1. Welcome

Welcome to the September 2016 Falun Dafa India Newsletter.

It is important for us to keep our righteous thoughts and clarify the truth to the world. In the context of Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts Master has mentioned many times the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts in his lectures and articles. Master says,

"Let me tell you, all those who remain and that can persecute Dafa and Dafa disciples are due to our students themselves. Students who haven't taken sending forth righteous thoughts seriously: the evil in the dimensions that you are supposed to shoulder and be responsible for has not been eliminated. That's the cause. So you must take sending forth righteous thoughts seriously. No matter whether you think you have the ability or not, you should do it."
( "Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A.")

There is a special request.
Please copy the text below and send the petition to as many people as possible.

Hi,

I saw a Documentary recently titled 'Human Harvest' where they show in China, you can get any organ you want in a week's time. This is because they extract organs from innocent people who practice Falun Gong, a peaceful exercise and meditation practice that is banned in China by the Communist government.

The sad thing is that a lot of affluent Indians travel to China to get a liver, or kidney transplant. They don't realize that somebody is killed, so that they can live!

I just signed this petition. I think this is important, because it affects us all in some way. I would be grateful if you can sign and also forward it to your contacts please.

3. Some Experiences Looking Within

A Dafa Disciple in North America

(PureInsight.org) I would like to share two experiences looking within. Please kindly point out anything that is inappropriate.

Casting off Resentment towards My Mother

One day in 2008, my nephew came home after college graduation. Upon seeing the showcase in his room, he immediately became angry with my sister-in-law. His showcase had many car models, but my sister-in-law messed up the arrangement of the models while cleaning. At the time, I tried convincing my nephew that it was not a big deal as they were just car models. My nephew replied, “I pay careful attention to where I place my car models. Now that my mom arranged them randomly, people will think that I have no standards. I have told my mom many times to not touch my car models, but she never listens…”

Master said in Teaching the Fa at the Eastern U.S. Fa Conference,

“When two people have a conflict and a third person sees it, even that third person should think about whether there are any problems on his part—‘Why did I happen to see it?’”.

What should I look inwards for after seeing this event?

When I took my daughter to Kunming on July 20, 1999, my Mother took Master’s portrait, Falun poster, Lun Yu, and practice audiotapes from my home. After we returned, my Mother repeatedly refused to return them. I then told her, “If you insist on not returning my things, then you must look after and protect them.” She then told me that she had destroyed them. I got angry with my Mother and had several arguments with her. From that point on whenever there was a conflict between us, I always apologized. One year, my Mother had a stroke, which I thought was retribution for destroying Master’s portrait.

After witnessing what happened with my nephew, I now understand. As cultivators, we know to not destroy Master’s portrait, but ordinary people do not. Why did my mother destroy the portrait? Wasn’t she afraid that I would suffer persecution? Wasn’t she deceived by the CCP? Yet I was still resentful towards her. After I understood this, the deeply rooted grudge I held against my mother disappeared. This time I did not apologize to her, but she understood me and said, “You are very busy. Your father and I are doing well, so there is no need to visit us.” Previously, she would become upset whether I visited her or not. She always complained that I spent all of my time on Fa-rectification things and did not put enough effort into making money. When I changed, everything around me changed.

Cultivating Myself

A few days ago, when I was driving home from the Aviation Museum, another practitioner who was in my car told me that there was a practitioner who could meditate for hours but often swore at ordinary people. I wanted to say, “How could she be a practitioner? She has not reached the requirement in Zhuan Falun: ‘not hitting back when attacked or talking back when insulted’” Instead of saying this, I decided to look inwards. I cannot always cultivate others and never cultivate myself. I never insult people and did not do so even when I was an ordinary person, so what should I look inwards for?

At that moment, Master’s Fa in Essentials for Further Advancement appeared in my mind

"These problems have already become very serious. It would be good if they could manage to search within themselves for the things that they have been able to find in others."

After looking within, I found it. Although I did not insult others orally, I would do so in my mind. I was usually calm, but my state of mind became unstable when I encountered tribulations. Sometimes I would complain that the car in front of me was driving too slowly and then insult the driver: Why is such a stupid person driving such a nice car? Wouldn’t you have made it if you just stepped on the gas?

From this incident, I found my attachment to saving face, jealousy and not being strict with myself. I did not think that these things were important.

Master said in Zhuan Falun,

"We need to always have a compassionate heart and calm mind. Then when you suddenly run into some problem you’ll be able to handle it well."

Because I did not cultivate myself according to Master’s Fa, whenever I encountered a problem, my attachments would become aroused. I hope that I can strictly follow Master’s requirements for the remainder of my cultivation path.

4. Paying Attention to Practicing the Exercises While Not Sacrificing Fa Study

By a practitioner from China

(Minghui.org) Before the persecution of Falun Dafa, we would do the exercises outside at practice sites in the mornings, and practitioners could ensure having enough time for practicing every day. However, since the persecution started, we have lost our public cultivation environment. We now carry the great responsibility to validate the Fa and save sentient beings. For various reasons, many practitioners feel that they don't have enough time to do the three things. Therefore, some practitioners pay less attention to doing the exercises, and can't ensure making the time for practicing them every day, and may even practice them only once every few days.

In my opinion, there is no excuse for overlooking the exercises. Neglecting to do the exercises due to not wanting to deal with fatigue or pain may be caused by interference from the attachment to comfort. When we do the exercises, one's legs may be in pain and the arms may be sore. In summer we may feel it is too hot and in winter too cold. It is suffering that causes discomfort. However, cultivation eliminates karma, and so we have to suffer. How could we use excuses to avoid such a great opportunity? We should remove the attachment to comfort as quickly as possible. Diligently practicing the exercises every day is one way to eliminate this attachment.

Overlooking doing the exercises means we are not following the path arranged by Master. If we are not following this path, then we are walking the path arranged by the old forces and acknowledging them. Falun Dafa is a cultivation practice of mind and body, so we cannot emphasize only one aspect while overlooking the other one.

As practitioners need to form good relationships with their family members, manage social relationships, do their work better, study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts and handle all kinds of everyday things, time is very tight. We also wholeheartedly devote ourselves to letting people know the facts about Falun Dafa and saving sentient beings. Under these circumstances, it is difficult to ensure having enough time to do the exercises. Many practitioners reduce their sleep time in order to have enough time to validate the Fa.

When Falun Dafa was first introduced to the public, many practitioners emphasized doing the exercises at the expense of studying the Fa. In almost every lecture, Master emphasizes the importance of studying the Fa. As practitioners began to understand the Fa more, we began to attach greater importance to studying the Fa. However, some practitioners then only concentrate on studying the Fa. When it was time to do the exercises, they make the excuse that Master told us to pay attention to studying the Fa. This problem is there because some practitioners have not studied the Fa well. Practitioners should follow Master's requirements, study the Fa and do the exercises well. By replacing the exercises with studying the Fa, how could one say that he has studied the Fa well?

In terms of personal improvement in cultivation, we should strictly follow Master's requirements by both cultivating ourselves and practicing the exercises.

5. Being Tolerant of Others

By Falun Dafa practitioner Wenwu

(Minghui.org) Why does a practitioner need to learn to be tolerant? It is because tolerance is a prerequisite to developing benevolence. Without tolerance and forgiveness, a practitioner cannot exhibit the realm of benevolence.

Every human being has numerous character flaws. As a result, one is bound to make mistakes which inevitably impinge on others' interests, thus causing conflicts. Being tolerant can help us effectively deal with conflicts.

As the old Chinese saying goes, "The sea is able to take in all rivers because it has such a capacity." While we're in the process of becoming great enlightened beings with mighty virtue, how can we not be tolerant?

I often see practitioners criticizing each other: "Why did you do it this way?" or "You're always doing things unbecoming of a Dafa practitioner!" or "My goodness! You are so slow when it comes to learning new things."

When some practitioners talk to their children, they say, "Son, I talked to you about this many times before? Why do you keep making the same mistake?!" They tell their spouse: "Look at our untidy house! Why can't you clean it up a bit?" These rude, emotional outbursts demonstrate that we do not always follow the Fa in our actions.

Why can't we be tolerant of others? I think it's because we are too self-centered. We become upset as soon as others' behavior fails to meet our expectations, or when our own self-interests are being compromised.

Another possibility is that we are knowingly or unknowingly being affected by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) culture. While traditional Chinese culture teaches us to be tolerant and forgiving, the CCP has always encouraged us to fight and struggle, making it hard for us to be tolerant.

I used to make a lot of demands on my friends and family and got upset whenever they were unable to meet my expectations. Sometimes I did not outwardly express my discontent, but inside I felt unsettled.

Not being able to be tolerant and benevolent towards others is a big omission in one's cultivation. It demonstrates that one is still attached to being self-righteous, picky, demanding, blaming, and opinionated.

Failing to look inward and not paying attention to cultivating one's mind or character, are two of the biggest obstacles along the path of cultivation.

Teacher taught us to look inward whenever we encounter problems. But when we see others' attachments, we often fail to notice if those same attachments exist within us. Not tolerating others and always focusing on others' deficiencies, is not following Teacher's requirement of looking inward.

If we fail to clear away the filthy substances and attachments in our own dimensional fields, how can we expect to have the heart of great compassion or tolerance? It's just like the example that Teacher gave us about a bottle that is filled with filth. If it is thrown in the water it will sink to the bottom. But if you pour out that filth, the more you pour out, the higher it will float up.

Likewise, if we don't pour out the bad things in our mind and body, how can we elevate our realm? How can we improve?

If we don't elevate our realm, it will be like Teacher said:

"A wicked person is born of jealousy. Out of selfishness and anger he complains about unfairness towards himself." ("Realm" in Essentials for Further Advancement).

If we don't study the Fa well and are unwilling to endure hardships, or we don't use righteous Fa principles to get rid of our attachments, how can we possibly reach the state described by Teacher:

"A benevolent person always has a heart of compassion. With no discontentment or hatred, he takes hardship as joy." ("Realm")

A local male practitioner once got into a fistfight with his neighbor and both were injured. All of his neighbors knew that he was a Falun Gong practitioner, so his actions caused quite an uproar.

Most of the practitioners in the area immediately rejected him, thinking that he had damaged Dafa's name. But our local coordinator did not look down upon him in the least. Instead, he went to this practitioner's home to talk with him and invite him to the group Fa study.

This practitioner was very sorry for what he had done and felt ashamed. Since that incident, he has managed to control his temper and become a true cultivator, actively participating in various truth clarification activities.

Being tolerant towards a fellow practitioner demonstrates good character and often equates to saving him, as well as many sentient beings. Tolerance displays a cultivator' selflessness, his ability to look inward, and his ability to cooperate with others. Isn't this what Teacher wants?

In the state of tolerance, jealousy and the feeling of injustice naturally disappear. What's left is a calm mind and amiable demeanor.

No matter what mistake a practitioner makes, as long as he still has the Fa in his heart, we should not give up on him.

My view may be very limited, so please kindly point out anything improper.

6. Eliminating the Root of Slacking Off

A Dafa Disciple

(PureInsight.org) In recent years, I have been slacking off in cultivation. I frequently have the wish to become more diligent, but I just cannot. Especially when it comes to clarifying the truth in person, I no longer look for opportunities like I did in the past. I just do not want to open my mouth anymore. I also stopped mailing truth clarification materials. I distribute materials in my local region as a gesture, because I’ve sent them so many times in the past but feel that they have not achieved anything. Fellow practitioners have been making phone calls to clarify the truth, but I did not want to for a long time, and have just started doing this recently, because I felt that I did not have time. I did put some effort into writing articles though.

Why could I not become diligent? I looked inwards and found the attachment to comfort. I felt that I had worked on quite a few truth clarification projects over the years. Along with the pressure of the persecution, I felt physically and mentally exhausted. I began showing signs of aging. I became powerless, lethargic and felt that I was old, although I knew that I should not have these ordinary notions. I wanted to slow down and relax; I felt that I had some excuses. I thought that it was all right as long as I had a project to work on. I lost the sense of urgency and warmth. I thought that I could move forward slowly, as long as I was not left behind. I knew that this state was not proper, but I felt helpless and remained at this level for a long time.

Cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. One will inevitably fall behind if one does not advance forward. My state manifested in slacking off, but in reality, I had xinxing problems. It is not just about how much I do on the surface; how much I improve during the process is also important. This is the fundamental aspect of cultivation, because the things we do to save people on the surface can also be done by ordinary people. But they do not have a cultivator’s elements. We are assisting Master in saving sentient beings. Of course Master is saving people, and we are just helpers. However, we can cultivate our xinxing in the process and reach the standard set forth by the Fa, assimilate to Dafa, and become the beings that Dafa has created for the new universe.

One fellow practitioner once asked me whether I would still persevere in cultivation if our cultivation did not have the concept of consummation. I had no words of reply. I couldn’t help but ask myself, “Could I persevere onwards?” I could not. Why not? With this question, I was able to dig up the root of my problem in cultivation. Without the appeal of consummation, I would not be able to risk my life and persevere through the unprecedented cruelty of the CCP’s persecution. Cultivating for consummation is very normal. Who would not want to escape the three realms for eternal life? Higher beings would be happy for us. However, in today’s Fa-rectification period, only wishing for one’s own consummation is not enough, because one has not transcended beyond the old universe’s selfish attributes. Today’s cultivation in this righteous Fa is creating beings of the new universe, whose attributes include selflessness. Isn’t being attached to one’s own consummation selfish? Isn’t that a characteristic of the beings of the old universe? That being would definitely not be able to enter the new universe. Furthermore, we each correspond to countless sentient beings whose salvation depends on us. Of course it is Master who is saving them, while we assist, but if we cannot reach the standards of the new universe, our sentient beings cannot be saved. Thus Master hopes that we cultivate into selfless beings.

In recent years, I have also been doing the three things on the surface, but when I asked myself whether I did it completely for the sake of sentient beings, the answer was no. A large reason was for my own consummation. About this matter, I cannot lie and say pretentious words. I am not pure enough, nor have I reached a high enough realm. Even if I was saying on the surface that I was saving sentient beings, deep down I was hiding my own desire to consummate. Thus when I did the three things, my starting point was not righteous and my heart was not pure, so it was difficult to have righteous thoughts and righteous actions. I was afraid of falling behind if I did not do them, but if I did them, I was afraid of suffering and losing my own interests. In this state, moving forward was definitely a struggle. The persecution has continued for over a decade, and even though Fa-rectification has reached the end, the end has not yet arrived here and the persecution continues. Moving forward while lonely and awaiting the end of the persecution makes one feel that improving is very difficult. This is a result of the constraint of one’s own level, so one naturally slacks off. If one can reach a completely selfless realm, disregard oneself and put one’s heart towards sentient beings, one will definitely not slack off, because one’s realm is at that level.

Master has exhausted everything and suffered unimaginably for all the beings in the universe. Although we cannot reach Master’s realm, we must follow His requirements and cultivate into selfless beings. The reason for my slacking off was selfishness. When one’s own selfish goals seem unreachable, one will no longer have the motivation to be diligent and slacking off is inevitable.

Master has said in Essentials for Further Advancement II – Drive out Interference,

“The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts.”

Before Dafa, one is so unspeakably miniscule. In order to solve all problems in cultivation, one must look towards Dafa, study more Fa and study it well, dissolve oneself in the Fa, assimilate to Dafa, put in one’s utmost effort in doing the three things, cultivate oneself well, and put effort into removing the root of selfishness. Only then can one complete one’s mission and responsibilities, fulfill one’s vow, and live up to Master’s compassionate salvation.

The above is a part of my own understanding. Please point out anything inappropriate.

7. Developing the Habit of Looking Within

By Lianyuan, a practitioner from China

(Minghui.org) Looking within is a magical tool that Master gave us to advance our cultivation, yet even today, with the end of Fa-rectification so near, some practitioners still don't take this seriously. They have not formed the habit of looking within, let alone forming a mechanism for looking within. I have come across several such fellow practitioners. When faced with tribulations, they don't look at themselves for the cause, but instead look at others. Some defend themselves by finding excuses rather than looking within. If you ask someone faced with troubles or tribulations whether he or she has looked within, they may say, “I did. But I could not find anything,” and they may not say or do anything further about it.

To advance our cultivation and save sentient beings by clarifying the truth, Dafa practitioners must look within. No matter what problems or troubles we are faced with, we should not casually let them pass by or slip away right in front us. We should grasp the opportunity to look for attachments within ourselves and give them up. Actually, looking for an attachment is a bit like searching for a hidden time bomb within yourself. Once you find it and rid yourself of it, you will have elevated yourself, so the evil will not be able to reach you and the danger will automatically be defused.

Master picked us up from hell and cleansed us. He modified the originally predestined course of our lives so that we could cultivate. From the day we became Dafa practitioners, nothing has happened coincidentally. Even when we see others in arguments or fights, we need to look within and see whether we are still holding on to any attachments. As a matter of fact, if we consider everything from the standpoint of the Fa, there truly has never been anything accidental. Whenever we encounter troubles, we should take them as opportunities to advance our xinxing and look within, asking ourselves why we have these tribulations. For example, when a bicycle tire is punctured, when someone says something rude which makes you feel bad, when the electricity goes out while you are studying the Fa, when a water pipe suddenly leaks, when the CD copier suddenly produces a bad disc, when the printer head suddenly gets clogged, and so on, we should pause for a moment and search for any attachments that we may be still holding on to, or some loophole that may be present in our cultivation.

A Dafa disciple who is grounded in the Fa is not affected by anyone. Some practitioners are not in the habit of looking within. They tend to look at things superficially and thus miss opportunities to improve. If one doesn't look within in a timely manner, he is already not grounded in the Fa and is exposing a loophole that the evil may take advantage of. Isn't he in a dangerous situation then? Seemingly insignificant or small problems may evolve into big troubles or tribulations. One may later have to undergo greater tribulations to pass a test, or worse, one may not be able to pass at all.

I know many diligent practitioners. They all first look within at themselves whenever encountering problems and they won't stop until they have identified the attachments. Let us take Master's teachings to heart. We should look within, look within, and look within again, and let it become part of us.

I hope that we will all be responsible and cultivate ourselves by avoiding as many deviations as possible, so that Master will worry less about us.

This is my personal understanding. Please point out anything inappropriate.

8. Have We Genuinely and Solidly Cultivated?

By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners should use Dafa to rectify themselves and be Master’s disciples. We need to ask ourselves, “Have I genuinely and solidly cultivated?”

List of Questions That May Help Us in Cultivation

1. Do we link studying the Fa with cultivating our heart, or just take the Fa study as a formality and join into an irrelevant discussion after quickly reading one chapter in Zhuan Falun?

2. Do we take rescuing fellow practitioners being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as our obligation and selflessly support fellow practitioners in tribulations? Or do we just wait and watch indifferently?

3. Are we satisfied with reading only one chapter of Zhuan Falun daily, without reading Master’s other lectures or articles?

4. After the alarm awakens us in the morning, do we turn it off and fall asleep again? Can we guarantee that we can do all the five sets of exercises daily?

5. Do we participate in the global sending of righteous thoughts at the four set times or are we often interfered with by chores? Are there distracting thoughts when sending righteous thoughts?

6. When doing the three things, are we perfunctorily finishing assignments, or are we saving sentient beings attentively with a sacred and grateful mindset?

7. How much have we assimilated to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance? How much have we let go of attachments to fame, profit and emotions? How much have we let go of the sentimentality to our children, grandchildren, spouse and fellow practitioners? Have we achieved cultivating the heart and have we severed desires?

8. Are we still unable to tolerate criticism and easily driven by human attachments? When we are unable to uphold our xinxing and we lose our temper, some bad beings could enter our dimensions in less than a second.

9. Do we still want to hear praise? Do fellow practitioners tend to compliment each other? Do we still pursue fame? When seeing other practitioners' omission, do we avoid pointing them out for fear of offending them, but talk behind their backs without cultivating speech?

10. Are we still attached to fame, profit and career? We are the future enlightened beings who will have the same eternity as the universe and safeguard the universe. Of course, we should not go to extremes in terms of material gains. But what should Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples do at the last step? Ask your conscience and you will find the answer.

11. Have we let go of selfishness and egoism and achieved selflessness? Are we wasting lots of precious Fa-validating time on everyday peoples' things and thoughts, instead of doing the three things well?

12. While doing the fifth Dafa exercise, are we tranquil and in a state of deep stillness (ding), or do we fall asleep during the first half hour and grimace in pain over the next half hour?

13. As we cultivate, have we reached a state of an empty, quiet and non-action mindset? Or do we prefer to get together, gossip, look down on others, exclude some practitioners, and even take pleasure in other people's misfortune?

14. We should memorize “Lunyu” well. This will help us pass trials and hardships. Some practitioners believe that reciting “Lunyu” and filing legal complaints against Jiang Zemin are the two essentials for us to return to our real home.

15. Are we still attached to surfing the internet to catch up on celebrity gossip, fashion trend, drama, travel, health, food and watching TV?

16. Do we respect Master and Dafa in our daily behavior? After studying the Fa, do we just place Zhuan Falun anywhere? During our Fa study, do we take phone calls, drink water, go to the bathroom or slouch? Have we ever placed Master's photo with our family pictures? Every part of our daily lives needs to be rectified, as Master and righteous gods take our scores daily. The 16 years of cultivation is a test of our determination, perseverance and compassion. If we can truly cultivate diligently as if we just obtained the Fa, the universal Dafa is omnipotent.

17. Have we reached the state of cultivating diligently as if we just obtained the Fa? Are we advancing diligently and alerting ourselves or are we attached to comfort, relaxation and slacking off?

18. Are we still using conforming to everyday people to the greatest extent as an excuse to satisfy our attachment to food, and cook or buy whatever we like to eat? Have we achieved the stage of severing our palate’s attachments?

19. Have we eliminated our fundamental attachments? Are we cultivating for protection, a healthy body and happy family? Or are we cultivating to return to our true self, return to our origin, save sentient beings and fulfill our vows? Have we uncovered our fundamental attachments?

20. Looking at our cultivation state, are we making progress everyday and removing human attachments, or just the contrary? Do we put our heart into daily Fa study? Do we participate in group morning exercises? Can we stay focused when sending righteous thoughts? How much evil have we eliminated? How effective is our effort in saving people? Every part of our daily lives needs to be rectified, as Master and righteous gods take our scores daily. The 16 years of cultivation is a test of our determination, perseverance and compassion. If we can truly cultivate diligently as if we just obtained the Fa, the universal Dafa is omnipotent.

21. Do we take time every day to clean up our own dimensional field? This process is the continuous process of looking within according to the Fa. Looking inward is not just lip service. Can we get rid of all human attachments? As a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple, the final exam has begun. Have you genuinely and solidly cultivated? Are you worthy of the title?

A person with great ambitions must be strong and persevere, because he carries the great responsibility of upholding truth and justice, and he will never have regret even if he loses his life.

A truly virtuous man is courageous and steadfast in his belief and is known for his integrity in any environment and under any pressure. That is the most precious strength of character.

Can we firmly believe in and respect Master and Dafa under any circumstance? Do we have the indomitable will to practice cultivation? That is the most basic prerequisite for the Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples, and the noble character of future enlightened beings.

Master said,

“Cultivation is hard. It’s hard in that even when a terrible calamity strikes, even when evil madly persecutes, and even when your life is at stake, you still have to be able to steadfastly continue on your path of cultivation without letting anything in human society interfere with the steps you take on your path of cultivation.”
(“Path” from Essentials for Further Advancement II)

If we can be as solid as a diamond and walk on the path of cultivation without hesitation despite any hardship, then nothing can stop our footsteps to return home!
