  • Only When We Truly Cultivate Can We Know How to Cultivate

    When we cannot find our attachment but all of sudden get a hint when studying the Fa with a calm mind, the attachment being hinted is the one; when we are keen to point out and fix others' attachments or argue with others, the thing that stirred our heart is our attachment; when we see two people arguing, the obvious attachment they exhibit is a reminder of our attachment; when a practitioner points out an attachment of ours and we feel uncomfortable, annoyed, or even feel a need to explain, then that is our attachment.
  • Following Master's Words and Saving More People

    My goal was to save the guards and officials. The common question they had for me was "You are old and should be wise. The government told you to stop practicing Falun Gong. Why didn't you?" Calmly I explained to them how many benefits I had obtained from practicing Falun Gong. Later I told them, "There is nothing wrong with the practice. I have to defend the practice and merely want a legal environment for it." They were speechless and silently agreed with me.
  • A New Life

    With more Fa-study, the Fa theories became more and more clear to me and gradually I stopped worrying about being persecuted for making truth-clarification materials. Then the images on the DVDs then became very clear. When I saw that the DVDs I made were delivered to many households by practitioners, I had mixed feelings. I felt that without Teacher's care, there was no way we could make such delicate DVDs.
  • A Story of Buying Shoes

    As I look back, when I said to the lady beside me, “What else can you do with 20 yuan?,” it showed my attachment of showing-off and implying that I was well off. When I said, “You can easily lose this amount of money playing mahjong,” That was something I said casually because actually, I had not played mahjong since I began cultivation. From this sentence, one could see my bad thoughts. Had I been able to recognize and let go of my attachment, the things that happened afterwards would have been different.
  • Returning to My Real Self by Exposing My False Self

    In "Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival 
at the U.S. West Fa Conference," Master said, "If you've fallen don't just lie there, get up right away!" This teaching allows me to recognize that being regretful about a mistake is not part of my real self. If we fail to do something, just do it now. Don't spend our time on regrets. Of course, it is important to look inward to find out what attachment caused the mistake, and then let that attachment go.
  • Salary Tribulation

    My husband saw me and whispered to ask if I was moved. I told him, “Yes, indeed, your father is so greedy.” My husband then said, “We are cultivators and Master has told us that anything that happens is a good thing because it happens during our cultivation. Do you still remember Master’s Fa?” I said resentfully, “Yes, I remember.” However, I still felt resentful because of my attachment to pursuing gain.
  • Letting Go of Attachments and Persuading People to Withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party

    Guided by Teacher's Fa I had the thought that being a Falun Dafa practitioner was most fortunate. Under all circumstances and to everyone who asked, I have answered with a smile, "Yes, I'm a practitioner!" Only on one occasion did I not answer "yes" to this question because of my human attachments, and I consequently failed to persuade the person to withdraw from the CCP.
  • Two Brothers with Different Fates

    After I spoke about the fabricated self-immolation incident and the history of the CCP political movements, before I even finished, this brother totally changed and had great disdain for the CCP. His entire family chose nicknames and declared their withdrawals from the CCP. My fourth brother also withdrew from the Communist Youth League. Even their six-year-old, whom I neglected at first, shouted for me to help him withdraw from the league.
  • Cultivating and Getting Rid of Attachments While Working in a Nightclub

    My attachment to lust was completely exposed. Due to the nature of my job, I am very attractive to young women, and am always chased by them. Actually this was also my expectation. Since I knew I still had an attachment that needed to be removed, I was quite righteous and refused all the invitations. However, there were also moments when some unexpected dirty thoughts occurred to me. I enlightened that they were derived from bad things that I had seen before I cultivated.
  • Plums in Winter Snow

    When the guard questioned a prisoner they thought was responsible, the prisoner denied it and was unwilling to own up to it. When a prison guard with the surname He, member of the training team and one of the guards responsible for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, heard that the other guard did not believe the prisoner, he was quick to say to the other guard, "If you don't believe her story, just ask Falun Gong; they won't lie."
  • Cultivating Falun Dafa: The Most Splendid Time in My Life

    I did the three things (study the Fa [the teachings of Falun Dafa], send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth about Falun Dafa and about the persecution to the world's people)as usual and increased the time I spent sending forth righteous thoughts. It didn't matter how badly my father treated me. When I clarified the truth to him, he would bitterly attack me if I talked about something that was not in line with his thinking. I just kept looking inward and let go of my mentality of complacency, showing off and accomplishing a task.
  • Passing Through Ordeals with Faith in Teacher and Dafa

    In 1998, while I was poor and sick, I heard the good news of Dafa. On the first day of watching Teacher's lectures on video, Teacher started to cleanse my body. Not long after I began the practice, my many chronic illnesses such as rheumatic arthritis, chronic bronchitis, low blood pressure, anemia, reduced blood platelets, all disappeared without treatment. Teacher pulled me up out of hell.
  • Clarifying the Truth at Construction Sites

    I once lived in a dormitory with several other workers. I brought along more MP3 players to let them listen to Teacher's Fa lectures. Some people just sat there and listened for hours. I knew a woman who worked at the site preparing food. She suffered greatly from arthritis, and every day she needed to take a lot of medications. I lent the book Zhuan Falun to her to read. After a week, she had finished the book and by then her arthritis had disappeared. There were also some workers who practiced the exercises with me every day. They gained healthy bodies and witnessed the miracle of the Fa.
  • From Starting My First Truth-clarifying Materials

    They tried to force me to "transform," saying that they would make my son leave the army, take away my salary, and do things to my relatives, etc., if I didn't. I put down fame, personal interest, and sentimentality. My heart was as peaceful as still water. I said, "Let it be whatever it is." They had nothing to say. They didn't give up, and called in some of my family members for a second time. My family cried and tried to persuade me. Since I had put down fame, personal interest, and sentimentality, my heart remained as calm as still water.
  • Being a Qualified Young Falun Dafa Disciple During the Fa-Rectification Period

    Although it was a simple task, I still did it incorrectly at first. I was somewhat embarrassed, wondering why I couldn't do such a simple task. A fellow practitioner saw this and explained to me how to do it correctly and encouraged me. I realized that what I was thinking about was not good, and I needed to remove it. Very quickly, I could independently and skilfully complete the task.
