Practitioners vs. Disciples
2004-04-03
Other practitioners and nearly gave up cultivation altogether after they experienced some frustrations in cultivation or changed to a new environment. Later they recalled the gloomy period of time after they returned to the path of cultivation. They said that they knew that they should not fall behind, and they were in tears each time they looked at Teacher’s photographs, but for some reason they just could not pick up a Dafa book to read and they had no desire or interest to do Dafa work. They thought that they had done a lot of things badly and they were far below the standard of a Dafa disciple. They thought that they were hopeless. -
Terrorism and the Human Rights Commission
2004-04-02It may seem that terrorist activities are far away from our Dafa practitioners, at this human level, we always hold the view that terrorism is none of our business or I wouldn’t be bothered. From the perspective of the Fa, we haven’t reached a clear understanding of how terrorism can have a bad effect on what we are doing today. Instead of using our righteous thoughts to clean away the interference of terrorism, we just ignored it. -
People Are Looking For Falun Gong
2004-04-02The second person was a policeman. One night he came to me and said, "I have read all of the flyers and booklets you gave me last time. I have read all of them and passed them on. Now I realize that Falun Gong is good." Then he said with embarrassment, "Would you give me the book Zhuan Falun to read? I know you Falun Gong practitioners don't think policemen are good." I said, "No. We practitioners treat everyone equally. Practitioners of Falun Gong cultivate benevolence in their daily lives without concern for any gain or loss. -
A Visitor from China: The Public Trial of Jiang Zemin is the Wish of the Chinese People
2004-04-01The Dafa practitioner said to him, "Yes, it is indeed like this. This is precisely the reason why after four years of persecution and suppression, Falun Gong still stands strong. Actually this persecution is happening on a global scale. On the surface, people can only see the physical and mental suffering endured by Falun Gong practitioners. On a deeper level, the persecution has brought about a much bigger disaster, as it destroys humanity and human conscience and ruins mankind's morality..." -
Taking Responsibility for Our Own Fate
2004-04-01By the end of my college education I had grown tired of those bad things and started to search the world for something to set me free, or at least to help me see the truth. Then, in December of 2002, while searching around on the Internet for meditation information I came across the web site, falundafa.org. Suddenly I felt as if I had been waiting all my life for that moment. I trust that I truly had been waiting for it, for a long time - longer then my life in this society can account for. Soon I finished school and moved back home to Louisiana. -
A Sharing on Calling People in China to Clarify the Truth About Falun Gong and the Persecution
2004-03-31On another occasion, I called a corrupt person who was with the “610 Office.”* I called his home phone number and a girl picked up the phone. She hung up the phone three times, but she didn’t hang up the fourth time. She silently listened to me until I finished speaking. She then asked me, “Why did you all go and surround Zhongnanhai [the headquarters of the Chinese Central Government in Beijing]?” She asked many more questions about Falun Gong. In fact, she kept asking questions until I had to leave home to pick up my daughter from school. So I asked for her QQ account number, and we’ve since chatted a few times online. -
The Pleasure of Studying the Fa
2004-03-31I remember one early morning, in the beginning of October 2000, when I noticed a yellow banner in the park that displayed the content of “Lunyu.” As I was reading “Lunyu,” I became excited. This was the first time I had encountered Falun Dafa. I immediately went to a bookshop and purchased a copy of Zhuan Falun. I know many people who have read that book more than one or two hundred times in just one year. -
Some Thoughts on Falun Dafa Practitioners Creating Literary Work
2004-03-30The true meaning of literature should be to motivate people to search for, and become closer to, the truth. Since ancient times, countless renowned scholars have been searching for the truth, but to no avail. Right now the truth is made available to us, and that truth is Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong. It follows then that Dafa practitioners’ literary efforts during this period ought to revolve around Falun Dafa, the truth of the universe, as well as Teacher’s immense compassion. -
Having Once Been Deceived, I Now Understand the Urgency of Exposing the Jiang Group's Lies
2004-03-30In November 2000, I went to Singapore, and I was fortunate enough to attend the Singapore Experience Sharing Conference. After I heard the experiences of practitioners in Singapore and started to read a lot of truth clarification materials, I came to understand. I was shocked when I realized that the propaganda was all fabricated. Through the help of fellow practitioners, I once again stepped back onto the path of cultivation. -
Exposing the Chinese Consulate's Shady Meddling In Overseas Chinese Students' Organizations
2004-03-29Recently, at the election for the president of the University of Minnesota Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars, (hereafter referred to as MUFACSS), the Consul of the Chinese Consulate in Chicago, Jiang Bo, and his assistant, Chen Jiacai, used underhanded tricks to prevent a third year undergraduate student, Falun Gong practitioner Wang Xiaodan, from selection. -
Following Teacher on the Path of Fa-Rectification
2004-03-28At the same time, I also witnessed and heard about many other practitioners’ miraculous phenomena. Many had suffered from terminal illnesses, or illnesses that were hard to diagnose and hard to cure; yet they miraculously recovered and became healthy again. These are all mysteries that cannot be explained by modern science. People find these amazing phenomena beyond belief. Every day, there were more and more people beginning to practice. I also brought the wonder of Falun Dafa to my family: my two daughters and my grandson all obtained Dafa. My friends also obtained Dafa after I introduced Dafa to them. -
Getting Rid of Attachments While Clarifying the Truth Over the Phone
2004-03-28I also tried making phone calls but had never been really involved since in most cases when I called they usually hung up or cursed at me. Then, I didn't take this as an opportunity to improve myself. On the contrary, my common people's mentality rose up. I regarded it as a setback and made up a pretext that I had other clarifying-truth jobs to do to cover up my attachment of not having the courage to pick up the phone to clarify the truth. By acting in this manner, I had lost time due to my hesitation and fear. Then, when I did make an attempt, I could not pick up the phone as if the phone were very heavy. -
Remembering That Buddha Once Begged for Food to Save Us
2004-03-27One day, Sakyamuni traveled to a seaside village to beg for food, a little girl suddenly ran towards him and mischievously put a handful of sand into Sakyamuni’s begging bowl. His disciples were very angry at the little mischievous girl, but Sakyamuni accepted the sand in a very pleasant manner. Later, Sakyamuni explained to them that the girl would be reincarnated as a Chinese girl and become a Chinese Empress. If Sakyamuni didn't accept her offering of sand, she would destroy Buddhism in China when she became the empress. -
The Innermost and Sincerest Appeal of Italian Practitioner Alfredo: “This Persecution Must Be Stopped!”
2004-03-27Every time when I sang, I had to go to the mountains. Otherwise, my friends would complain about it. However, when I heard about the training session at Rüdesheim, Germany, I felt a strong desire to attend. I was very happy to attend the training. I have changed my everyday people’s notion about being good or bad at singing. It is because I sing with my heart and I sing on behalf of Dafa practitioners. Therefore, I am able to sing in a very tranquil and peaceful manner. I sing as a bass in the choir. -
Pay Attention to Conforming to the Ordinary Environment When Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
2004-03-27It is very good for Falun Dafa practitioners to remember to send forth righteous thoughts at set times daily. However, except for those times when we are in front of Chinese Embassies, I think we should pay special attention to conforming to the specific environment we are in at the moment. At the very least, our actions should not cause misunderstanding or cause the people around us to have a bad impression of Dafa.
