Clarifying the Truth to Teachers from the Podium
2004-05-08I went to the class and used the opportunity to tell them the agenda, easing into talking about the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. All of them listened carefully. Since then, I have been personally going to class every day to help them with their cleaning and sanitary work, which the other chief instructors never do. I wanted to use my actions to validate Dafa. Everyday after roll call, I would speak for three to five minutes about various subjects such as the relationship between establishing ethics and traditional virtue, the principle of good and bad deeds being rewarded accordingly, the moral factors behind the outbreak of SARS, etc -
Some Thoughts on the Importance of Group Fa Study
2004-05-07I kept focusing on my reading. But when it was our turn to read together, the French, just read together with them and hearing the voices of the two who had just arrived brought tears to my eyes. I do not know why. Now I understand even better that in a group study, each particle helps me to rectify myself and contributes to rectify the group. This, everybody knows, but it is very moving when you experience it yourself and it helps to better understand the meaning of group study and the role of each particle in the group. -
The Heart of a Falun Dafa Community!
2004-05-07This special place was the beginning of what can only be described of as the most wonderful event to take place in own our City, Orlando, which will now never be the same after the arrival of Dafa. Through much effort on behalf our City's first contact person, who came from New York just to help us, one site soon became two and two became three until there was a practice session going on six days a week. It was beginning to manifest how the public would first view our presence as the curtain raised on the stage of Dafa's existence in our quite southern community. -
Instantaneous Enlightenment - Awakening to the Fa
2004-05-04I used to think studying the Fa is similar to storing apples for the winter, I can study it more in a day, and skip it for several days. Now it becomes more and more obvious that studying the Fa is equivalent to dining, you can't skip a single meal. Cultivation for improvement needs the Fa just like a growing child needs food. An increase in nutrition is necessary to enable daily growth. -
Clarify the Truth From the Audience's Perspective
2004-05-04I still talk with people about the persecution and the beauty of Dafa. More often I talk to them from the angle of a regular member of the public. I say to them "we disclose the evil doings of Jiang's regime and hope you can support justice, support Dafa, and join us in stopping the persecution." All people who hear me when I talk in this manner say, "What you just said is so good!" -
Practitioners are Like Mirrors, Reflecting My Attachments
2004-05-02Once, a practitioner expressed that another practitioner only did the work that he felt was immediately important to him and he did not care other things. My fellow practitioner then said that I was the same way as that practitioner. Actually, I do think it is best if we do what we think we should do in Dafa work, and quietly do a good job. But perhaps we could do even better in validating Dafa if we could form a whole body. In pondering this situation, I realised that I had not formed a whole body with other practitioners! -
Brief Discussion on Not Being Led by Our Attachments
2004-05-02Since so many people are soaked inside with feelings of fame, self-interest and emotions, there are all kinds of attachments that result. Thus, we need to maximally correct ourselves through cultivation, and not be disturbed by these things. It is easy to say, but hard to do. -
My First-hand Experience with Spies from the Shanghai Security Bureau
2004-04-30In 2001, my mother was arrested in Shanghai, and was illegally sentenced to three years of imprisonment. This was all because she wanted to clarify the truth and take part in group Falun Dafa study and exercises. Then, in the beginning of 2002, I began to receive phone calls from someone whose last name was Jiang, who pretended to want to help me. Actually, however, their goal was to try to persuade me into going to Shanghai. I saw through this plot, however. -
"Words Can't Express One's Gratitude Towards Great Benevolence"
2004-04-30Later I found out that after Sister Han read all the truth clarification materials, she was deeply touched by Dafa, and she recognised the heinous nature of the persecution. She wrote a three-page article about her understandings, in which she expounded on Dafa practitioners' comments, faith and belief, the freedom and the legality to appeal, as well as the law-breaking and constitution-violating nature of Jiang's persecution, from the perspective of her position in the legal profession. -
Fear and Conquering Fear
2004-04-28If we have taken a wrong path and made mistakes, rather than developing a fear of erring again and hesitating to go forward on our paths of Fa-rectification cultivation, we should try our best to correct our mistakes and temper ourselves so we can be more mature. Once we learn how to do things well, there will naturally be no need for us to feel that we are going to get hurt again. -
Chronic Liver Necrosis, Liver Blood Vessel Tumour, and Other Diseases Disappear After Practicing Falun Dafa
2004-04-28On March 12, 1997, Xin went to the exercise site to learn the exercises. In the beginning, she had to stop and take a break only after doing a few movements. Her poor physical condition did not deter her and she persisted in learning the exercises. Gradually, after doing the exercises, her appetite improved, her body became stronger, and her mood became much better. After two months of practicing the exercises, her complexion became rosy. Seeing this, her relatives and friends were very delighted and supportive of her doing the exercises and their gratitude to Falun gong was beyond description. -
England: My Trip to Geneva
2004-04-26Before I went to Geneva, I had no idea what I could do there to help. Back then I believed that my righteous thoughts could strengthen the righteous field there. With that simple thought, I made up my mind to go to Geneva. Looking back now, I realise Master’s great mercy was with me in every step that I took . -
Turns Out that My Fellow Falun Dafa Practitioners Are So Beautiful
2004-04-26I have become ever more convinced that when a person becomes boundlessly compassionate, in their surrounding environment all selfish and degenerate elements will be rectified. I have also discovered that when I become more compassionate, I become more tolerant and generous, and my righteous thoughts become more powerful when eliminating evil in other dimensions. I suppose that as one is able to make a clear distinction between good and evil, one’s righteous thoughts will become more powerful as well. -
Germany: How a Practitioner Should View the Countries that do not Understand the Truth about Falun Gong
2004-04-25As long as the Fa rectification has not been completed we should use all the opportunities to let those countries who have been poisoned know the truth. Clarifying the truth is not our goal, “Clarifying the truth is the way to save sentient beings.” [Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Western U.S. Fa Conference]. If people do not know the truth, then their conscience will not be moved, therefore they may do something that could destroy their future. -
Truly Good People
2004-04-25In my opinion, Falun Gong practitioners are truly good people. They adhere to … ‘Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance,’ the Great Law of the Universe. They are not slaves who should be held imprisoned with criminals in forced labour camps. Good people should not be equated with people who are easy to bully. Good people should neither be bullied nor humiliated. Good people should not be detained in forced labour camps or jails, and nor should they be enslaved.
