A Cultivator's Story

The following is taken from the article "After more than 30 years of being a nun, she came down from the mountains to seek Dafa":

Xiaoling and I were chatting with a nun while waiting at the bus station. She said she had been a nun more than 30 years, and used to practice Falun Gong, but dared not practice now. When our conversation went further, we found out that she did not truly understand cultivation. We did not want to give her the Book (Zhuan Falun). Upon leaving, she stood up suddenly, almost shouting at us, "You are saving me but would not give me the Book?" We were stunned by her way of speaking and the longing in her eyes. We hurriedly took out Zhuan Falun and gave it to her. She took the Book quickly and put it inside her bag, all the while saying, "I will be sure to put it in a good place. I will not go back to Mount Wutai (temple). I will cook for my sister's family and study the Fa while they are all gone at work. No wonder I missed that bus when it came; I was waiting for you two."

News from China

There is a serious problem with China's economy. It is fair on the outside and foul within. There is something wrong with its dubious economic "growth," which drastically sacrifices common goals, such as fairness in society, environmental safety, and a just distribution of wealth. The financial system is doomed. The government falsely published a greatly lowered unemployment rate. There are complicated social problems. There is a glut of unemployment. The gap between the rich and the poor is huge. The moral standard is declining. Corruption is like a time bomb, which can ignite the economic collapse. A bubble economy is forming. The central government is having difficulty coordinating the localities. The collapse of the Chinese economy is only a matter of time. The preventive measures that the people of Taiwan should take are to know the truth and spread the truth. They should not get involved with a country where disorder reigns, and they should not go to live in a dangerous country.

The following is from "A Letter to Predestined People":

By using the media to proliferate propaganda, government officials are causing people to be against Falun Gong, and are thus leading them astray. Falun Dafa practitioners have been enduring persecution and unjust treatment for the past several years, but they are using grand compassion and tolerance to manifest the true realm of Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance. I hope that you have a kind, righteous heart and can understand the truth about Falun Gong, so that you can have a beautiful future.

The following is from the article "Making a Call to the Evil Police in China:"

I was getting nervous about making the phone call because I feared that they would not listen to me. My hands started shaking in the last few seconds of the conversation, and my whole body was tense like a stretched spring. Suddenly, I enlightened, "This is not me! The person who fears is not me. It is my postnatally-acquired notions, thought karma, and outside interference!" At this moment, what seemed like a big electric current flowed over me from my head to my feet. My "fear" problem is getting much better. I can enlighten to Fa principles during reading, but many attachments and the mentality of fear can truly be eliminated only in the process of validating Dafa.
