  • Moved to the Core

    When I first took the flute from Teacher's hand, I felt very timid. Why? I had been in musical circles for decades, and I knew it was not a simple matter to master a musical instrument. You have to start training every day from childhood, year after year, with strict discipline, and even if you do that, you may not have much success, much less a 60-year-old person like me with crooked teeth and unable to hold in air. It was not an issue of whether I could play well or not. I was not sure if I could even make a sound.
  • My Cultivation Experiences with the Celestial Band

    During the past four months I learnt that the band was not for the entertainment of ordinary people or for entertaining ourselves. Instead, it is a serious part of cultivation. We need to keep cultivating ourselves and give up all of our attachments in this special environment. Meanwhile, I also encountered some conflicts that I had not encountered before. I gained a much deeper understanding from these conflicts of certain aspects of Master's Teachings that relate to "checking inside," "always thinking of others first" and "tolerating and forgiving."
  • Our Mornings and Evenings Are Extremely Precious

    We are cultivating amidst ordinary society, so mornings and evenings are extremely precious to us. They are chunks of time that we have full control over without affecting our daily work and life. Diligent practitioners normally can utilise this time to study the Falun Gong teachings, practise the exercises, and send forth righteous thoughts.
  • The Wonders of Falun Dafa Made Me Believe That is it Genuine

    I didn’t pay too much attention then and didn’t believe her. This time, when she brought it up again, she told me to say silently every day "Falun Dafa is good," "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good," which would help cure my disease. Although I had doubts, I was desperate. In order to save the exorbitant surgery fee and be able to continue with the business, I felt I had to say these two sentences silently.
  • Denying the Interference from Affecting with Our Family Members

    On the other hand, although the entire family will benefit if a person practises Falun Gong, it does not mean that when a person practises Falun Gong, his entire family will become perfectly healthy and immortal or will no longer meet any karmic retribution when they do bad deeds. That would be a misinterpretation of the Fa. Everyday people will enjoy good fortune and pay back their karma based on the virtue and karma they accumulate.
  • Recalling the Days When Master Li Lectured on the Falun Gong Teachings in Shijiazhuang City, China

    From March 3rd to 10th, 1994, I was very fortunate to attend Master’s lecture held in Shijiazhuang City. Witnessing our Teacher teach the principles of Falun Gong and the exercises is the most precious memory of my life, something that I will forever remember
  • Family Experiences Miracles After Starting to Practise Falun Gong

    Ms. He, in her sixties, looks like a woman in her twenties. She is exuberant with relaxed yet dynamic movements. Many people envy her prolonged youth. Her whole family practises Falun Gong, and in fact, they started practising after the persecution, which started in 1999, had begun. This family has experienced many miracles.
  • Righteous Thoughts Show Mighty Power and Pure Hearts Manifest Wondrous Occurrences

    After sending forth righteous thoughts toward the clock for a couple days, I heard the sound of the clock in the afternoon. I checked my watch and saw that the time was not correct. I realised that because I had sent forth the righteous thoughts, the clock's program was no longer working correctly. The clock was broken and never produced another sound.
  • Cultivating Amidst Teacher's Infinite Grace

    Though my experiences look very ordinary and trivial, they clearly show the concerns and the difficulty Teacher has encountered in saving all lives in the cosmos. This knowledge gives me great strength and encouragement and makes it possible for me to walk firmly on the path of cultivation. It also helps me to strive forward diligently. I will definitely not betray Teacher's compassionate salvation.
  • My Understanding on "Gaining without Pursuit"

    Through this, I have realised that in the past, I was reading the Falun Gong teachings for my father with a heart of pursuit. What a dirty attachment it was! This was doing things with pursuit, for the sake of treating an illness, and it was to gain something from Falun Dafa. Later, when I no longer had the attachment of pursuing treatment from Dafa, or the attachment of doing this or that, when I let go of various attachments and studied the Fa with a pure heart and mind, the effect was naturally different.
  • Persecuted for Practising Something That Saved My Relative’s Life

    Her weight has increased from about 70 pounds to 100 pounds. She is also able to do some housekeeping. Before she was sick, whenever she cleaned the yard, she only cleaned a small area in front of her own doorway; now she cleans the whole alleyway daily. The neighbours have all witnessed how Falun Gong turned a dying person into an energised one and say that this is a miracle.
  • Communincation and Co-operation are Key

    When the conflicts grew, the coordinators did not communicate kindly with each other in order to resolve the problems, but rather rejected the advice from fellow practitioners and spread negative comments about the other coordinator among practitioners. Unknowingly, the unrighteous field was strengthened. In fact, all of these are barriers that the old forces have created by abusing practitioners' attachments. They are also internal conflicts.
  • Persistently Eliminating the Demon of Lust

    I thought to myself, 'I will definitely maintain my character the next time,' and I recited over and over Teacher's words from Zhuan Falun: "When it is difficult to endure, try to endure it. When it looks impossible and is said to be impossible, give it a try and see if it is possible." The second time, the same thing appeared in my dream. I still couldn't pass this test. After I woke up, I was very regretful again. I made up my mind that I would definitely pass the test the next time. So sometimes I failed the test, and sometimes I passed the test. I kept encouraging myself to persist, and eventually I made it through this trial.
  • Falun Dafa Cured My Niece's Deformed Hand and Healed Her Broken Spirit

    The doctor had no way to straighten her twisted hand, but it straightened itself out one week after she finished the Falun Dafa seminar. Friends and family were all amazed by the miracle - been able to use her beautiful hand once again! More importantly, Nongnong began reading the Falun Gong teachings, and joined group exercise practice. Her sad mood and the slowness in her speech and movements completely disappeared within a month. The once beautiful and happy young girl had re-emerged.
  • An Elderly Chinese Lady Still Cultivating Firmly Despite the Persecution

    In my district, there is an elderly lady who has always been steadfast in her cultivation. Throughout her cultivation she has met many people to whom she has exposed the lies made by the Chinese Communist Party to destroy Falun Gong. Here I would like to share her good deeds with our fellow practitioners.
