After reading a recent article by a fellow practitioner about helping young practitioners clear away the gaming demon, I felt that this approach addressed the symptoms rather than the root cause. I would therefore like to share my own process of eliminating my attachment to gaming, in the hope that…
On the path of cultivation, if we do not genuinely cultivate ourselves according to the Fa, then when we encounter major trials or severe tribulations, we will not be able to get through them without the righteous thoughts of a cultivator. It is not enough to rely solely on fellow practitioners…
Today I would like to share some personal understandings regarding the recent occurrences of fellow practitioners experiencing the illusion of sickness karma and the passing away of some practitioners.
A few days ago, while eating watermelon, I accidentally bit the root of my tongue quite badly. A small lump, about the size of a grain of rice, formed there, and whenever food touched it, it hurts. As a cultivator, I knew this was not a coincidence. Biting the root of my tongue seemed to symbolize…

Among the twenty-four traditional Chinese solar terms, only Grain Rain carries such a dramatic and awe-inspiring sense in its very name. Ancient texts recorded a moment said to have shaken the cosmos, “When Cangjie created writing, grain rained down from the heavens, and ghosts cried through the…
A few days ago, a fellow practitioner gave me 4,000 yuan. I casually placed the money into a handbag. Several days later, when I needed the money, I could not find it. I tried hard to remember where I had put it after receiving it, but no matter how much I searched, I could not find the handbag.
Currently, the mighty momentum of the Fa-rectification has reached a point where its effects are becoming profoundly manifest at the most superficial level of human society. In Chinese society, those bearing the immediate brunt of this are evidently the wicked individuals who viciously slander the…
Master said in Fa Teaching Given at the 2016 New York Fa Conference, “desires are a bottomless pit! And these will lead people to become something unbefitting of human beings.” At my current level, I have come to understand that desire is the greatest obstacle preventing a cultivator from being…
Recently while studying Master’s lectures given in various places, I have gained a slight insight into the meaning of the word “cultivation”, and I would like to share with fellow practitioners.
For a few consecutive years, Shen Yun audiences can hear such words—"Follow Me to the Human World for Fa-Rectification" at the beginning of the show. (This year's first piece is "The Fa Rectifies the Human World", which, of course, is also part of Fa-rectification.) Some…
Recently, I’ve been feeling depressed, as if something major is about to happen. Let me look back at the actual events that have taken place around us this year.
Greetings, compassionate and great Master!
Greetings, fellow practitioners!
I obtained the Fa in 1997 and have cultivated in Dafa for twenty-eight years through many trials and hardships. Looking back, I feel deeply moved. It is our great and compassionate Master who has constantly held my hand…
During my twenty-seven years of cultivation, I had always thought that I did not have any fundamental attachments. At the beginning, when I stepped into Dafa cultivation, it was with the thought that Dafa could heal illnesses. But after reading Zhuan Falun once, I understood that Dafa is…

In recent months, my wife, also a fellow practitioner, started a new job, but things didn’t go well. Over the past month especially, she kept making mistakes. Her boss would assign one task, and she’d do something else, which infuriated him. She couldn’t understand why until one day he warned her…
In Journey to the West, the story of Tang Monk and his disciples enduring 81 trials to obtain the scriptures from the West illustrates the path of spiritual cultivation—how one attains true enlightenment through enduring tribulations. But today, how many people truly understand what the word…
Recently, The New York Times has published a series of articles defaming Master and Shen Yun. This is a carefully orchestrated event, with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) serving as the mastermind behind it. The old forces have used infiltrators among Falun Gong practitioners to systematically…
In 1998, I had the privilege of attending a Falun Dafa cultivation experience sharing conference held in Europe, where I was fortunate enough to listen to Master Li Hongzhi giving a lecture in person. When Master said in Teaching the Fa at the Conference in Europe, “let me tell you that science is…
Persisting in memorizing the Fa has been an essential part of my Fa study for years. So far, I have memorized Zhuan Falun twenty times, and I am currently on the sixth lecture of my twenty-first round. Persisting in memorizing the Fa helps improve my Xinxing through the process. This is because Fa…

People who come into this world have all memories of their past lives erased. Lost in ignorance and confusion, amidst endless suffering, they gradually develop an instinct to seek benefit and avoid harm, striving for fame, fortune, and emotions in the present reality to gain temporary happiness and…
I read the Minghui.org feature article "Our Master" over and over again, letting my tears flow freely. Only our Master has such compassion that can transform hearts and souls, and such great grace that can shake the universe.
The term “test”, as the name suggests, refers to the process of evaluation and examination. It is a commonly used noun. However, when applied to our Dafa cultivation practice, its meaning transforms, taking on a sacred and solemn connotation.
In the article The Ordeals Our Spiritual Discipline Faces published in June 2024, Master said, "And for this reason things that spell enormous pressure for me, as well as burdens for me, will keep coming, one after another." Within just six months, the evil forces have carried out one…
Master clearly stated in Wake Up, "The Fa’s rectification of the Cosmos has finished, and now a transition to the Fa’s rectification of the human world is taking place." As we approach the end of the year, many significant events have occurred amidst the chaos of the world, including the…
When studying the section on 'Jealousy' in Lecture Seven of Zhuan Falun, Master said, “And even among people who are sincere about spiritual practice, you sometimes see people being disrespectful of one another. It’s easy for jealousy to creep in if you are still competitive.” When I used…
My profound realization is that through memorizing Zhuan Falun, Hong Yin, and new lectures, my wisdom has been unlocked. Memorizing Fa during the tribulations has also added a lot of righteous thoughts and confidence to myself.

The topic of visiting is quite normal for ordinary people, but it holds a different significance for practitioners. For practitioners, visiting means saving people, spreading the truth to save sentient beings. It also involves studying the lectures together at a fellow practitioner's home,…
Master said in Teaching and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa Conference, “If you do well in cultivating yourselves it will have a bearing on major things in the future cosmos. The process of Dafa disciples' personal Consummation is over, but as my disciple, as a Dafa disciple,…
I have had a strong fighting spirit since I was a child, which also led to difficulties in guarding my character during cultivation. In the process of digging deep into my own attachments, I discovered that I have a mindset of fighting with others at every turn.
In the past few days, I have noticed that my daughter is no longer as obsessed with her phone as she used to be. Now, she only uses her phone for assignments or occasionally when she is tired of doing homework. Sometimes, she does not even want to use it at all.
After reading a fellow practitioner's article titled 'Neither Envy nor Praise, Detachment and Moderation,' I agree with their understanding that praising others should be done with caution. Flattery is certainly not appropriate, but even when it is genuine and heartfelt praise, it…
After reading the article “Flattery and Demonic Interference from One’s Own Mind” published by the Minghui Editorial Board, I was deeply touched. I realized that there have been similar manifestations in my own cultivation journey, as well as around me. From this, I would like to share some…
I was so excited when I read Master's latest scriptures that I shed tears after reading it. My first thought was that Master has experienced so many difficulties! It’s not easy! As a disciple, I did not do well, which is too disappointing. After studying the Fa for a few days, I calmed down…
I was fortunate enough to obtain the Fa in 1997. I remember those days when I first obtained the Fa. Through studying the Fa, I learned that I could become a "Buddha." Later, in the Fa, I realized that the infinite gratitude I felt towards Master was the result of Master pulling me from…
Master said in What is a Dafa Disciple, “Of course, be this cosmic law as it may, compassion is a trait of righteous gods. That is not to say that simply wishing to do some good counts as compassion. When someone is seized by a whim and acts on it, that doesn’t count as compassion. Rather, in that…
Master said in 2018 Fa Teaching Given in Washington, D.C., “Every Dafa disciple aspires to become a true cultivator, someone who is steadfast and solid in his cultivation as he travels the path to divinity. But for some practitioners that’s just a wish, as their minds haven’t reached that spiritual…
Master said in Zhuan Falun, “Because one is lost among everyday people, one will often develop in one’s mind thoughts for fame, benefits, lust, anger, etc. Gradually, these thoughts become the powerful thought karma.”
The most difficult thing about cultivating is not being able to find where the attachment is. Sometimes you cannot find it, and sometimes you have clearly found it and deceived yourself into thinking it is not the case.
Master said in "What is a Dafa Disciple" (Fa Teaching Given at the 2011 New York Fa Conference), "As for saving sentient beings and clarifying the truth, a lot of people haven’t done it in depth. They’ll say just a few words to people, thinking ‘Listen or don’t listen, just do…
Greeting compassionate and great Master, fellow practitioners,
As early as in the Undisturbed in Tribulation from Hong Yin, Master said, “Righteous Fa spreads, Hardships piled upon hardships. Myriad demons block, Perils exist within perils.” Thinking back on how we assisted Master to rectify the…
Before this lunar year, I had a thought: New Year is coming! I should collect fellow practitioners’ greetings to Master and post them on Minghui website to express disciples’ respects and gratitude towards Master.
My father-in-law passed away in October last year, and my mother-in-law lived alone in the countryside farming. Recently, my mother-in-law called and asked my husband to go back to the countryside to help spray pesticides.
Confucius said, ‘To hear something and then spread it indiscriminately is the abandonment of virtue. ’ (In Chinese: 道听而涂说(Dao Ting Er Tu Shuo)，德之弃也(De Zhi Qi Ye).This quote is from ‘The Analects of Confucius, Section: Yang Huo.’
Everything seen with our eyes may not be true because we have a pair of eyes limited to this material world and based on a concept of seeing is believing. As we all know that all phenomena in human society are illusions. Our eyes see it and provide information; but the information is false. A…
Recently, through studying the Fa, reciting the Fa, and practicing, I realized that I still have two major misunderstandings in my cultivation. I wrote it down to share with fellow practitioners, with the intention of improving together.
Master recently mentioned that more than 400 million people died during the three-year epidemic, which caused a sensation all over the world. Many friends used various data to calculate, but no matter how they calculated, it was difficult to come up with such a huge number. Some Dafa disciples also…
