  • Recollecting the Day's When I First Came Across Falun Gong

    February 26th, 1996, was the most unforgettable day of my life. On that day my husband and I were visiting Xifeng, where we spotted real treasure--the book Zhuan Falun. We bought it right away. During the New Year's holiday season, I did not go anywhere but continuously read the book. The more I read, the more I came to understand.
  • Looking Back on the Falun Gong Lecture Series Held in Yanjie City of China in 1994

    In both lectures, as soon as Master started talking, I would fall asleep, or my whole body would feel uncomfortable. Once the lecture was over, I would suddenly wake up. After returning home, I felt more and more energized. My body was undergoing amazing transformations. A section of my spine was irregularly large. I had arthritis in my leg, stomach cramps, sinus trouble and many more illnesses--all of which miraculously disappeared.
  • Conforming to the Ways of Society While Cultivating

    Eventually, through my continued study of the Falun Gong teachings, the Fa, I realized I was not behaving righteously. I came to understand that it would be better to maximally conform to the way of everyday people while cultivating instead of behaving like a lay monk or a nun. I realized that if I didn't come into contact with the general public, there would be fewer conflicts and fewer chances to improve my heart. Without tribulations I wouldn't be able to improve my realm and level.
  • Looking Inward, Cultivating Ourselves Well and Cooperating Harmoniously to Become One Body

    The whole body is unwittingly divided into small pieces if practitioners feel as if they can't resolve a conflict with a fellow practitioner or when practitioners isolate themselves from each other. Also, when we all treat projects in which we have no involvement as other people's things, the strength of the whole body is weakened. Moreover, when we fight over our different opinions, we further weaken each other's strength.
  • The Difference a Single Thought Makes!

    The other practitioner advised her to send righteous thoughts. Ms. Wang improved her understanding of the problem. After a period of sending righteous thoughts, the symptoms which had lasted for five years disappeared. It was only the difference of one thought!
  • Regarding Non-action

    Indeed I had given up a lot, but it did not make me improve, and I developed a lot of attachments. I wanted to be diligent, but I had a lot of obstacles. On one hand I wanted to let things happen naturally, but I then felt as if I was falling behind. I got stuck and was not able to put things into perspective. After pondering deep and hard, I came to realize that the root cause was because I practiced cultivation to benefit myself.
  • Climbing Out of the Abyss and Resuming My Cultivation

    I started to practise the exercises in the dormitory. A week later I developed a severe fever. I believed it was not sickness but was to cleanse my body. The next day I recovered. Two weeks later my tendency to easily get a cold and headache had vanished and many questions about life that I had always held were answered one after another. My stepping onto the cultivation path was one of the reasons I had come to this world. I had a chance to practise Falun Gong and so I treasure it.
  • Never Will I Forget Master's Grace

    During the first few days of the class, the illnesses that I had disappeared, including myocarditis, cardiac hypertrophy, edema of the face and feet, migraine headaches, joint pain, irregular menstruation, and frequent colds or flu. For the first time in my life, I felt what it meant to be completely free of any illnesses, I felt happy, fulfilled.
  • Can Not or Will Not?

    Later on I was unable to get up in the morning for the exercise practice due to some personal reasons. Sometimes when I did get up, I didn't finish practicing the exercises. At other times, I skipped sending forth righteous thoughts at midnight in order to get up in the morning to practice the exercises. I struggled for a while, but could not make myself do both. Then I started to look for excuses and neglected both.
  • Treating Fellow Practitioners with Compassion

    At that very moment I felt the compassion of a genuine Falun Dafa practitioner, which was peaceful, unintentional, in accordance with Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, beyond the realm of ordinary people's emotions, and not moved by ordinary people's attachments. She helped me to see that my complaints and accusations were against Falun Dafa's principles and wrong, and I was able to see them as shortcomings in my cultivation. I stopped complaining and was moved to tears.
  • Gradually Maturing in Our Cultivation

    My younger brother is a doctor of Chinese medicine and very well known locally. Many patients go to him for treatments. He often tells his patients to practise Falun Gong. He says, "My elder sister suffered from so many diseases and I treated her for so many years and was not able to cure them. She practises Falun Gong and has recovered from all of them. The best thing for you would be to start practising Falun Gong."
  • When You Feel Hurt, It Is Always Due to a Human Attachments and Emotion

    Why were we so indignant? Why did we have resentment? Why did we have hatred in our hearts? Why did we feel bullied? Why can't we be more forgiving? Why did we show displeasure? Why did we find it hard to forget the conflicts? Why...?
  • How I Understand the Concept of Righteous Thoughts and My Experiences Connected with Them

    I started to practise Falun Gong at the end of 1998. The first day I had planned to learn Falun Gong I awoke at 5:00 a.m. and immediately went to the practise site. When I did the five sets of exercises that morning I was thrilled. It was a kind of wonderful feeling that I had never experienced before.
  • From Hearts and Minds Uplifted: Conflicts Lasting Decades Are Resolved after Family Practises Falun Dafa

    I was reading Zhuan Falun at the time. I understood that only Falun Dafa could resolve the deeply rooted conflicts in my family, so on several occassions I recommended the book to my father. Finally my father started reading. Right away he changed. His 58 years of bad temper improved greatly. He started being tolerant, even during conflicts with my mother. His spirit improved, and all of us benefited. There were fewer conflicts in the family.
  • A Senior Citizen Shares Her Experiences of Practising Falun Gong in China

    I am 73 this year but people say I only look like I am 50. My skin is wrinkle-free and healthy, my teeth are good, and I am alert. I speak clearly and walk so well that even some young people cannot keep up with me. My husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandchild, relatives, and old classmates have seen the changes in me since I began to practise Falun Gong, and they have come to cultivate and become Falun Dafa practitioners one by one.
