Some Personal Understandings of "Taking Hardship as Pleasure" and "Tests and Tribulations"
(Clearwisdom.net) In the past few years, in some articles we have often read about "taking hardship as pleasure." This can be true for someone who has not practiced Dafa for long. He may feel it is hard when he is drowsy while reading the Fa; he may feel it is tough when he is in pain during the sitting meditation in the double lotus position; he may feel agonized when his fame, self-interest, and feelings are infringed upon; he may feel frustrated when he has difficulties passing a test; and he even may say that he is "taking hardships as pleasure" when he does Dafa work for a prolonged period of time. It sounds like he has reached a high realm, but this is still the realm of a human being! Only human beings can have the feeling of hardship. But for those of us who have cultivated in Dafa for several years, is this still the case?
Mighty Virtue Is Established In the Process of Denying Old Forces' Arrangements

1. Establishing Mighty Virtue

Dafa is Solid Like Diamond and Immutable, and Should Be First and Foremost In Our Hearts

(Clearwisdom.net)
A local practitioner was arrested last October. When other practitioners talked about this practitioner, one person said, "He was doing pretty well, but the evil here is too strong. It was quite good for him to do this much." I expressed my difference in opinion right away. Master said, "If you are a true practitioner, our Falun will safeguard you. I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe." (Zhuan Falun, Lecture One) My personal opinion is, if a practitioner is truly constantly in the Fa, doing very well, yet was arrested, doesn't it mean that Dafa can be harmed by evil? How can this be allowed?
