  • On Not Falling into a Low-Level Way of Thinking

    If each one of our thoughts are on the Fa, we will have very righteous thoughts, the thoughts of a divine being, namely, a high-level way of thinking; if we are not in the Fa, our thoughts will be on a human level-- notions, and attachments, namely, a low-level way of thinking.
  • A New Practitioner's First Experience Introducing Falun Dafa

    I was reluctant to participate in projects that validate the Fa. Actually, it was because I had fear and an attachment to comfort. Through this experience I understand that being a Fa-rectification Period Dafa disciple, my personal cultivation takes place along with my Fa-rectification cultivation.
  • Buddha Stories: Don’t Judge a Person by His Appearance

    “You should not have thoughts of contempt towards that monk. Why? Because he has already eliminated all kinds of attachments, with nothing left.... All of his heart is kind and his mind is free of pursuit. You can’t carelessly guess about others. Only a Tathagata is capable of inferring others.”
  • Reflections on Life: Good Fortune is Born From Thrift, Virtue is Born From Humbleness

    Virtue is born from humbleness. Being overbearing and speaking rudely will cause one to lose virtue to others for sure. In tribulations, we should remind ourselves to endure disgrace and abide by modesty and forbearance. We should be kind to others in all things, persevere, and one day we will be able to reach consummation for sure!
  • Missing My Hometown

    Maybe it is only the feeling of missing home that is real, and maybe what we really miss is our final destination beyond human society where we transcend our humanness and various attachments like fame and personal gain.
  • Let's Not Forget to Cultivate Xinxing at Home

    Husbands and wives are both practitioners, but treat one another with attitudes worse than with ordinary people. Some women practitioners would treat their husbands rudely with un-ladylike tempers. They behaved slightly better in front of other practitioners, but at home it was the same old attitude.
  • Understandings in Cultivation: Letting Go of the Attachment of Selfishness

    Therefore, I think that on the path toward godhood, regardless of what we do, we have to completely let go of selfishness and human notions. Only when completely assimilated to Dafa can we save sentient beings to the maximum extent and not let down Teacher's compassionate salvation. Only in this way can we fulfil our sacred, prehistoric vows.
  • New Falun Gong Practitioner: I Have Learned to be Kind and Forgiving

    When she learned that I knew only a few characters and had difficulty studying the Fa, she not only taught me to read, but also gave me an MP3 player. When I tried to pay her, she refused to take anything, and urged me to study the Fa and cultivate my xinxing (character, heart and mind nature).
  • Clarify the Truth, Save Sentient Beings and Walk the Path Towards Godhood

    Gradually my father and my children had righteous thoughts and no longer opposed me. Now when I am telling their classmates and friends the facts about Falun Gong and persuade them to quit the CCP, they also help me. Sometimes they help me to distribute materials. When I went out to distribute pamphlets, my son said to me, "Mom, please don't stay out too long."
  • Dafa Brings Me Endless Joy

    I always told our president that we should not do anything against our conscience and that we should make good quality products. I also advised him of the principle that good is rewarded and evil provokes retribution.
  • Turning a Bad Thing Into a Good Thing

    My husband also clarified truth to the officials in his work unit and the effect was good. The situation created by the CCP seemed to be a bad thing. However, we turned it into a good opportunity to clarify truth and save sentient beings through our effort of rejecting the persecution, believing in Teacher and Dafa and with our righteous thoughts and deeds.
  • Do We Know How to Put the Fa Principles into Practice?

    Studying the Fa is for understanding the Fa. And thus we can apply our understanding of the Fa to solve all things we encounter and solve all confusion in our thoughts. The Fa can extricate all of our worries and pain. Some practitioners also know to look inward, but do not understand how to look inward.
  • Udumbara Flowers Blossom in the United Arab Emirates

    Xiao Liu was a metal welder, and his job was physically demanding under the scorching sun. Since practicing Falun Dafa, he no longer complained about his job working under the extreme heat. When he let go of those attachments, he gained more energy and always felt a cool breeze blowing towards him under the heat.
  • A General Learns the Facts

    One time the general's wife told me, "Our living room has been rearranged, and the picture of the general and Jiang (Zemin) shaking hands has been taken down and destroyed." I felt very happy for them after hearing about this. I felt happy for the general and his family for choosing a bright future for themselves.
  • Compassion Can Change a Person

    She was very happy and said she would definitely start practicing after her release. She also told those around her that Falun Dafa was indeed good. There was someone who told her that he had pain all over his body. She told that person to recite "Falun Dafa is good." Afterwards that person also recovered from the pain.
