An Experience to Share with Practitioners Who Are Still Trapped In Family Tribulations
2009-12-29Reminders from other practitioners helped me gradually realize that I had to do well within my family environment, by fulfilling the responsibility of a wife and mother in addition to my everyday work. It was true that I was already doing all household chores, but I often did them while complaining and didn't show much compassion. -
Becoming Diligent
2009-12-29I made a plan for daily Fa study, exercise practice, sending forth righteous thoughts, and truth clarification. I treated the plan as my prehistoric vow. If I could not complete it, I would be breaking my vow. When I was becoming lazy, I remembered that I am a Falun Dafa disciple and can never break my vow. -
Enlightenment on Abandoning Jealousy
2009-12-28When the practitioner left, I realized I was wrong. Why did I repeat the same sentence so many times? I realized I had human notions, but what were they? I made last year's calendar. If she could do it, then what would I do? Could she really do it well? I was shocked to realize that I was jealous. -
Improving Myself Through Making Phone Calls to Clarify the Truth
2009-12-28I have also read feedback from Mainland Chinese practitioners on the Minghui website, which repeatedly affirmed the important role overseas phone calls played in lessening the persecution. Realizing the importance of these phone calls became an integral part of my cultivation. -
My Understanding of Forbearance
2009-12-27To endure without anger and grievance is difficult to do. We know that there is sacrifice in Forbearance, in letting go of all attachments. When we let go of all attachments, we will naturally look at everything with a calm mind and raise our hearts to higher realms. -
Cultivation Thoughts from a "Small Matter"
2009-12-27Facing that situation, I did not look within. I did not think about why I happened to see it and whether I had some similar notions of "insisting on our own ideas" from the Party culture. Instead, I gloated over it and felt that my mother-in-law helped me to express my own anger at my husband. -
Fundamentally Eliminating the Attachment of Pursuit
2009-12-26So no matter how we pursue a good life, there will always be this or that aspect that isn't perfect. Only by giving up the pursuit of a good life, only by giving up our human goals and objectives can we obtain true good fortune. -
Letting Go of Attachments Depends on the Fa
2009-12-26"As a Fa-rectification period practitioner, I will firmly fulfil my sacred duty of assisting Teacher in the Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings. No one and nothing can prevent me from returning to my true self." My family saw that I was determined and stopped trying to hinder me. -
Letting Go of Attachments by Looking Inward
2009-12-25Practitioners at our Fa study group set strict standards for themselves in accordance with the Fa, cultivated themselves well, cooperated with the one body and sent forth righteous thoughts as a group. We teamed up in twos or threes to clarify the truth and to persuade people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its subordinate organizations. Everyone's xinxing improved greatly. -
New Practitioner: Starting Cultivation and Becoming Diligent
2009-12-25One day this summer (2009), I came across a friend I had not seen for years. She looked very energetic, and I asked her what happened. She told me, "Practicing Falun Dafa makes me healthy and energetic. For more than a decade, I have not needed to take medicine. It is very good. Why don't you give it a try? I promise it will work for you as well." I gladly said yes. She taught me to recite, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" and "Falun Dafa is good." -
Pondering Over Life: My Thoughts by the Seaside
2009-12-24As I walked closer and looked at the boundless open sea and high mountains situated on both sides, I was suddenly filled with such strong feelings and emotions: I wanted to open my arms to embrace the mountains and ocean to my chest, and to open my heart to put all living things in my heart! At that moment, every human worry and emotion were all diluted by the seawater without a trace. -
Handle Every Single Thought and Idea Well
2009-12-24With righteous thoughts and righteous actions we can save more sentient beings. Continuously getting rid of attachments and human thoughts, rectifying every single thought and idea is true cultivation. In order to achieve that, one must study Fa more and well, remind himself/herself that he/she is a Dafa practitioner, and use the Fa to guide everything. -
Memorizing the Fa
2009-12-23"It would be a pity if I did not memorize such a good book." However, I was afraid that I was incapable of memorizing the whole book. Then I realized that my lack of confidence was because I did not have enough faith in the power of Fa and Master. If fellow practitioners could do it, why couldn't I? -
Giving up the Stubborn Attachment of Refusing to Accept Criticism
2009-12-23The attachment of "self" manifests in many ways. It can manifest at work, at home, in front of adults, in front of kids and in front of fellow practitioners. At home, I am always concerned about what everyone else is doing. I have to be in control of everything, big or small because I always think my approach is the best. -
It Was Dafa That Saved Me
2009-12-22Before practicing, I was very particular about what I ate. I cared about the nutritional value of foods, and liked fresh and live things. As a result, I also accumulated a lot of karma this way.
