A Few Words On The Root Cause Of Being Unable To Search Inside Oneself
2003-03-03
Being unable to search inside oneself manifests in different degrees at different levels. At the lower levels, one cannot let go of defending one's own notion of selfishness. One fears being hurt, losing something, and having less than others. In fact, searching inside is not being weak, but a wise action and a good start toward goodness. -
Maintaining Righteous Thoughts During my Persecution
2003-03-01If the letter met their requirements, they would report it to their superior requesting for a release. A mere repentance letter would set people free. It was quite a temptation to anyone. For several nights I was thinking: Could my belief in Dafa be shaken by temptation? Should I believe the lies of those evil persecutors? -
Some Thoughts on The Issue of Falun Gong Practitioners Claiming Asylum Overseas
2003-03-01A significant number of Chinese practitioners in our country are claiming asylum. Practitioners, either those claiming asylum or those who are not, have different ideas and attitudes about this issue. During this Fa-rectification period, I think we should discard all notions that we have developed in our personal cultivation, and think of this asylum issue from the perspective of Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings. -
Some Thoughts on Morality in Marriage
2003-03-01Different from any secluded cultivation way in history, Dafa practitioners mainly practice in the human world, and they cultivate and improve themselves in the daily life, study and work of society. It is therefore normal that Dafa practitioners encounter issues involving family, marriage and feelings between a man and a woman. How should we look at these issues, regarding the morality associated with marriage? -
For a Benevolent Girl ---- Yongjie
2003-02-28When I heard that Weiguo Xie’s fiancée, Yongjie Zhu, had been illegally arrested in China, I was very sad and anxious. When I read an article written by Weiguo which mentioned that, although Weiguo’s parents were against their decision to get married, Yongjie still waved him off with a smile when he boarded the airplane for Britain, my heart was touched, and I could not hold back my tears over her benevolence. -
Diary Entry: Sandra and Her Cat
2003-02-28She had on a smile on her face and talked about her cat that had left this world in a peaceful yet nostalgic tone. I was astonished to discover that all of a sudden, I was very touched. Touched by the gentleness and friendliness of the cat. Touched by how much she misses it as she reminisces over the little details of the memories of the cat. -
Clarify the Truth with Our Pure and Outstanding Words and Actions
2003-02-27I am always happy, full of energy and reasonable. The supervisors and colleagues from my original work unit said: "This person would not be able to handle all of this if he were not practising Falun Gong. If we had been in that situation, no one could suffer through it. We respect Teacher Li." One colleague told me: "When you introduced Falun Gong to me before, I didn't care for it. Now I want to learn it from you as I can see that it will be a great benefit to me." -
Coming and Going at Ease With Righteous Thoughts
2003-02-27Knowing that the persecution shouldn't exist we kept sending forth righteous thoughts. The two male practitioners left through the side door from the second floor. We, the two female practitioners, decided to go out in a noble and dignified way through the front door. By that time, all the policemen were waiting at the front yard of the apartment building. Talking and smiling, the two of us walked through the watchful eyes of two policemen. -
My Understanding Of How To Do Well In The Current Media Work
2003-02-26In the past three years, we have held appeals through parades, hunger strikes, SOS walks, press releases and through the European Falun Gong Information Centre, we have persisted in disseminating cases of persecution in China. Even though these have brought some enthusiastic feedback, on the whole, the results have not reached our expectations, therefore, what shall we do? -
Righteous Conduct Leads to Righteous Results
2003-02-24My colleague on the project had some prior film making experience, yet we were both amateurs with little skill in this area. The small team that had been assembled managed to produce a film in about five weeks. I look at it this way: Even though we are not professionals, with our noble hearts we can accomplish great things for Falun Dafa. -
A Touching Story of Compassion during a Painting Exhibition in the EU Parliament
2003-02-24The practitioner said: “At that moment, my friend did not notice that you were looking at that painting as well, and her act hurt you. We apologize. The artist hopes that you would select a painting you like, and she would like to sign the painting and present it to you.” The lady nodded her head quietly, and both of them went back to the exhibition together. -
Waking Up
2003-02-24Something happens to me when I wake up in the morning. It happens often, nearly every night, that I wake up in the very early hours of the morning and cannot sleep any more. Yesterday unrolls all over again in my mind’s eye and this time I can see when and sometimes also why I have not behaved as a practitioner should have. -
A Falun Dafa Practitioner's Letter to Her Husband and Daughter
2003-02-23However, I definitely will not forget the day you came to me with 200 Yuan before October 1st this year. You happily said to me, "Mom, this is a contribution for truth clarification. This month the salary given to me was larger." Do you know how happy I was? Later due to the fact that you were a good worker, you had another wage raise. You said to me, "Mom, I will take out 50 Yuan every month for truth clarification." -
People Use Their Resourcefulness to Circumvent Repressive Policies
2003-02-22One associate head of a work unit happened to be the husband of a Falun Gong practitioner. When his work unit held a meeting to discuss whether or not they needed to form a "610" office [see main text for explanation], the husband opposed the establishment of such an office and stated the disadvantages of doing it. Other leaders agreed with him, as they were suspicious of the police. -
Experiencing the Power of Participating With Righteous Thoughts as “One Body ”
2003-02-22When I am connected from the bottom of my heart through the pictures of practitioners who were practising exercises and sending righteous thoughts, it was just like I transcended the limitation of time and space and joined everything through righteous thoughts with them.
