Article from the UK Fa Conference: Looking Inward so as to Improve Amidst Conflicts and Tensions
2006-09-03
During these days of activities in Edinburgh, I came across several conflicts and tensions with other practitioners. Although they appeared to be different, I found all these conflicts resulted from my own selfishness, my being wronged, my contribution, my tiredness, my reputation and other factors relevant to myself. Because of these attachments, I have unpleasant arguments with others, which can sometimes bother me for quite a long while. I have realised these attachments but find them hard to root out. -
Article from the UK Fa Conference: Exposing the Persecution at Downing Street
2006-09-03In that environment, the officials who passed by grew more and more friendly; wanting to accept our handouts, whilst the number of people who signed the petition was also increasing. They were not only just the staff in the buildings, but also lawyers, ground force officers, administrative staff and nobility. The interesting thing is I do not know many celebrities in Britain, but once a fellow practitioner told me that one of the quite famous ministers had accepted our handout. -
Being Kind to Fellow Chinese People
2006-09-02The truth is that we Falun Gong practitioners do not clarify the truth to fellow Chinese people in order to vent our grief and anger. We are by no means trying to be heroes. This does not mean we have nothing to lose or that we don't know the value of freedom and life. We are willing to risk our personal freedom, welfare and life to persevere in clarifying the truth to the Chinese people for one purpose and one purpose only: to be kind to our fellow Chinese people. -
England: Every Thought Needs to be Righteous
2006-09-01The next day however, my face was badly swollen. Of course, this fear had manifested and I realised my loophole. My fear was that my husband would want me to go to the doctor or take medicine, and I knew that this situation was not about the physical manifestation, but about the old forces taking advantage of my incorrect thoughts. -
England: Experience of Sickness Karma and Failure to Respond to its Promptings
2006-09-01On being introduced to Falun Gong in 1999 I paid no particular attention to our obligation to regard disease not in health terms but as prompting us to look within for gaps and unperceived attachments. Within my cultivation I mistakenly considered our obligation to forebear/endure to mean purely passive acceptance, without taking into account the parallel requirements to eliminate in righteous thoughts demonic interference, and to search within. -
England: My Experiences Distributing the Epoch Times
2006-08-31My name is Joanna, I got involved with the Epoch Times in early 2005 and started to coordinate the distribution. It got off to quite a shaky start as I had never been in a position of responsibility before. I had quite a big attachment to relying on others and I felt that it was the duty of everyone else to rally round and get involved. I had a very bad mentality – combative and blameful of others who didn’t help. -
England: Cultivation in the Family Environment
2006-08-31Due to a lack of righteous thoughts, I was passively enduring it, without much effort to change the situation. In the end, things had gotten worse and I had other complications, which made it very difficult for me to even walk. I was, most of the time, confined to the house. I was lacking the environment of my fellow practitioners and was drifting further way from Falun Dafa, immersing myself in worldly worries. -
England: A Teenager’s Experience Sharing Article
2006-08-30My name is Christina Yip and I come from Oxfordshire. I have just turned 16 this year and have been practising Falun Dafa with my mother for 7 years. I decided to write an experience sharing article on my cultivation as a young adolescent disciple to share the problems I have been faced with as a teenager and how I overcome them. -
Righteous Thoughts Create a Good Environment - An Experience Exposing the Lies Behind the Persecution
2006-08-30Everybody in the office did their best to avoid him. I had clarified the truth to him before, but he was too deeply poisoned by the CCP and did not want to withdraw from the CCP. As soon as he said those words, everyone in the office suddenly became quiet. I got the impression that if I did not reply to his question, no one would ever dare to raise this issue again. Moreover, the people to whom I had successfully clarified the truth and who had withdrawn from the CCP, would lose their righteous thoughts if I did not correct the environment. -
Let Go of Attachments and Walk a Righteous Path in Cultivation
2006-08-30I began to talk to this practitioner and asked her when she started to lose weight and when her sickness karma began. She said she used to work in a pharmacy, and all her coworkers went on diets to look pretty. She also wanted to lose weight, and began to eat less. Later, when she didn’t feel hungry she skipped meals. She lost weight quickly, growing thinner and thinner. Her family took her to the hospital for a checkup and she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I was shocked to hear this. -
Memories of the Inaugural Zhuan Falun Book Publication Ceremony
2006-08-29I stood there watching other practitioners going into the hall in groups of two or three. They were smiling and looked so happy. I envied them, thinking how great it would be if I had a ticket too. I decided I would stand there until the ceremony was over. It was just a couple of minutes before the ceremony was to start and just a few people were left outside. At that moment, a female practitioner came up to me and said, "Do you have a ticket? I have a spare ticket that you can take. Get in there quickly." -
My Understanding of What It Means to Be Kind As a Falun Dafa Disciple
2006-08-25A cultivator and a non-cultivator have fundamentally different understandings on what it means to be kind. Non-cultivators make judgments on whether a person is kind based on selfishness. A non-cultivator perceives you as a kind person if you satisfy his requests or provide him with benefits in your speech or actions. Additionally, he may call you unkind if you disagree with him or fail to satisfy his requests. -
Any Thought That Is Not Upright Will Be Transformed into False Images or Occurrences
2006-08-25 enlightened to the understanding that the dimensional space around a cultivator changes with his mind-set. If our conduct is upright, it will have a positive influence on everything around us. False occurrences and images will not be allowed to manifest if we do not have that particular attachment, or if the field that is not upright isn't there. When we look at others with sexual attraction and desire, we have already created karma due to these attachments. -
Exposing the Persecution and Helping People Withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party
2006-08-22During wheat harvest time, all the farming households in my area have to wait for their turn to use the paddy harvesting machine. While they are waiting, I tell them about withdrawing from the CCP. The majority of farmers accepted the truth and asked to withdraw from the CCP using nicknames. One day about 100 people asked to withdraw from the CCP. -
Jealousy and Cultivation
2006-08-22When a problem arises, I unknowingly make excuses for myself. One day I came to realise that while I thought I had completely eliminated my jealousy through cultivation, in reality I had only eliminated some of it. It is like a fully grown tree, where only some branches and leaves are well-maintained, but the root and the main trunk are untouched. Past scenes were flowing by in my mind. The fact of the matter is, what I didn't do right was because of my "pride" that was caused, in some way, by jealousy.
