Thoughts on the Mentality of Showing Off, Zealotry and Pursuing Fame and Profit

2009-03-21

An older teacher came to borrow teaching material from me. I happily lent it to her and at the same time, I said, "I already know all of it." Showing off like this hurt her. She replied, "I also know all of it. I just want to see if there is something more." From this incident I realized that cultivating speech is not simply shutting my mouth, but not saying the wrong things when I must speak.

Searching Inside, Clarifying the Truth, and Validating FA

2009-03-20

Before cultivation, I had lots of attachments: smoking, drinking and knowing everything about beer and skittles. I lived in a mess and developed many bad habits. After cultivation, I understood that I couldn’t behave like before. I must get rid of my attachments to benefits and fame and live in a dignified and noble manner. I also understood that I must make judgements according to Fa, instead of according to common people’s standards.

Completely Getting Rid of Selfishness

2009-03-20

Sometimes a word from other people or an event touched my remaining attachments and shook my heart, causing me to become angry. I asked myself why my heart was trembling.

Dafa Disciples' Children Are Here for the Fa

2009-03-19

I explained the benefits I received from practising Falun Gong to the policemen while in the car during the drive. Eventually they did not argue any more, they listened to me quietly. The policemen even took off his coat to cover my baby. I was very grateful to him. It was very cold outside and my daughter was freezing in the wet pants and quilt.

He made some very embarrassing statements. That was the most serious humiliation I had ever endured since I had graduated from school. Tears almost welled up in my eyes, but I knew I must not cry, I must not be beaten by the old forces, I must pass this test. I held my tears and said, "Thank you. I will pay more attention!"

Searching Within Oneself and Being a Genuine Dafa Disciple

2009-03-18

In the morning on the way to work, my human notions kept surfacing. In my mind, I either criticized that fellow practitioner for a lack of righteous thoughts or complained about that practitioner for lacking a strong main consciousness. I reproached and complained about others. All of a sudden, I remembered the requirement to search inwards and treat fellow practitioners with compassion,

Clarify the Truth to Save Sentient Beings

2009-03-18

During one period of time, almost everyday I would tell him a story that I read from Clearwisdom.net. Later, I gave him a book of cultivation stories. He was very happy. One day, he walked with me all the way into the restaurant lot, and started to shout: “Falun Dafa Hao (Falun Dafa is good).” I walked to him and said: “Good! Good! You’re blessed!” He said: “I don’t know why, as soon as I saw you I wanted to call ‘Falun Dafa Hao.’”

Shocked to the Origins of My Life

2009-03-17

I found the music VCD at home, listened to it, and learned the lyrics to the songs. After I memorized the lyrics and sang along with the VCD a few times, tears came into my eyes. I found every word that I sang was the same as the practitioner had sung, with full affection, full concentration, and high quality. At that moment, every word was a shock to me, to my body, and to my soul.

Overcoming Obstacles to Access NTDTV Again

2009-03-17

Ever since the Chinese government pressured Eutelsat to shut down NTDTV's signal on the W5 satellite, we have been waiting and hoping that overseas practitioners could help us restore the signal as soon as possible. Through studying the Fa, I realized that I was waiting, counting on others and had an attachment to comfort.

Letting Go of Myself and Immersing in Cultivation—My Experience Sharing as a Sales Manager for the Dajiyuan Newspaper

2009-03-16

However, my selfishness started to surface when I was overwhelmed with workloads. I was reluctant to sacrifice even more time to train the new sales people. Consequently, the sales department seemed to always have a revolving door; people came but didn’t stay very long, and quickly left. For a long period of time, we were constantly short of hands; nobody seemed to want to help out with sales any more.

2009-03-16

One day I saw the feedback from hotline team. They mentioned that many people called the hotline after receiving flyers in Costco. Some of them were not satisfied that we only sold two kinds of prices at Costco, so they called the hotline to buy tickets with higher prices. So, nothing we did was wasted.

2009-03-15

When I asked her how she came to withdraw, she said, "My mother-in-law is also a Falun Gong practitioner. It was she who helped me to quit the CCP." She continued, "All of my family members did the three withdrawals. The old lady would not be happy if we had not done it." I said, "She certainly will be happy now since it was the best thing for you!" "Yes, I know," she said.

My Nine-Year-Old Son Validates the Fa

2009-03-15

"My child, they beat you because they do not know the truth. We should not be angry as long as you know that Dafa is good." He wept bitterly and said, "Doesn't your heart ache to see the truth-clarification materials being torn down?" His words moved me deeply. I pulled him into my arms and we cried together.

Correcting My Thoughts and Actions with the Fa

2009-03-14

Each time I read the jealousy passage during Fa study, I wondered why Master singled out this attachment to lecture on. To be honest, I was quite content. Later on I realized that it was not that I didn't have jealousy, but my jealousy was "so strong that it has become natural and one does not even feel it." (Zhuan Falun)

Calmly Look Within to Cultivate Oneself Well

2009-03-14

When sharing with other practitioners, I often criticized others without truthfulness or compassion. In addition, I did not cultivate my speech and have spread negative words around. How can this be a genuine and diligent Dafa disciple?
