Help With Morning Exercises

Dan Alfjorden said that he struggled for years to wake up early on workdays to do the exercises. He used the excuse that he had to work late, but he often felt tired during the day. Before bed one day, he suddenly realized, “I never asked Master for help from the bottom of my heart. I cannot break through this state solely with my strength and habitual way of thinking.” He asked Master to help him.

The next day, his younger brother contacted him and asked if he would like to do the exercises with him every morning. He knew that this was Master’s response to his seeking help. In the past year, Dan’s father and older brother passed away, and the entire family was immersed in sorrow. Dan hoped that his mother would resume practicing Falun Dafa. He wanted to do the exercises with her, but was unable to.

He and his younger brother decided to do the exercises the next morning. Their mother and another practitioner who struggled to persistently do the exercises joined them. During the first week, Dan said he experienced various changes. For example, while discussing with his daughter issues that had remained unresolved for a long time, he said, “I was calmer and I was able to listen to her. I could take her concerns and feelings seriously.” He said he “Truly wanted to help her, for the benefit of her and not myself.” The issues were ultimately resolved.

He also discovered that his mind became clearer after he kept doing the exercises. He was no longer forgetful like he was during the past year, and he was able to clearly see his attachments. He realized he was afraid of others pointing out his mistakes and had fear of others being unhappy, “These actually reflect my fear of making mistakes. When other people do something I think is wrong, I should voice my views without fearing what others think.”

Master’s Arrangements Are the Best

About nine years ago, Susanne from Germany and her husband researched Falun Dafa and discovered that the practice not only had books that teach people to cultivate their hearts, but also exercises that cultivate the body. The couple decided to start practicing Falun Dafa.

In order to accurately learn the exercise movements, they woke up at 4:30 a.m., and with their four-year-old son walked for two-and-a-half hours to the closest train station, rode the train for over two hours, and came to the exercise site in Berlin that was over 200 kilometers (124 miles) away. This was the closest exercise site to where they lived. Regardless of the difficulty, their hearts were filled with joy. After learning the exercises, Susanne felt full of energy and said the joy seemed to have permeated every cell in her body.

She learned about the forced organ harvesting and how practitioners were being persecuted in China when she attended an information day event. She kept thinking, “How could such a wonderful practice be so brutally persecuted?”

After she returned home, she visited the Minghui website for the first time to check out the persecution-related sections. She saw an open letter and learned how a 66-year-old practitioner who had passed away several months prior was illegally detained for over four years and subjected to various kinds of torture because she refused to renounce her faith. While suffering all kinds of torture, this practitioner still always put others before herself. After she read this, Susanne thought, “Falun Dafa must be extraordinary.”

She sat up all night and read numerous reports on Minghui. She experienced the wonders of Falun Dafa, and learned, “Countless practitioners who also know the wonders of Falun Dafa are detained in China, and they are tortured. How could this happen? Why don’t people talk about it?” She had a myriad of thoughts but was clear on one point, “The entire world must know about Falun Dafa.”

She later experienced several challenges, including translating the English Minghui Report: The 20-Year Persecution of Falun Gong in China, and to eventually establishing a publishing house and publishing the Minghui Report and other books. She overcame multiple challenges to drive a thousand kilometers (621 miles) from Northern Germany to attend the Fa conference in German-speaking Switzerland last year.

Because she initially heard about Falun Dafa and learned the exercises at an information day in Zurich she felt “Master’s compassion and grace, and great arrangements,” she said. “Master has definitely already arranged everything, and I just need to have firm faith.” While putting this into practice, she felt time and again, “The absolutely great opportunities to assimilate to Dafa and improve xinxing are exactly Master’s arrangements.”

Experiencing Master’s Support and Encouragement

Roberto said he knew that Master arranged for him to join the Tian Guo Marching Band. After joining the band, he had many opportunities to cultivate his mind and remove attachments. Starting from shopping for an instrument, he noticed his attachment to judging others. He later realized, “Master let me buy this trombone to give me an opportunity to further remove my attachments to showing off and reputation.”

While learning to play the instrument, he discovered that he wanted a quick way to learn but ignored the importance of building a good foundation. This not only let him see his laziness and pursuit of comfort, but he also found areas of his cultivation that were not solid. After he removed his fear of losing face and understood that he should focus on being kind, he was able to hit a high note that he previously could not hit with the instrument.

Even though he constantly practiced the instrument, he wasn’t used to practicing in front of others. Just as he felt unable to control his thoughts and emotions, he realized, “This is where all kinds of attachments are connected to each other like a sticky black web, with one attachment nourishing another. It is like an independent organism, that as long as I notice it and treat these substances as myself, it can sustain its existence. I looked inward and thought of the sacred mission I had to fulfill, so I let go of these substances.”

When he practiced the trombone outdoors he was applauded, and this gave him opportunities to tell people about Falun Dafa. He thought, “Whenever I try to do well, Master encourages me to keep going and I feel I’m walking on the correct path.”

Ten months later, he participated in a parade for the first time. However, he suddenly could not produce any sound. He looked inward during the break, “I saw my attachment to wanting to play well. I completely forgot why I wanted to be part of the Tian Guo Marching Band. I was only thinking about myself and I wanted to play well and avoid making mistakes. This omission allowed the old forces to take advantage and have a negative effect on me.”

When he played after he removed these attachments, he said, “I no longer heard the sound of my own performance—instead it was as if the sounds of all the instruments blended into one. I realized that this was the impact of forming one body. Every person is considerate of others and they don’t want to stand out.”

Motivating Each Other To Be Diligent

The 19 practitioners who spoke at the conference ranged from an elderly person who was nearly 80 years old to a 10-year-old practitioner. The practitioners had varying occupations and life experiences. Many practitioners said they felt inspired by others’ cultivation experiences.

Multiple practitioners who talked about their experiences said that their sharings were not only a recollection of their cultivation journeys, but also a process of looking inward, and more so a report to Master. They also hoped to encourage other practitioners by sharing the support given by Master and the power of Dafa that they personally experienced.
