The Past Year in Front of the Chinese Embassy
2005-12-07
From then on, together with other practitioners, we started to going to the Chinese Embassy to send forth righteous thoughts and do the exercises, come rain or shine. At the beginning the situation was very difficult. The Chinese Embassy staff reported us to the police and the police frequently came over. It rained quite often. Practitioners' had differing opinions, and I had tribulations of my own. It is a daily test of my character to see if I can keep up the activity in front of the Chinese Embassy. -
Tsing-Hua University Alumnus Tries to Persuade Hu Jintao: Stop Persecuting Falun Gong
2005-12-05From the afternoon of the 10th to the morning of the 12th, Falun Gong practitioners from nearly twenty different countries engaged in a petition near Hotel Adlon where Hu Jintao stayed, appealing for the termination of the persecution of Falun Gong. On the 11th of November, 2005, Hu Jintao paid a visit to such places as the Congress of Germany and the Premier's office. The following is my experience of that day... -
On Excuses and Evasions in Cultivation
2005-12-05When something happens, we may remain superficially peaceful, but in our minds we may have attachments that run rampant. In some cases, we know it is a test, but we still argue with others, while in our minds we say to ourselves, "I am not being attached. I just can not help arguing." But why do we argue if we are not attached? Doesn't the fact that we argue with others mean we are attached? -
Finding My Deeply Hidden, Fundamental Attachment
2005-12-03I did not learn Falun Dafa because I had illness or was unhappy with my life. When I practised other exercises for cultivating my body before, I did not know why I wanted to practise. However, when I first learnt about Falun Dafa, my heart felt so happy as if all my life I had been waiting for this. Thus, even after Master published the article "Towards Consummation," I didn't pay much attention to it. I believed that my intentions in learning Falun Dafa were pure. -
Earnestly and Conscientiously Practising Falun Dafa
2005-12-03I started to talk about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and told them the story about a young practitioner whose face was disfigured by electric shocks. I related the story where a fellow practitioner was sentenced to four years in prison just because she talked in a park about how she had recovered from illness through practising Falun Gong. After hearing these stories, the old woman changed her attitude and said to me, "You can go now." -
My Cultivation Experience
2005-11-30For a while, the material production sites sprang up everywhere like bamboo shoots after the rain. People in rural areas learnt how to use computers in four days. A 70-year-old woman learnt how to use a computer in two weeks, and then an 80-year-old senior citizen and students learnt how to use computers. I also began from zero, same as the other practitioners, knowing nothing. But our hearts were being led by Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance and we simply wished to let others learn the truth about the practice and the persecution. -
Master Is Always Beside Us
2005-11-30I read an article stating that a practitioner had given up cultivation because for a long time he could not see any supernatural things and thus he lost righteous faith in Falun Dafa. After reading this article, I felt it was such a pity that this practitioner gave up the predestined cultivation opportunity that happens only once in a thousand years, particularly when the Fa-rectification is near its end. With the many practitioners who cannot see things in other dimensions in mind, I would like to share my cultivation experiences. -
How Reciting the Falun Gong Teachings Improved my Cultivation
2005-11-29It was Master's merciful arrangement that totally changed my state. During the summer break of 2004, I had a practitioner-colleague come over to my home for a gathering. I mentioned my situation to her, explaining, "My heart is just like a boat that is unable to reach the shore. I always wanted to get closer to Master, get closer to Falun Dafa, yet I am not able to make it." I felt such agony. I only wanted to cry. -
Passing the Test of Positive Circumstances
2005-11-28What can we see from here? No matter if it was the bad environment that made the practitioners "transform" or the test of cultivating in a favourable environment that made the practitioners slacken in their resolve to be diligent, the key point is that we still have human attachments. -
How a Teenage Falun Dafa Practitioner Memorised the Book Zhuan Falun
2005-11-28School started early this year, so I had to take a giant step forward and commit to memorising twenty pages a day. I didn't have time to watch TV. I had memorised Zhuan Falun in its entirety by the morning prior to the first day of school. It took me 42 days to memorise the whole book, from July 9th, 2005, until August 19th, 2005, done with Master's help and support. -
Removing All Elements that Impede Our Advancement in Cultivation
2005-11-27Often, a person who speaks may not mean what he says, but the person who listens will take offence. When that happens, the environment will become tense, directly affecting one's emotions. This often happens when people start to joke. At first, the jokes are clean. But, when everyday people's corrupted notions creep in, the jokes begin to change flavor. They soon become cynical, infuriating, and ridiculing. The worst thing is when 'adult' jokes enter into the conversation, which greatly spoils a Falun Dafa practitioners' image. -
Manhattan, I Hope That We Will Meet Once Again!
2005-11-27Before I had a chance to react to her hug and her words, she had left. I suddenly understood. She was someone who had undergone much searching and refused to give up the search for the true meaning of life. Today, however, she found her answers and sense of belonging in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Not long after, to my surprise she came to our exhibit again. This time she brought two of her girlfriends with her. She gave me a big hug once again. -
Before and After my Husband Started Practising Falun Dafa
2005-11-25Soon, he had read all of them and learnt the exercises. He asked me to wake him up every morning to do the exercises. Before he was quite lazy, and never got up before 8:00 a.m. The most important thing is that he quit drinking and gambling as soon as he started reading the Fa. Through him I saw the supernormal power of Dafa and Master's benevolence. It was not coincidence that my husband started to practise as soon as I started the family-based materials production site. -
Some of my Understandings about Getting Rid of Attachments
2005-11-25Since I first enlightened that getting angry is an attachment, and determined myself to get rid of it, it's been over a month that I haven't argued with my wife. My relationship with my wife has been very good so far. No matter what happens, I look inside and try to dig out my shortcomings and attachments. Before, I would get caught up in the conflict, and instead of looking inside, I would blame my wife and find excuses for getting angry at her. Now I can see that I wasn't cultivating myself at all when that happened. -
Continuously Letting Go of Self While Assimilating to Falun Dafa
2005-11-24At first I met up with two practitioners. I gave them Teacher's articles. They told me that although they no longer did the exercises and studied the Fa they would not renounce Falun Dafa. Alas, they did not know what was happening elsewhere. "How great it would have been if you had come earlier. We would have not wasted an entire year." I was encouraged and decided to create an environment for group Fa study. At that time, the first Fa study group was established with the three of us. After that, I began to visit some of the elderly practitioners.
