  • Understandings Gained Through Helping a Fellow Practitioner

    After realizing that I was too emotional, I decided to use righteous thoughts to view the problem. My attitude should be to help a fellow practitioner who was going through a tribulation. I should not view him as a family member, but as a Dafa practitioner.
  • Experiences in Memorizing Zhuan Falun

    At times when I feel discouraged in my cultivation, and even feel resistance to studying the Fa, I tell myself to start small: memorize one phrase, one line, or one short poem. One line at a time, we will undergo changes and assimilate to the nature of the universe!
  • Looking Within is the Key to Letting Go of Sentimentality

    I realized that what my son did to me was to tell me not to hold on to my feelings for him. I worried that he'd feel cold in the winter, and very hot in summer, or feel tired at work... My thoughts were completely focused on him. When my son was unhappy, I tried to see what was happening to him instead of looking within myself based on the teachings.
  • Becoming Mature on the Path of Being a Coordinator in China

    Also, a coordinator should ensure that responsibilities are assumed by appropriate work groups and evaluate everything from the viewpoint of the Fa. As I understand it, the coordinators should behave like the junior monk Master talks about in Zhuan Falun, the one who cooks and cleans up for the others, instead of like the senior monk who makes all the decisions.
  • How Time Flies! Hurry Up, Save Sentient Beings!

    A thought surfaced in my mind. "She came here for the truth and I can't let her miss it again". A few minutes later, she came up to me to talk. At the beginning, we conversed about our studies. Then I told her how the CCP has slaughtered the Chinese people as it instigated political movements and how it encourages fighting and slanderous lies, etc.. I also told her the truth about Falun Gong.
  • Becoming Confident in Clarifying the Truth

    Teacher has spoken about the importance of saving people on many occasions. We need to be patient and view this process as a great opportunity to eliminate our human notions and to improve. The first time we clarify the truth, it can be intimidating. The second time it is easier, and by the third time it becomes natural.
  • Life Turns Beautiful Because of Falun Gong

    Seeing that many people live just to prove their point or to save face and are deeply lost in the attachments of fame and self-interest, and that many are suffering pain due to their karma, I feel all the more how fortunate I am to have obtained Dafa and Master's benevolent salvation
  • Recite the Fa to Eliminate Fear

    The Chinese character "fear" consists of two radicals: "Mind/heart" (left) and "white/clear" (right), meaning that the heart is empty. When someone is afraid, is his heart empty? As a cultivator, when one is fearful, one will not be able to keep the Fa in mind and will exhibit signs of fear.
  • Practitioners Should Completely Eliminate the Root Attachment: "Selfishness"

    Things I can do, I demand others do as well. Things I can't do, I still demand others do. My thought was that it was for the benefit of others. I was convinced I was leading everyday people on the righteous path, and helping fellow practitioners to improve.
  • A Lesson Learned from Being Attached to Sentimentality to My Family

    I began to send money home without letting my husband know about it. My sister, also a Dafa practitioner, pointed out to me that I wasn't conforming to the Fa and that the money I sent home would cause misfortunes to our family. I didn't take her words seriously and even accused her of being selfish.
  • Be On Guard to the Attachment of Comfort and Ease

    Since this form of persecution is usually difficult for practitioners to detect, it is the most dangerous. The reason that many people practice cultivation on and off--or finally leave cultivation altogether--is that they fear losing their easy and comfortable life. The attachment to comfort and ease should be a danger signal for practitioners.
  • Western Practitioner: Eliminating Attachments While Traveling Across the Country to Clarify the Truth

    a gentleman that appeared to be a faculty member or security guard asked me what I was doing. I simply clarified the truth to him and he said, "That sounds like a reasonable thing to do," and he went about his business. I said, "Thank you, sir," and continued distributing truth clarification materials on the campus.
  • Thoughts from a Student Reunion

    A genuine practitioner should not put oneself above Dafa at any time. If we do not study the Fa deeply and gain a clear understanding of the Fa, we will weigh pro's and con's with an everyday person's mentality when doing Dafa work or encountering something.
  • Follow Teacher's Words and Return Home with Him

    I have been explaining the facts about Falun Gong and persuading people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations for several years. I have learned from experience that we can only save people when we study the Fa well, and have a compassionate heart. As long as we focus on the Fa, everything is done by Teacher.
  • Insights Gained on the Path of Cultivation

    If we hadn't gone that day and interacted with so many Chinese tourists, what a great loss it would have been! We really must treasure every day and the chances we get to save sentient beings. These chances have taken countless years to come into being--we must not miss them!
