprises waiting for us. When talking with some other Falun Gong practitioners I was informed that practitioners in Manhattan who are good at speaking English will start to tell the facts of Falun Gong to students and teachers in four hundred schools next week. Hopefully more practitioners can participate in the activities. -
My Experience Distributing Falun Gong Materials in Mountain Villages
2004-11-04Distributing informative fliers is one of the main forms that Falun Gong practitioners use to inform people with the correct facts surrounding Falun Gong. I would like to share my experience and the results of distributing materials that contain the true facts about Falun Gong while being in different states of mind. -
Three Short Stories: "Looking Inside When Conflicts Arise," "I Didn't Chase Him or Hit Him" and "A 'Foolish' Teacher"
2004-11-04I asked, "Why didn't you catch him and beat him?" Weiwei replied, "First of all, he did not knock me down on purpose (I am taller and stronger than him. He might have wanted to help me up, but was afraid to do so, because he was afraid I might beat him up). I must forgive what he did to me. Secondly, if I did not hurt him, I would receive virtue from him. In reality, I didn't hurt him so I paid back any debt I might have owed him. Thirdly, a Falun Gong practitioner should think about other people first before oneself and follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." -
Falun Gong Practitioner Sun Xianxin From Kunming City in China Released in Four Days Due to Her Righteous Thoughts and Actions
2004-11-03On the morning of the 24th of September, 2004, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Sun Xianxin was arrested in Kunming City of Yunnan Province for distributing factual information about Falun Gong. Ms. Sun continuously spoke out to clarify the truth about Falun Gong and the real factors behind the start of the persecution to the police and the public while being to taken to the police station and during her stay there. -
Some Understandings Regarding the Relationship Between Falun Gong Informational Materials and Talking to People Face-to-Face
2004-11-03Actually, clarifying the truth about Falun Gong is not a situation of "the more materials the better." The key is whether we can thoroughly clarify the facts of Falun Gong and the persecution. I ask fellow practitioners (except those under special situations) to please think about this. Let's say you distributed or posted 100 items today, but do you know how many people can really understand the truth? -
Handling Family Conflicts According to Dafa's Standards Is Also a Part of Cultivation (Part 4)
2004-11-01I never thought of searching within myself, and I just believed that my husband never thought about the family and was not in agreement with me. I even had resentment towards my husband's brother, feeling that they had asked for too much. My "sorrow" and "grievances" had all been brought about when my warped notions were challenged and when the interests of my "painstakingly managed" family were challenged. They were brought about by my attachments, which had existed subconsciously. -
Rectifying Myself
2004-11-01I always thought that I was an introverted person, as I did not like to talk and was also poor at expressing myself. When it came to talking to people face to face, I didn;t do so well because I was afraid that I could not talk well. As a result, I created many obstacles in my efforts to inform people with the correct facts about Falun Gong. -
The Attachment of Pursuit Is a Big Obstacle in Cultivation
2004-10-31The attachment of pursuit can appear in almost any conflict or obstacle of people. Many troubles and tribulations Falun Gong cultivators have faced were also the result of not giving up past notions, which in turn resulted in undesired results. -
Insights on Eliminating the Attachment of Lust
2004-10-31As Fa-rectification progresses forward, practitioners who truly cultivate Falun Dafa are continuously improving within Dafa. Many practitioners, however, are still troubled by the attachment of lust. There are even some practitioners who are thought to be very diligent by everyone, yet, they still have this predicament to different extents. When sharing experiences with a group, it's difficult to address this subject. Therefore, I wish to share my experience and understanding about this issue. -
My Understanding from Studying Master's New Article "In Fa-Rectification Your Thoughts Have to be Righteous, Not Human"
2004-10-30From Master's Fa, I understand that how Falun Dafa practitioners treat Falun Dafa, how they see Dafa, how they see every thing in human society, and how they place themselves correctly in relation to Dafa and human society is fundamental and very important. If one doesn't have a clear understanding about these issues, then it will become an issue of whether one can truly assimilate to Dafa, reach consummation, and return to one's original self. -
Break Away from Fixed Notions and Show the Greatness of Falun Gong with Honor and Dignity
2004-10-30The third day, I was interrogated again. I remained silent. All I did was send forth righteous thoughts and request strength from Master. The interrogators left again. Through these days, I abstained from water and food from the moment I was abducted. On the third day, the guards and the head of the detention centre had a conversation with me, asking me to have food and water. I said that I committed no crime, and it was against the law for the police to arrest innocent people. -
Cultivating A Garden of Life: How I Promote Falun Dafa As a Journalist
2004-10-29I love writing. I write essays and poems. I wrote a lot before I started to practice, and I continued afterward as well. However, the things I wrote were all for everyday society and with everyday people's thoughts. Of course, as a Falun Gong practitioner my writings naturally carry purity and glow. As a result, some people commented that my writings purify their heart and soul. They commented that they feel very peaceful and tranquil when reading my writings. Even so, I still didn't know how to make the connections between my writing and my cultivation during this special period of time.
