The Principles In Falun Dafa Are Definitely Not the Same as Everyday People's Theories
2004-06-25
This misunderstanding comes from not studying the Fa well, which manifests as the frequent questioning of Dafa and causes the inability to righteously enlighten. When tribulations come, we don't look inside ourselves, and yet, we still expect miracles to occur. Since the book exists in an ordinary form--black letters on white paper--we erroneously think that Dafa is indeed a theory of the ordinary world. -
Two Incidents that Deepened My Understanding of the Importance of Clarifying the Truth
2004-06-23"The task is required by the County Education Bureau. They told us to show videos to students slandering Dafa as opposing 'superstition.' They will inspect what we are doing." Upon hearing this, I explained to him the possible negative results. I asked him not to do this out of incorrect thinking since this could lead to more than 1,000 teachers and students being poisoned and harmed, and himself being a historical criminal. He sighed and said, "I have to carry out the orders from those above me. There are no alternatives." -
A Great Moment
2004-06-23After the experience sharing, I learned that many practitioners in Qinhuangdao had done a lot to clarify the truth. Their strong determination and faith in Dafa moved me deeply. They had suffered from all kinds of persecution. Some of them were arrested on their way to Beijing to validate Falun Dafa, and they were beaten and detained; some were placed under high-alert surveillance; some were threatened with being dismissed from their jobs. However, facing all kinds of persecution, their determination in Dafa was not shaken. -
The Path is Difficult - We Need to Cultivate More Diligently
2004-06-21I realised that what I heard in the past few days had been mentioned by Master in the Fa. What Master has taught our Dafa practitioners are not limited to just these things! It looked like my effort in studying the Fa was not enough, thus at a crucial moment, I took a detour and wasted quite some time, and was not able to directly receive enlightenment from what has been taught to us by Master in the Fa. It might also have to do with the issue of being firm in one's belief. Master has told us that the test in this aspect will always exist until the end of cultivation. -
Relationships among Fellow Falun Gong Practitioners Should Be Free of Attachment
2004-06-21.When some practitioners worked together for a while, they would develop feelings for each other and would be reluctant to part with one another. I feel that other than sharing understandings of the Fa and cooperating with one another in our work, there should not be any personal relationships among practitioners. A true cultivator should not confine him/herself to such a narrow frame of mind and treat fellow practitioners differently, treating this one well, not the others, or being closer with this one and not the others. -
A Few Stories from Practising Outside
2004-06-19The second day I went out to practice, I really felt I was practising here and doing exactly what my fellow practitioners in China are suffering for the right do to. It is this exact environment to be able to practice and cultivate openly and freely that we are all working so hard to restore. Practising outside felt like a way of denying the persecution. It was the first time that I remember feeling so close to the practitioners in China, and I truly sensed that we are all one body that morning. -
Doing The Right Thing
2004-06-19Being truthful does not exclude controlling my tongue and does not give me license to be rude and unfeeling toward others. Being compassionate and patient, even with nosey or boring people is also “doing the right thing.” As in all uncomfortable situations, injecting a bit of humour or lightheartedness into a potentially confrontational encounter always helps a great deal. -
Only With Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Faith Can We Have Righteous Actions
2004-06-17Recently, symptoms of "illness karma" appeared amongst my fellow practitioners, including myself. There were two severe cases, of which one had to stay in the hospital, while the other, after going to the hospital and having a needle inserted, nearly lost his life. I will discuss these cases based on my current understanding. -
Heartening Days, Cherished Memories -- Remembering Teacher's Lectures in Jinan
2004-06-17The place for the first class in Jinan City was the small auditorium of the Shandong Young Cadres' College, on Jingshi Road in the Lixia District. There were several hundred people who attended. According to some practitioners, this was the smallest class Teacher had ever taught. However, Teacher did the same thing as he did for the other classes. He gave nine lectures in nine consecutive days and the tenth day was for answering questions. The classes ran for two hours per day and the fee was only fifty yuan for the whole lecture series. -
The Experience of Giving Lotus Flowers to the Neighbours of a Chinese Consulate
2004-06-15We have frequently been in front of the consulate over the past four years, which has more or less brought some inconvenience to the neighbourhood. Therefore, we decided to do something for the neighbours of the consulate. Many elderly practitioners were personally involved in making the paper lotus flowers. Through making and unfolding the flowers for an extended time, however, some practitioners' fingers hurt so much that they could not even button their clothes. Never before have I realised that the lotus flowers are so beautiful. -
Rectifying Our Standards
2004-06-15One day when I erected my hand to send forth righteous thoughts, I felt deep in my mind that sending forth righteous thoughts is a manifestation of Teacher's boundless trust in Dafa practitioners. Teacher bestowed this responsibility on practitioners! An extremely sacred and dignified power filled my heart. Yes, I thought, isn't Teacher's trust the most compassionate power bestowed on us and the most sacred praise? What excuses do we have to keep us from being diligent? -
Gods, It is Time to Awaken (Part II)
2004-06-13The police arranged a drug offender who had a severe conflict with Lao Li before to monitor Lao Li. Apparently they hoped he would give Lao Li a hard time. However, one day when the police and the collaborators were not there, the drug offender told Lao Li privately, "Be quick. Have a nap on the desk. I will watch for you." In those days, Lao Li only had three or four hours sleep per day. He was helping Lao Li! Since he had to accompany Lao Li every day and had a chance to listen to him, he realised Lao Li was truly a good person. -
Gods, It is Time to Awaken (Part I)
2004-06-11In reality, we have, at many times, still taken ourselves as ordinary persons and are trapped in human notions. Judging from the present situation, we are still far from what Master has required of the great Dafa disciples in the Fa-rectification period. Here I want to share my recent understanding on this issue with fellow practitioners. -
On the Attachment to Time and My Resulting Unemployment
2004-06-11I personally feel that there are some similarities between the "illness karma" of the elderly practitioners and the difficulty finding jobs for young practitioners. However, they all come down to the fact that old evil forces and dark minions are capitalising our loopholes in our cultivation. I have experienced the tribulations and difficulty of looking for a job so I would like to share my personal experience with everyone: -
The Lessons I Learned After Being Deceived by a Special Agent from China's National Security Bureau
2004-06-09He would also ask me for information from the website and at the same time, he used all kinds of excuses to "borrow" more than ten thousand yuan from me and gradually gathered my personal information. Then, he suddenly disappeared and I stopped hearing from him. Soon after, the practitioners with whom I was in contact, including the practitioners I introduced to him, were followed by people from the National Security Bureau. My cultivation practice and everyday life had also been interfered with.
