  • A Baby's Recovery from Congenital Defects Awakens an Entire Family to the Greatness of Falun Dafa

    In our darkest hour, Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) gave us new hope. A middle-aged woman that I once practised the Falun Gong exercises with told us, "Many people recovered from illnesses when they recited, 'Falun Gong is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good.' Why don't you try it?"
  • My Understanding of What It Means to Be Kind As a Falun Dafa Disciple

    A 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

    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

    During 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

    When 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.
  • Discarding the Shackles of Fear

    Teacher told us in Zhuan Falun, "matter and mind are one thing." I felt that the matter of my fear continuously accumulated in other dimensions. Plus, the human notions I had formed in human society presented a barrier, wrapped me up as if I was inside a shell, controlled me, and made me unable to think independently. Although I studied the Falun Gong teachings every day, I was not able to break through the obsession of fear.
  • A Young Practitioner's Experience Sharing

    Today I read that Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang had detained more than 6,000 Falun Dafa practitioners to harvest their organs for profit. I shared with other practitioners and found some problems. Although it was already very late into the incident when we learned about this, I still hope that everyone can learn from our sharing.
  • Discovering Many Attachments While Purchasing a New Computer

    I did not listen as I thought I'd heard enough advice and that I knew enough about computers, so I didn't need to hear any more. (This was due to my attachment to self-approval and stubbornness. This is the manifestation of my attachment to self. The attachments were so strong and yet I still didn't notice.) In the end, I chose a Chinese brand. It's an expensive brand and the specifications are low, and they come with a lot of problems.
  • Practising Falun Dafa Gave My Father a Second Life

    Miracles happened. Father looks like a different person after six months. His once wrinkled, blackish, dark face glows with health. He is no longer so thin and his normal weight is back. Father used to be an introvert with few things in common with my cheerful mother. Since they practised cultivation together, their relationship has been better, and they’ve had more to talk about with each other.
  • Falun Gong Practitioner Nie Ge's Story -- People of Singapore: Please say "No" to Manipulation by the CCP

    After I was released from imprisonment, I heard about Nie Ge, a Falun Dafa practitioner in Singapore. I was saddened when I was told that she had her work permit and five-year Certificate of Social Activities (residency permit) revoked on June 2nd and that she had gone to Malaysia on June 5th, seeking asylum. I'm very worried about her current situation.
  • What I Learned from Getting Upset as Soon as Others Criticize

    My inability to take criticism also has its historical roots. I’ve always been the leader since I started working, whether it was a small unit or a large unit. And most of the units were organizations of authority. In addition, I was instilled with the Chinese Communist party (CCP) culture since birth. Hence, the inability to take criticism was deeply ingrained in me.
  • Letting Go of the Attachment to "My Happiness"

    Before practicing Falun Dafa , I didn’t have many dreams in life; I cared very little for fame and self-interest, and I could easily treat others nicely. However, I took "my happiness" very seriously. I once secretly made a resolution that I must study hard and leave the countryside; then I could rush about diligently to seek "my happiness." There is nothing wrong with this goal for human beings, but a cultivator should have a different goal.
  • It Is a Practitioner’s Obligation to Write Cultivation Experience Sharing Articles

    Some are unconfident of their writing skills, some consider their experiences unworthy of writing, and others are illiterate, etc. Despite all kinds of excuses, these practitioners have obstacles to overcome which have blocked them from sharing their cultivation experiences. The roots of the obstacles are that practitioners have not realized that it is a practitioner’s obligation to write cultivation experience sharing articles.
  • Cultivate Ourselves Diligently so as to Improve as One-Body

    Sometimes when mother refused to take my criticism, I would become very judgmental and reproach her, forcing her to admit her attachments and accept my criticism. Yet, with other practitioners, I would express my concern in a friendly manner, acceptable to them. If they didn’t want to listen, I wouldn’t pass judgment or hold a negative opinion of them. I realized the different attitudes reflected my sentimentality
  • A Retired Official: "I Threw Away My Walking Canes After Attending Falun Gong Lecture"

    I practiced all these Qigong practices diligently and persistently without any break, even when it was windy and rainy. Yet I received no obvious improvement from these practices. Most serious of all, I also suffered from osteoporosis and my bones were so weak that they could break very easily. I had suffered from fractures five times, the most serious of which happened in my left thigh bone in July of 1989.
