A Moment That Changed My Life
2005-08-01
When I was young, my mother often said, "Turning round is something not to be traded even for a thousand of pieces of gold." She told me to remember to turn round when I go out, in case that I might forget something; to turn round when I walk on the street, in case that I might miss something; if I do something wrong, I should courageously admit it; if I fall, I should pick myself up; remembering to regularly turn round to assess the things and people around me, because that is the most precious thing to have in life. -
A Chinese Lady's Experience of Coming to Practise Falun Gong in Austria
2005-07-29After reading Zhuan Falun quietly from beginning to end, I suddenly felt I was in another world. Many questions I had always held, for which I could not find the answers were suddenly lying right before me. I finally understood that the fundamental principles of this cosmos are Zhen, Shan, Ren (Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance). They are the highest attainment of the law of the Universe and the most fundamental law. These principles, Zhen, Shan, Ren are the criteria by which the cosmos judges good and bad. I came to see that to understand what is good and what is bad you just have to use these principles as a guide. -
Advancing Through Studying and Cultivating with Others
2005-07-26Then, I saw her entire body, all the cells, and her thoughts all focused on the word "eliminated." And the sound of the word "eliminated" broke through the roof reaching the sky. I was enthralled by her righteous thoughts, and my mind was a total blank. Suddenly, paper on the machine fed through smoothly the very moment she recited the second "eliminated." Wow! It really expanded my mind, and I really believe the effect of righteous thoughts now. -
Step Out of the Tribulation
2005-07-26I don't know why I had always felt I had encountered more tribulations than others. I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong four times, was sentenced to forced labour once, detained twice, and was abducted during the Chinese Communist Party's 16th National Congress. Though each time I broke out with the power of righteous thoughts, the tribulations kept coming, one after another. -
An Elderly Practitioners Experience In Learning to Use the Computer
2005-07-25 I asked a fellow practitioner to teach me how to use the computer and the printer. Surprisingly, after only four lessons, I was able to surf the web, read articles and download and print materials. Afterwards, through practice and with the help of the fellow practitioner, I learnt to do paper-loading, speed printing, toner adding, and fixing a clogged printing head. From then on, I was able to print pamphlets containing Falun Dafa facts, Minghui Weekly, Teacher's lectures, and even the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Watching flyers print out page after page, my tears kept falling. I never imagined that I would learn how to use the computer. -
A Fellow Practitioner Awakens and Holds Up a Piece of the Sky
2005-07-25Finally, I decided to cross the creek. The fellow practitioner desperately needed to read Teacher's article. Through reading this article perhaps the fellow practitioner could really step forward and help in activities to let more people know the truth. So in my mind I recited Teacher's article, "Tathagata," and dashed into the icy cold water on my motorcycle. My motorcycle's engine stopped in the middle of the water and I fell into the water with my motorcycle. I crossed the creek and went to the practitioner's home. He looked at my wet clothes with surprise and asked why I still came when I had to cross the water. I told him, "Teacher's new article arrived. Even if there were a bigger obstacle I would still deliver it." -
Making a Clean Break from Superficiality
2005-07-23I have realised that I have to break away from the surface level which means that I have to do whatever I am doing not simply because it is my duty but from a righteous understanding, participating in the projects for the right reason. This is often easy to say but may be difficult to put into practice. From my own experience, I know that it is easy to slide into a downward spiral and to simply continue the same way we did before the start of our cultivation. Only when we understand the principles taught in Falun Gong can we do everything from the heart and behave as true practitioners. -
Removing My Fundamental Attachments
2005-07-22With the help of an acquaintance of mine, I was able to recognise what I had done especially to my child and the burden I had put on her. She does not know anything about life yet and is longing for security, a role model, someone that tells her what is right from wrong. I recognised that I had to take charge and at last become a role model for her. I asked myself, what kind of role model had I been up to now and realised that I should not be surprised at all when Gloria cried a lot and was restless. She was my mirror image and showed me my innermost feelings, my restlessness, my chaos! -
An Touching Experience I Encountered Outside the Chinese Embassy in Frankfurt
2005-07-20Soon after I arrived a young couple stopped and started looking at the pictures. After reading the articles exposing the cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners currently taking place in China, the young man, with his heavy eyebrows raised high and his eyes wide open, simply asked: “Do you need any help or money?” I explained, “What I am doing has nothing to do with money or donations. I simply want to highlight the atrocities that the Chinese Communist Party has committed against those who practice Falun Gong, something which has been hidden from the people of China.” -
A European Practitioner's Experiences and Impressions During Her Visit to New York
2005-07-18For fourteen days I did nothing else than tell people about the persecution, advised them to read the Falun Gong books and to practise the Falun Gong exercises. I saw for the first time our esteemed Master and was able to listen to His lecture on Falun Dafa’s principles in person. Not only was this very moving but I also met many practitioners from all over the world with whom I could share experiences about my cultivation with. As I remember, the entire stay was a precious period for me. Only, that day in New York was something else and not in the least pleasant. -
My Memories of Gao Rongrong
2005-07-17Whilst browsing the Internet, I was shocked at seeing the photos of Gao Rongrong’s disfigurement. When I learnt that she had managed to escape from the hospital I felt happy for her as I believed that she would not be subjected to further persecution. I later learnt that she was caught again but I did not expect that the sad news of her death would come so quickly after her escape. It seems as if it were just yesterday when we were together studying the Falun Gong teachings and practising the exercises. -
A Westerner's Experience in Memorising the Falun Gong Teachings
2005-07-17Recently a fellow Falun Dafa practitioner asked me about memorising the Falun Gong teachings, and my experience with it. I passed on my experience, and realised that my experience might benefit others also. My limited successes will probably not inspire others, but my failures might be helpful. -
Practising Falun Dafa During this Special Period of Time
2005-07-16At first they and my co-workers thought that my Falun Dafa practise was just another quirk and they smirked whenever I was doing the exercises on the terrace during lunchtime. However, after I stopped smoking and using alcohol and drugs, some of them started to become interested in Falun Gong. By now, almost everyone in my firm has read the book about Falun Gong and our care facility has a practise site. My boss told one of my colleagues who has also started practising that he wishes more of the staff were practising Falun Gong. He once told me that he didn’t really trust me before, but that since I started cultivating, he feels reassured whenever I am on duty. -
A Miserable 2004 But an Auspicious 2005
2005-07-13From then on, I stopped taking the pills and no longer use my blood pressure gauge. In less than three months after I started to practise Falun Dafa, my health fully recovered. Upon seeing the changes in me my friends were very surprised, and they all complemented me on my uplifted spirit. Now I can pretty much do all the chores around the house. I walk briskly and do not feel tired even after walking five or six miles. My miraculous recovery has made me truly appreciate the goodness in Falun Dafa. -
A European Practitioners Cultivation Experiences
2005-07-12I first apologised to the reporters at the end of the film. We made some mistakes and the presentation wasn’t perfect, but in our defence, this was our first press conference. I explained that we had undertaken this by ourselves and that we only were involved in this to help the innocent persecuted people in China. After which, my nervousness disappeared and I noticed that the journalists’ demeanour held great sympathy. The environment changed and there was an air of compassion.
