Falun Dafa Turned My Life Around
2009-01-23Sometimes, when I am a little slack in my cultivation, I look out at the city and think to myself: why, among so many hundreds of thousands of people, am I one of the relatively few people who obtained the Fa here? Isn't there someone else out there who could do a better job than me to validate the Fa? I look at my own history in this life, and it's hard to fathom that a person who made as many mistakes as me could be fortunate enough to obtain Dafa. -
How I became a better person
2009-01-23I am learning to live the life of cultivation - it is the greatest adventure that is available to anyone. I am learning to let things happen naturally, so there is a greater ease in our family now. I have become more tolerant of other people's ways. I let people do what they want without insisting on my best way for them. For me that is a big change! I no longer think I know what is the best way for other people to live their lives. I let them work it out for themselves. -
Suggestions for Memorizing and Reciting the Fa
2009-01-22My experience proved that memorizing the Fa can indeed solve the problem of not being able to concentrate when studying the Fa. I hope my experience can help fellow practitioners who have this problem. Memorizing and reciting the Fa is absolutely doable and absolutely good. I've been doing it for over four years and I highly encourage it. -
My Fundamental Attachment
2009-01-22Yesterday I ran into a conflict with a family member. I wanted to pass the test so I was tolerant and did no argue. At the same time, I looked inward to find my human notions and attachments. I quickly discovered that I didn't have enough compassion towards my family members. I didn't regard them as non-practitioners who need to be saved; instead, I eagerly tried to change their behaviour with my human sentiment. -
Validating the Fa with a Pure Heart
2009-01-21. Once I spent six money bills that had phrases clarifying the facts written on them. The shop owner said, "You are a Falun Gong practitioner." I said with a smile, "It will guarantee you a safe future if you quit the CCP. Have you ever renounced it? It will take effect if you write your alias on the back of the bill." He asked me, "Do you have more bills like this? I'll exchange with you." I told him that was great. -
Cultivation Selling Tickets for the Divine Performing Arts Show
2009-01-21When others sold tickets, I was as happy as if I had sold the tickets. I abandoned a cultivators’ most dreadful attachment: jealousy. Dafa practitioners are one body. Every practitioner has his own weak points as well as strong points. When we cooperate well, we can learn from others’ strong points and overcome our own weak points. We can overcome all of our obstacles. Nothing is by accident. -
Thoughts On Our State of Mind
2009-01-20It was our hearts that were causing the persecutor to become more and more evil. All of the practitioners involved in the effort to rescue their fellow practitioners felt that this official was beyond salvation and they were full of hatred towards him. However, fighting evil with evil is wrong, and will be made use of by evil in other dimensions. Persecution will also be heightened in proportion to this attachment, resulting in further complication of the situation. -
Learning to Look at Myself First and Correct My Thinking When I Encounter Tribulations
2009-01-20Sometimes, I am very effective in clarifying the truth, but it sometimes has no effect for several days. When I am diligent in practice, it is very effective, and when I am not diligent, it is ineffective. For a period of time I was arrested and detained, and all day I thought about how to explain the truth. As a result, in a short two to five minutes, and with five to six sentences, I could explain the truth and convince others to do the "three withdrawals." One person out of three withdrew -
Falun Gong Saved My Mum
2009-01-19Aunt Liu had almost reached the end of her endurance when a neighbour introduced Falun Gong to her. She immediately requested a copy of Master Li's recorded lecture series and began doing everything according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. It wasn't long before Aunt Liu's diseases disappeared and her whole body felt light and healthy. Having reached desperation, she found happiness in life once more. -
Showing People the Magnificence of Dafa
2009-01-19One high-ranking official told me a story of one of his classmates - she had two family members who practiced Falun Gong. Her two daughters were expelled from their work units because they went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. They later got divorced. One of them was tortured to death. Their mother, this person's classmate, cried every day and was truly miserable. People all fear the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) because it is brutal. -
A Happy Time and Precious Memory—The 15th Anniversary of Master Disseminating the Fa in Qiqihar
2009-01-18Speaking of enlightening in the Fa, I can say confidently that not only are my illnesses all gone, but also I have really enlightened to who I am and have enlightened to the principles of the Fa at my level. I feel happy and lucky to have chosen the right way to return to my original self. I didn’t enlighten to any of this in studying Buddhism in the past many years. -
Touching
2009-01-18I have a friend who has three family members, and they all practice Falun Gong. Before practicing Falun Gong, her parents had poor health. They got sick very often. Even though they did not have serious illnesses, they often visited the hospital. Their home was practically like a medicine shop. Because they had visited doctors so many times, they had become like half-doctors themselves. Once they started to practice Falun Gong, they became healthy very quickly. -
We Are One Body
2009-01-17Another practitioner told me about a practitioner who was arrested illegally by agents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). His wife was about to visit him at a brainwashing centre. Since it was very far away, the practitioner who told the story had volunteered to go with her. The wife was moved to tears by his offer of support. When I heard this story, I cried too. Why? Didn’t his actions manifest the “selflessness and altruism” that Dafa requires of us? -
Cultivation Experience from Flushing
2009-01-17On the first evening, after having been out all day, I was in a good mood before I fell asleep. But I realized that I had been a little afraid of those really evil stares and words that I encountered from some Chinese sent by the CCP (Chinese communist party). More precisely, I was afraid of the unpleasant and persistent anger from people that confronted me. Here, it was not enough to be just kind; here compassion and tolerance had to be very great. Perhaps, I too had anger in me when I sometimes became tired of the persecution and just wanted it to end. -
Be a Good Person, But Don't Be Attached to Being a Good Person
2009-01-16A cultivator should start with being a good person in ordinary society, then they should become better than that, a person beyond the realm of everyday people. A practitioner must not be content with just being good like everyday people.
