My Understanding of Benevolence

2009-03-05

While I was in college, I was fortunate to obtain Falun Dafa. The moment I finished reading Zhuan Falun, I immediately understood that this was what I had been waiting for. I was so excited. Since then, I have been following Master's teachings. Purifying my heart and soul and cultivating to become a selfless, altruistic and righteous enlightened being is the goal of my life.

A Small Difference On the Surface Can Mean a Big Difference in Realms for Cultivators

2009-03-04

This afternoon, another beautiful customer of mine that I know very well was quarrelling with my sales person about the price of a product. When she saw me, she grabbed my arms, leaned towards my body, and acted in an inappropriate manner. She kept calling me “brother” and asked me for a lower price. People all looked at me. Although I looked upright at that moment, in my heart I was hoping she would lean on my shoulder for a little longer.

Using Our Divine Side to Save More Sentient Beings

2009-03-04

There are many ways for us to save sentient beings, including distributing fliers; clarifying the truth face-to-face, over the phone, over or Internet; as well as promoting the Divine Performance Arts (DPA) shows. Still, many practitioners have this question: Why is it so difficult to encourage people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations?

Validating the Fa during Tribulations, Saving Sentient Beings

2009-03-03

My husband is an alcoholic. He is just like the person described by Teacher, who would not raise his rice bowl at a meal if there was no alcohol. When he was awake, he would say nothing no matter what you'd say to him. Once he was drunk he would start picking on me. Whether it was some unhappiness at work, or if he was mistreated somewhere else, he would come home and drink then start his brawl.

Seize the Opportunity to Save More Sentient Beings

2009-03-03

Sometimes I went on long-distance buses. Once, I was on one and started clarifying the truth to the driver and encouraging him to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He then got rid of the portrait of Mao Zedong on his bus and replaced it with a Falun Gong talisman. I asked him to play a truth-clarification CD, and he played it twice for the customers on the bus. Everybody listened attentively.

Maturing Through Genuine Cultivation

2009-03-02

At least, now I know, as we have come to this day, when confronting any problem, as long as I can keep this thought-- "I am a Dafa practitioner", or "this is a good thing", or "I must meet the standard" and so on, then I will be able to do better than what I have done.

How I Became a Falun Dafa Waist-Drummer

2009-03-02

Excessive enthusiasm and exaggerated cheerfulness are but an obstacle, she said. They are qing (emotion/desire), something that interferes with and lowers the level. When qing is gone, compassion follows. When the artist is free of human emotion, his performance will not be that of a regular person but of a Falun Gong practitioner, saturated with gong.

A Visit to My Hometown in China

2009-03-01

There was a total of five adults. I immediately told them about Dafa and the persecution. I talked about the miracles of Dafa and gave them several sets of materials. I told them to recite those two lines. They all carefully put the amulets into their pockets and said that they would definitely recite "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Falun Dafa is good."

. The presentation about the water crystal experiment caught the staff and students' attention. We subsequently gave a live exercise demonstration, and when it ended, our local practitioners and my family were presented a handkerchief with a young coconut on top of it, which was their traditional custom of honouring someone.

Purifying Myself While Reciting The Fa

2009-02-27

When memorizing the Fa, one cannot express any human thoughts, and the effect is more powerful when one fully concentrates on memorization. When I studied the Fa, I usually read two to three lectures a day. Previously when I memorized the Fa, I had the attachment of wanting to accomplish something fast. I thought that my progress was slow, and even though I tried twice, I did not persevere. This time, I memorized the lectures calmly when I had time, and I did not rush or become anxious.

Thoughts on the Process of Producing Truth-Clarification Materials

2009-02-27

When my son bought a computer, I bought an all-in-one printer to go with it, and began printing materials. In less than three months, as soon as I managed to figure out how the ink cartridge worked, it died on me. It happened because I was afraid my family members would find out that I was printing materials, so I would wait for them to fall asleep each night to bring it out.

What I Learned from Dealing with My Roommates

2009-02-25

The fault lies within me when I feel bad. It indicates that it's time for me to cultivate myself and let go of my attachments. When I did all I could on my own, my schoolmates treated me badly. Teacher is so benevolent. He knew that I was not looking inward and arranged for the people around me to serve as a mirror to reflect my attachments.

A Realization After Complaining About My Cell Phone

I said to my mother and the others there, "It's no use bringing my mother before me like this. In the eyes of Dafa practitioners, family and outsiders are all the same. To us there's no intimate or estranged, close or distant. We don't differentiate based on these things." Another practitioner present pitched in, "When practitioners look at the myriad matters and all things, including all sentient beings, it's all the same, it's all compassion."

Taking Care of a Young Practitioner Is Also Part of My Cultivation

Once she went out to practice riding a bicycle. She came back to me and said, "Grandma, would you find me a plastic bag with truth-clarification materials? I will give them out when I see people." So when she saw a passer-by, she ran up to him and said, "Hello, please take a look at Dafa truth materials. It will bring good fortune to you."

They countered, "You must hate this government since you are detained." I replied, "No, I do not." "Why is that? "I am a Falun Gong practitioner, and we believe in Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. Master told us that other people may treat us badly, but we must treat everyone well, even the people who are against us. As cultivators, we don't have enemies."
