  • Attachment to Comfort is a Tribulation for Dafa Cultivators

    I feel that if one cannot practice the exercises in the morning, then this couldn't be a reflection of diligent cultivation. I have deeply realized that when I could not persist in practicing the exercises every morning, my cultivation state would become worse and worse.
  • On Getting Angry

    He has treated me this way, but how have I treated him or others in a previous life? Therefore, I must pay attention to my words and deeds. I suffered, but I endured it. He was narrow-minded and always got angry over trivial things. Actually, he has been my mirror to reflect my own narrow-mindedness and depression due to anger.
  • Attachment to Comfort Can Ruin Practitioners

    As I understand it, the pursuit of comfort and ease is a deviated notion. It exists in your own dimension, in your mind, understanding, and notions, and in your everyday living habits. It is like a shadow that exists everywhere. On the surface it seems so normal and does not draw any attention. But actually it is the worst one.
  • Enlightening to the Fa: Think Calmly

    I don’t think one needs to wait until the great disclosure of the truth. Even now, when one understands what true cultivation is, one should be ashamed about their bad behaviour and words. If these days anyone says he cultivates very well, he must not understand what true cultivation is.
  • One's Appearance Is a Reflection of What Is in One's Heart

    The elderly man, who had seen it all, was astounded by the artwork in the exhibition. When he learned that all the artists were Falun Gong practitioners, Mr. Suhl said, "To be sure, without a pure heart these artists will not have been able to produce such work. These works could not have been created by an ordinary person."
  • Rectifying Our Thoughts and Actions

    Several days before I realized this, I received phone calls from a stranger asking me for a date. Didn't my human attachments lure these demons? Actually, as genuine practitioners, we should dress neat and elegantly, making people feel that we are respectable, not desirable. We will shine wherever we go, because real gold always shines.
  • The Wisdom of Simplicity

    Thus, I enlightened that to live life well, one should be simple and take things lightly. Being simple is regular but not boring. It is subtle but not weak. It a kind of beauty that has original flavor and taste.
  • Buckets of Water Equal to Buckets of Kindness

    He asked him, "Uncle (a common Chinese term of respect used for one's elders), do you have any water available in your house?" The man shook his head with a wry smile. Just then the practitioner remembered what Teacher has told us:"With everything you should think of others--first think about others, and then think about yourself. " (Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia) So, he carried the buckets of water and poured them into the couple's water tank.
  • Changing My Bad Habit After Studying "Fa Teaching Given in Manhattan"

    By the driver's facial expression, I could tell that he was upset. I thought that it was not an accident that I met him and that maybe it was predestined relationship. The driver sighed. He was angry because his wife had run away with someone else. I asked him if he wanted her to come back to him. He said that he did because he loved her.
  • Taking a Closer Look at Unmarried Couples in Long-Term Relationships

    The modern variation on this concept arrises from the idea of the freedom to choose who you love and the freedom to have a relationship between an unmarried man and woman; this idea promotes today's moral decline and sexual freedom. The desire to marry is normal for a cultivator in ordinary human society but its occurrence must follow the traditional righteous way.
  • Improving Our Group Cultivation

    She threatened Practitioner D, "If you do not sign your name, your children's future will be damaged. They will have problems with college admission, serving in the military, travelling abroad, and a variety of other activities." Practitioner D was not moved by the threat. He clarified the facts to this person instead.
  • Master Is Always Watching over Dafa Disciples

    After some discussion we reached a consensus: we could used the incident of my sister being arrested to clarify the truth to the police to save them and rescue my sister. This is what we did: we called the relevant departments one by one and requested the release of my younger sister.
  • Do the Three Things Well Wholeheartedly

    Truth clarification is very important, but the premise is to study the Fa well. Otherwise, the effect of truth clarification will not be good. Sometimes my emotions surface or I am exhausted from doing other things, thus I would not have the motivation to clarify the truth. After studying the Fa however, I become clearheaded again.
  • My Joy in Cultivation

    Some people told me they thought that I had had a bitter life, and they were anxious about when my situation would improve. However, I don't think that way because I am a practitioner.
  • On Studying the Fa Well

    Studying the Fa well doesn't depend on how long you study, but that your mind is calm. You are assimilating to the Fa if you truly absorb the Fa. Meanwhile, the Fa will cultivate you. As the progress of Fa-rectification escalates, there's not much time left for us to study the Fa. I know Fa-rectification will end some day, and then so will our ability to study the Fa.
