UK: Discussing Anxiety
2004-01-18
There are some people who become anxious easily. For instance, a man who has to catch a train in the morning. Even though he uses an alarm clock he still does not sleep easily. There are other cases: A person who cannot sleep because of an exam the next day. A person who speaks without coherence and with a trembling voice in front of an audience. When busy, he rushes his work and always forgets something... -
Russia: An Elderly Lady Survives a Car Accident
2004-01-17One day, when Ms. Shu Na was crossing an intersection on a Boulevard, a car hit her and as a result of the impact, she was flung 7 or 8 metres. Her body was tossed around in the air after which she landed on her right side. At the moment, she said that her mind was very clear, and she vividly remembered a similar story mentioned by Master Li. As a result, she was not scared at all. -
Benevolence
2004-01-15Pure Benevolence (Shan) has no notions. It is a natural expression and the manifestation of one’s true nature. Pure benevolence is not fragile, yielding or intentional. It has no restriction or apprehension. Pure benevolence is the harmonious unification of matter and spirit. Pure benevolence encompasses and understands everything, and communicates with all matter and existence. -
Explaining the Facts to Relatives and Friends on a Return Visit to China
2004-01-02My husband, who does not practise cultivation, got through Customs first and kept looking at me nervously. When I smoothly passed through Customs, we held each other’s hands. I found that his palm was covered with cold sweat. I personally felt the terrible atmosphere caused by China’s persecution on Falun Gong. At all times, one has to face being locked up, sent to prison, cruel torture, spiritual persecution or even death merely because of practising Falun Gong. -
My Personal Understanding of Being in a "Maze"
2003-12-30Sometimes, when running into many problems at the same time, I felt very uncomfortable, as if my future was hopeless. In this situation, everything that came to my mind made me feel uncomfortable. At that moment, I just couldn’t let go of my attachments and take a further step forward. Instead, I was lost in my own feelings. -
From the Archives: My Feelings of Joy & Sorrow on Christmas Eve
2003-12-26'On Christmas Eve, I was thinking about the Dafa practitioners in Mainland China who have become destitute and homeless in the bitter cold of winter. Although I live in Sweden, which is far from China, I feel my heart is closely linked with the hearts of the Mainland practitioners.' -
“To Remember the Fa in Our Hearts" and “To Put the Fa into Our Hearts"
2003-12-25“To put the Fa into our hearts" refers to our attitudes, whether or nor we regard our work or even our daily behaviour as part of our cultivation, or whether we put the Fa into our hearts at every moment, regard ourselves as practitioners at every moment and cultivate ourselves by the standard of the Fa. Just like the fellow practitioner said in Golden Buddha, "Doing Dafa work for long periods of time without thinking of anything else does not necessarily mean that a person is constantly in a state of mind of what a Dafa disciple should be." -
The Basic Requirements of News Writing for Dafa Practitioners (Part 6)
2003-12-20For some of those who never obtained high-level education or those who had rarely written any articles, they might feel that it is hard to start writing and harder to write well. In fact it is not really so. The problem is that there is a notion that makes one feel this way. If you do not believe it, you can try to put your heart into learning to write, and then your writing skill is most likely to be better than what you thought it to be. If you feel that writing is difficult whenever you think about writing, you might indeed be blocked by your notion -
Basic Requirements of News Writing for Dafa Practitioners (Part 5)
2003-12-19One of the most notable characteristics of Jiang's persecution of Falun Gong is the spreading of lies. Jiang strives to justify, sustain and cover his persecution with outright and unchecked lies. The persecution against Falun Gong has become a plague upon the Chinese people worldwide. It is imperative and urgent for practitioners to expose the lies that justify and sustain the persecution, and to broadcast the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution, because the truth will help discourage the persecution and reduce the loss of lives. -
Basic Requirements for News Writing for Dafa Practitioners (Part 4): Focus on Pictures
2003-12-18The techniques and skills that are helpful for everyday people to understand the truth of Dafa can all be utilized by practitioners to increase the attraction and strength of our writing and pictures. What is important when Dafa practitioners clarify the truth is to use our hearts. Additionally our comprehensive and thorough understanding of the truth when we write articles is also important. Therefore, we don't need to go to extremes, and rigidly use or even attach to any one thing, because the formats are always secondary. By properly using the resources we have, we can double the effect with half the efforts. -
Explaining the Facts through Telephone Calls and Rescuing Fellow Practitioners in Mainland China
2003-12-18Me: "The Chinese Consulate here just avoids this topic when you mention Falun Gong. Many Falun Gong practitioners come to the Consulate day and night every day to do the exercises, hand out leaflets and display banners in order to stop the persecution. More and more people are giving support to Falun Gong and many western people also practise it. Some staff from the Consulate say words to satisfy the government on the surface but say Falun Gong is good privately."Man: (listening all along) "We are the same actually, we have to follow the government. You should try again to speak with the Chinese Consulate and get some information through them." -
Clearwisdom Commentary: Thinking with a Sober Mind and a Righteous Starting Point
2003-12-11In the process of exposing the persecution of Falun Gong in the past four years, many of our practitioners have gradually deviated from the starting point of validating Dafa and saving people in terms of their thoughts and actions. Strongly fluctuating thoughts on the issue of Falun Gong's welcoming Wen Jiabao among our practitioners have revealed some problems of our own, and our impure thoughts and actions have brought about an incorrect effect to society. This article aims especially at clarifying some major issues at hand, so that we can walk our future path properly, in hopes that all Dafa practitioners will pay attention to this matter. -
Basic Requirements for News Writing for Dafa Practitioners (Part 3)
2003-12-11The purpose of writing articles is to validate Dafa and clarify the truth. If you cannot get the attention of readers, then you will not achieve the powerful effect of a Dafa disciple's article. If you can take a little more time, you can write as if you are facing a group of people who are waiting to learn the truth from your words. They are not like you. You are very familiar with many basic facts, including how force-feeding becomes a torture tactic and how painful that would be. To them, these are very far away and very hard for them to imagine. -
Basic Requirements for News Writing (Part 2)
2003-12-10Some practitioners probably think that the persecution has been going on for four years and so has our truth-clarification efforts, so people should have had a considerable understanding of the truth by now. Sometimes, they write news report as if they are writing for practitioners who already understand the truth. Actually, for the past four years a lot of truthful information has been made widely known. However, our news articles are written mainly for people who need to understand or further understand the truth, so we need to keep everyday readers' characteristics in mind. -
Walking a Righteous Path: Handling Dafa Work and Study (Berlin Fa-conference 2003)
2003-12-09Attending school does take time. How could it be that it won’t impact Dafa work? However, as I gradually gave up my human notions through Fa-study, I decided that no matter how I think things should be, as long as Fa says I should do the ordinary people’s work well, then I need to attend school or go to work. From my subsequent experience of going to school, I found out that attending school will not have negative impact upon Dafa work at all. Conversely, doing Dafa work will not have any negative impact upon ordinary people’s work either.
