- 2. What’s Happening?
Practitioners from Nagpur organized 4 days of activities in celebration of World Falun Dafa Day. The general public was invited to learn the exercises and read the Dafa books together with practitioners. Some video films were screened and practitioners explained in the local language. An interactive workshop was conducted with school children and they were asked to write the Lunyu and draw the Falun. Some new practitioners shared their experiences.
Practitioners from various cities participated in the Ahmedabad Book Fair. There were a lot of enquiries to learn the exercises.
Practitioners from different cities have left for the Nepal Book Fair. This is the first time that practitioners are venturing into Nepal and you can watch out for their experiences after the Book Fair.
Practitioners from Bangalore are planning to have a two day session at one of the schools in Bangalore where they are doing the exercises regularly and some Fa study.

- 3. Only by Letting Go of Who is Right and Who is Wrong Can We Truly Cooperate Well
By a practitioner in Canada
(Minghui.org)
I used to only work for the Epoch Times in my spare time when I had a full-time job. However, I resigned from my job two years ago and started working full-time for the Epoch Times.
While working as a reporter, I felt a bit unbalanced in my heart towards certain fellow practitioners, and always managed to look at what others did not do well and never truly faced my own problems. I thought that I was cooperating well because I did what I was told. So each time a conflict arose or my heart was moved, I would just accept it, but still felt resentment inside. The latest incident gave me a warning and helped me understand that only by improving one's xinxing and stop focusing on who is right or who is wrong can we cooperate better.
My editor recently asked me to do a job, which I believed was quite difficult for me. In the past, we would approach this situation with various measures, but this time, the editor insisted that I should just go and do it. I got really angry and refused. I’m sure each of us could find an excuse to fit our own circumstances, and we might even try to find Fa principles to justify our own views. My heart was deeply moved at the time, and I felt I could not take it. I failed to keep up my xinxing and lost my temper.
I thought of how others were not treating me well, how unfair they were towards me and how I should argue with them. I realized that this was because each time I felt unbalanced in my heart and had a fighting mentality, I did not let go of such attachments. The problems then slowly started to accumulate and form strong thought karma.
So I started to send forth righteous thoughts towards these bad thoughts that were pointing the finger at others, and denied that they were mine. Each time, shortly after I sent forth righteous thoughts, the thought to argue with others appeared in my mind again. So I sent forth righteous thoughts again to eliminate it. As soon as this thought appeared in my mind, I would immediately eliminate it and keep my mind in a calm state. I had not cleansed myself this way for a long time. Each time I sent forth righteous thoughts, I felt that I could strengthen my righteous belief, and it also helped me to strengthen my main consciousness so that I could see even more clearly which thoughts were not my own.
When I first started to write this sharing article, I still had feelings of resentment towards fellow practitioners. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts, but still felt a bit unbalanced deep down inside. So as I was writing, I started to describe the situation, how I was thinking and what was causing the problems. Then suddenly, I stopped and realized that I was still moved by those bad thoughts and was still unable to extricate myself from trying to figure out who is right and who is wrong. I thought: “As a cultivator, if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. When I find a problem, I should just correct myself. Why do I still try to justify myself ? If someone can help me improve and point out my problems, isn't that a good thing?”
Master said:
“Don’t argue left and right, and don’t emphasize who’s right and who’s wrong. Some people are always stressing that they’re right, but even if you are right, even if you’re not wrong, so what? Have you improved on the basis of the Fa? The very act of using human thinking to stress who’s right and who’s wrong is in itself wrong. That’s because you are then using the logic of ordinary people to evaluate yourself, and using that logic to make demands on others. As gods see it, for a cultivator to be right or wrong in the human world is not important in the least, whereas eliminating the attachments that come from human thinking is important, and it is precisely your managing to eliminate those attachments rooted in your human thinking as you cultivate that counts as important.” (“Fa Teaching Given in Manhattan”)
I realized that I had not let go of resentment in my heart, and still thought that others were in the wrong when conflicts arose. I believed that I was cooperating by not arguing. But I was never able to relinquish my attachment and held on to my opinion about others. I always believed that I was in the right and failed to see that my heart was moved. As a result, I felt quite content as long as I could find fault in others. In retrospect, I was only fooling myself.
Now I realize that very often when I believed others were in the wrong, I was in fact judging others by my own understandings. We must not use what we have enlightened to in the Fa to measure others, but to use it to measure ourselves. Why do we get angry or complain when we see others' shortcomings? Why do we feel wronged when we think we are being treated unfairly? In fact, we should look inward instead of thinking about how wrong someone else was.
Master said: “...even trivial things might set off big arguments. Afterwards your spouse will be confused over his or her loss of temper. As you are a practitioner, you should be clear as to why that kind of incident takes place: It’s because that thing came—you are being asked to pay for your karma. To resolve such incidents, you have to keep yourself under control during those moments and mind your character. Be appreciative and thankful that your spouse has helped you pay for your karma.” (Falun Gong, 5th Translation Edition)
The editor made a rule at a later meeting, which was to keep a record of the news she had arranged. But I refused to do it. I then realized that the reason behind this was because I did not pass the test the last time, so this time it was an even bigger test. As I was very clear about why this happened, I remained very calm and did not say anything.
This time I was able to eliminate the bad thoughts I had about how others, and I also realized that if I do not let go of my attachment to jealousy, it would be very hard for me to embrace and be tolerant of others. I also found that I have a strong attachment to self-protection, which also created the division between myself and fellow practitioners.
From this lesson I realized that having strong righteous thoughts and looking within should not be just words. True cultivation does not rest on how many Dafa projects one is involved with, much less on the titles and the roles that one has in those projects. Solid cultivation means that throughout our life's journey of cultivation, whenever we come across conflicts, either amongst everyday people or practitioners, whenever we encounter things that touch our hearts, no matter who is right or who is wrong, we can look inward and try our best to find out where we have fallen short and which attachments and notions we still harbor. Then we should try our best to restrain them and eliminate them.
Master said: “I hope that you all cherish yourselves, cherish others, and cherish this environment that you have. Cherishing the path that you travel is cherishing yourselves.” (“What is a Dafa Disciple”)
I did not really understand what cherishing others and our environment meant. But I've come to the understanding lately that how we handle ourselves, and how we treat others and our environment, is a reflection of our realm. As we improve our xinxing, we will be able to further enhance our capacity to embrace the things around us.
To cooperate does not mean to only obey arrangements by the leaders, and only by letting go of the mentality to arguing who is right and who is wrong can we achieve better results in what we do.

- 4. Eliminating the Barrier That Blocked My Ability to Look Inward
By a Dafa practitioner in China
(Minghui.org)
Yesterday, after my father and I each caught a train home, I sent him a message and then turned off my cellphone. When I called him up this morning, he was enraged, “I thought you had an accident, why didn't you leave your cellphone on? (He forgot he had received a short message from me)
My father is a fellow practitioner who is experiencing sickness karma. During the 10 days he spent in the hospital, we exchanged our cultivation experiences with each other. But he has a lot of human thinking, although he is aware of some problems, and can also think of Teacher's related Fa, he cannot let go of his notions. I was illegally detained once, so when my parents cannot find me, they become so anxious that they feel angry with me.
When this occurred, I thought that I should look inward: “Do I think too much about myself, unable to understand the feelings of others?” However, as soon as I had this thought, another thought came: “How could he be this way? How could he think such a negative thing?” Then another thought came up, “Find my own shortcomings...” However, negative thoughts appeared again: “These negative things are imposed on me. It was a waste of time sharing with him for so many days...Why couldn't he look within himself?...This is a real barrier...” So, I went over my thoughts, looking for inadequacies within myself.
Finally, I found one thing, a living thing, which stopped me from looking inward. Although, I was clear-minded and rational, and knew that I was wrong, why was I not able to look within myself 100 percent? Instead I was always looking at someone else's behavior. What was the thing dragging me to look outward? Why did it affect me and what role did it play whenever I encountered conflicts? I found that its name is “look-outward,” and that it blocked me with obstacles. Previously I didn't treat it as a spiritual entity, I treated it as my own thinking and actions, making it difficult to look inward to find my attachments - always 30 percent my fault and 70 percent someone else's. When I wanted to blame myself 100 percent, it violently struggled in my head until I used great strength to finally eliminate it.
I began to think that I should consider this “look-outward” as an entity that truly exists. After it was completely eliminated, I found that whenever I looked inward, everything was smooth and peaceful, that no opposing thoughts appeared, and that I didn't even look at the behavior of others.
I'd like to remind fellow practitioners that when you look inward, do not let “look-outward,” this kind of spiritual body, interfere with you; and that after you have eliminated this interference, you can then truly find your own attachments.
As far as this matter of mine is concerned, I came to realize that I did not try to understand my father's psychological burden and pain, and neither did I sympathize with his dwindling memory due to old age, causing him inconvenience and to be muddle-headed. Although he has been cultivating, his realm is different and his capacity is different. As a Dafa practitioner, I should be able to accept and understand others' deficiencies. Meanwhile, I should be more considerate. For example, I should, when getting on my train, call up my parents to let them know where I am so that they won't worry about me.
Cultivation is a gradual process. Nobody can get to the moon in one step. I must have a patient mind and should require myself to do well.
Thank you, Master, for letting me have this opportunity to understand such issues.

- 5. An Analysis of Wild Thoughts Stemming from Emotion
A North American Practitioner
(Minghui.org)
We know from the Fa that all beings in the Three Realms are soaked in emotion. As for cultivators who have had the wish to transcend the Three Realms, some still indulge in their emotions and linger in their own thoughts of self-pity or other feelings. Their pace of cultivation has slowed down. This even occurs to elderly practitioners, whose emotions are not supposed to be as strong as those of young folks.
This article analyzes different wild thoughts that stem from emotion. The purpose is to help shed light on the source of such thoughts so that cultivators can get rid of the interference.
Pursuit in Emotion
There are both positive and negative sides to emotion. The negative side entails a part that is selfish, whereby people expect returns.
Once people think that they have not gained the deserved return or response, they feel upset. Hatred or resentment can emerge out of love. Among people, one of the most common complaints is: “I was so nice to him, yet he treated me like this!”
It is irrational to pursue such behavior from others. For example, some people are used to their parents being very nice to them. If their parents neglect their feelings on a few occasions, they may become very negative. They take their parents' niceness for granted. Even though parents have taken good care of them for decades, a few incidents may cause resentment.
This occurs between couples as well. On the wife's birthday, the husband may present her with a gift as a nice surprise. This is good. However, if the wife asks for a specific gift and is angry if the request is not fulfilled, the result is different. When the pursuit is too much, it indicates greed.
A person who doesn't know what satisfaction is will be unable to appreciate things. No matter how much he's given, he doesn't think it's enough and is unable to appreciate what he already has. How can he then appreciate his surroundings and others? This is usually the reason for resentment among family members and couples.
Such human attachments exist among cultivators as well. Don't we see some practitioners making requests to Master and essentially asking Master to save them in their preferred ways?
Since emotions go hand in hand with pursuit, then when a pursuit is either fulfilled or unfulfilled, a person may feel either happiness or pain. Any pursuit is a loophole in cultivation. Driven by emotions, beings driven by pursuit are unable to determine if the result of their pursuit was brought about by a Buddha or a demon.
Illusions from Emotional Pursuits
Human beings are often controlled by emotions. Single people fancy lovers and how they will love and take care of him/her. Married people, especially women with young children, often complain about their spouses.
Hardships are common in life. People seek beautiful moments in their memory, literature, or movies and commemorate the moments as eternity. They listen to love songs to obtain comfort. Some even look for satisfaction from movies or TV dramas full of illusions and obscenity. Many even use such illusory moments as references and standards for their love affairs.
If you ask an ordinary person what happiness is, he or she may well search his mind for some movie or TV drama scene.
Driven by emotions, people don't know what they really want. If one doesn't abandon the pursuit of love between a man and a woman, one will continue to hold onto one's standards of an ideal lover.
The above is just my own analysis on wild thoughts from the perspective of the human level. We can only gain more clarity on emotions when we are beyond the Three Realms.
On our journey of cultivation, if one cannot withstand loneliness in a few decades of human life, one will easily arrive at the conclusion of “true love” once one encounters someone he or she admires. If the person is unavailable, one then imagines that the person is perfect and then lingers in sorrow.
If the person is available and the two end up being together, the excitement doesn't last very long. This is because once the pursuit is satisfied, the excitement is gone. After some time, such wild thoughts may crop up again in relation to another person.
From the perspective of a cultivator, no matter how good a person is, it's still just niceness in the human world. It's not beyond the realm of humans.
Focus on Eliminating the Demon of Lust
Men don't have the emotional dependence as women do, so they may not have as much interference from emotions as women do. For male cultivators, eliminating the demon of lust is key.
Once one makes up his mind to stop using one's sexual function in the human body, existence becomes very simple – just using one's life to cultivate.
Our demands and standards for living become quite low. The pursuit of fame and personal gain becomes redundant. Vanity becomes weak, as there isn't much drive or motivation to gain any positive impressions from the opposite sex. Many human attachments disintegrate after letting go of sexual desire.
In this light, what problems can a marriage or divorce solve? None.
Because cultivators know the requirements of the Fa, we are not going to make severe mistakes. However, if the desire is not completely relinquished, then one may watch pornographic images or videos. The demon of lust controls people to feed into lust. Then, the attachment is harder to eliminate. The misbehavior of a cultivator in fact strengthens lust.
The male sexual organ is not completely under the control of our main consciousness. I have observed this during my process of getting rid of my desire. A lot of physiological responses are simply built-in functions of the human body.
Some practitioners want to marry other practitioners because they think that practitioners are purer than ordinary people. However, sometimes the human attachments of cultivators manifest in the same way as ordinary people's.
Master said in “Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference:” “A pure young girl, an innocent girl, is really hard to find nowadays.”
All of China has become this way. A lot of men's lust is out of control nowadays. Non-practitioner husbands with a strong sexual desire are really dragging female practitioners downward in their cultivation. Ordinary people's sexual techniques completely erase the solemnity of a cultivator. Those female practitioners who still want to marry non-practitioners, please reconsider the issue and be responsible for your cultivation. Dating is not as simple as just holding hands.
Cultivating a Pure Mind
Humans live in emotion just like fish in water. If a fish had to adjust to living on land, it would be painful. Therefore, even though we are clear on the principles, emotional thoughts may still pop up in our mind.
When we see fish swimming, it may appear that it is due to the motion of the fish, but they are affected and pushed by the flow of the water. Human beings have never been able to control their own minds.
When we have a pure mind, we will be able to suppress the energy and influence of emotional particles with which our bodies are permeated.
Compassion is different from emotions. It doesn't contain any selfish pursuits or expectation for a reward. Compassion is achieved by getting rid of human attachments.
Master said in “Fa Teaching at the 2009 Washington DC International Fa Conference:”
“The greatest manifestation of shan is compassion, and it is an expression of tremendous energy.”
Please allow me to end this article with a quote from Master's lecture “Teaching the Fa at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific Students:” “So then for a human being what's the meaning of life? It's to experience the feeling you get from being attached to self-interest and enjoying the course of a human life soaked in emotion. Think about how pitiful that is, and what kind of feeling that really is. They're happy when they get something and miserable when they lose it; when they eat meat they find it tasty, and when they eat candy they find it sweet... but in the human world there's also bitter, biting, and painful things, there are the feelings young people have which come from emotional attachments, and then there are the feelings people in different social strata have as they chase after, gain, or lose things over the course of their lives--even though those gains and losses aren't something that really come from effort. That's how people are when they live in this world. People are so pitiable! And yet people just can't see through this so-called "reality," nor do they want to.”

- 6. Cultivation Story: Learning to Sit in the Lotus Position
By a Falun Dafa Practitioner in Shandong Province
(Minghui.org)
When I started to practice in 1997, I could not sit
in the lotus position (both legs crossed). I could only sit in
"half-lotus" with one leg crossed, and my knee was high in the air. I
admired those veteran practitioners sitting with both legs crossed. My younger
brother was practicing Falun Dafa too. Whenever he came to see me, I asked him
to sit on the knee that was sticking up. However, once he sat on my knee, my
body leaned to the left.
After a month, I still couldn't sit with both legs crossed. Then my mother
sent a message asking me to come to her. My father had died, and she was living
alone in our rural hometown.
When I arrived, my mother cried and said: "Your uncle's family
encroached on our inherited land." I would have fought with them before I
practiced Falun Dafa, but now I understand that karma exists in all social
affairs. In addition, I remember what our Master said:
"As a practitioner the first thing you should be able to do is not
fight back when you are beaten or sworn at--you must be tolerant."(Zhuan
Falun)
I persuaded her to take it lightly and to remember that it is only a small
portion of land. I told her to let him have it because we don't plan to build a
house in our hometown.
Just as Master had said, when that trouble arrived it was really painful, and
it was hard to treat myself as a practitioner. However, once you truly regard
yourself as a practitioner and recall what Master said, you will pass the test.
"When it is difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it's
impossible to do, you can do it," (Zhuan Falun)
I passed this test.
When I was meditating that night, I suddenly felt that I could lift my right
leg into the lotus position. I sat with both legs crossed for over half an hour.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt as if I was covered in a cloud of white
light. It is hard to describe how comfortable I was.
Since then, I can sit with both legs crossed.

- 7. Get Rid of Hard-to-Detect Pursuits
By a Dafa disciple in mainland China
(Minghui.org)
As we elevate in cultivation, we become more sensitive and aware of our human notions and attachments. Sometimes as soon as they emerge, we can detect and get rid of them. But some are hard to recognize. Because we are not aware of them, they can cause us trouble. One day a practitioner was coughing and had all of the typical symptoms of a cold. I asked him, “What's going on?” He said, “I got this way after I pursued something.” I asked, “How so?” He said: “I went to pick up some things yesterday. The seller said, 'It's very easy to catch a cold in this type of weather.' I agreed with him, 'Yes. It is very easy.' Not long after I said that, I started sneezing and had a runny nose.” As we were talking, the practitioner realized that a cold was the result of karma and had nothing to do with the weather. After he denied the symptoms with righteous thoughts, they disappeared. I often hear practitioners who are businessmen say: “I don't care how much money I make from my business. I am a cultivator. I don't pursue money. The purpose of my being here is to clarify the truth and save people.” That sounds very noble, but when we look closer, we find a hidden pursuit. Saying that a business is not for making money goes against the principles of the human world, and this thinking will leave a gap for the old forces to take advantage of. The old forces will then try to keep you from making money, or they will make you lose money. Many of the businesses owned by practitioners are not doing well. Perhaps the owners need to rectify some of their notions. Dafa disciples are blessed. If we have a righteous mind, human principles shouldn't restrain us. Some practitioners say: “According to the industry standard, my store will lose money in the first year, break even the next year, and start to make money in the third year.” Some practitioners know that this is only human thinking and try to deny it. However, they cannot completely negate it and so somewhat passively accept it. This is especially the case when their businesses aren't doing well. They use this standard as a reference. The old forces can see the hidden pursuit very clearly. As a result, they interfere and make the practitioners' businesses do even worse. Dafa disciples certainly should treat saving people as the top priority. However, making money isn't equivalent to having an attachment to money. Money is useful in maintaining a stable life and validating Dafa. We shouldn't give the old forces an opportunity to persecute us financially. Having a lot of money is fine. The more money we have, the more money we can spend on Dafa projects. Once, a practitioner made a careless comment when seeing others with sickness karma: “I rarely burn off karma.” He spent the next several days in discomfort. One of the reasons for the discomfort was that he hadn't cultivated his speech. The deeper reason was that he hadn't changed his notions. He had evaluated the cultivation state of others from the standpoint of his human attachments. When practitioners talk among one another, such remarks are often heard: “Look at you! You don't seem to age at all. You still look so young.” Then the other party responds modestly: “No way. I am getting old. Look at me. I have gray hair and am losing my vision.” I personally think that practitioners should cultivate away such ordinary human modesty. Such responses can easily invite aging, causing one to age prematurely. In other dimensions, everything is alive. If you acknowledge and reinforce that you are “old,” this can actually make you old, increase your wrinkles and gray hair, and deteriorate your vision. Our cultivation school cultivates both mind and body. We need to clean out the demon of aging, sickness, and death from our field. When our cells are replaced by high-energy substances through our cultivation, we should look younger and better. I carry my cell phone in my top pocket. A practitioner told me: “Cell phones emit radiation. It is not good for your heart.” I asked, “How do you know?” He said: “I used to carry my cell phone in my top pocket, too. After a while, I experienced discomfort in my chest.” Master said, “There are many Dafa disciples involved in doing scientific research. During experiments involving bacteria, when their hands accidentally got close to where bacteria were, it was discovered that the bacteria all died.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia”) If we put a cell phone there, can the cell phone kill bacteria? Of course not. In addition, our hands and bodies carry high-energy matter. Everything we touch shines. Our bodies are continuously assimilating to Dafa. The radiation of a cell phone cannot affect us. However, once a practitioner thinks that it will cause an illness, the illness will come. The practitioner will then experience discomfort in his chest. Master said: “I have said that matter and mind are one thing.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia”) Once we acknowledge a principle at a certain level, it will manifest at that level. The evil's persecution is pervasive. Every understanding of ours that is unrighteous may invite trouble. For example, some practitioners have made comments about other practitioners who wrote the so-called guarantee statements after being tortured. They said, “If that were me, I wouldn't have written the statement even if I was beaten to death.” There have also been comments made when someone went to the hospital: “If it were me, I wouldn't have gone to the hospital no matter how painful it was.” These types of comments are also a form of pursuit. They are very dangerous and may bring the so-called “tests” from the evil.

- 8. Solid Cultivation Is Essential
By a Dafa practitioner from Sichuan Province, China
(PureInsight.org)
Another practitioner and I went to visit an elderly practitioner who is in her 80s. The silver-haired elderly woman had a rosy complexion and such a friendly smile. The first thing she said to us was: “Solid cultivation, solid cultivation is essential.” I was not sure what she meant and looked at her with a surprised expression. The elderly woman told us her story regarding solid cultivation. She holds a group Fa study in her home. Recently, there have been some new practitioners joining the study group, and they did not have enough copies of Zhuan Falun for everyone. She and two other practitioners gave their copies to the new practitioners. Later, she got three new copies of Zhuan Falun to replace the old ones. She went through the new books and noticed some printing problems. She could barely make out the words in the first book. The words in the second book were also faint but legible, and words in the third copy were very clear. As practitioners were arriving for the group study, two of the practitioners who had given up their old copies of Zhuan Falun for the new practitioners to use, took two of the new books. When the elderly practitioner reached for the last copy of the Zhuan Falun , she was left with the copy that had the poorest print. Her mind was overwhelmed with thoughts: “I am the oldest here and my eyesight is not very good. You two young people left me with the copy that has the faintest print. You are very selfish.” Then she realized: “That's not right!” Master said: “Some people are unhappy when they meet with unpleasant things. Then aren’t you a human being? How are you any different? When you encounter unpleasant things, it is precisely time to cultivate yourself, to cultivate your mind.” (“Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa - Fa Teaching Given at the 2011 Washington DC Metro Area Fa Conference”) Master also said: “I also want to tell you that your nature in the past was actually based on egotism and selfishness. From now on, whatever you do, you should consider others first, so as to attain the righteous Enlightenment of selflessness and altruism.” (“Non-Omission in Buddha-Nature” from Essentials for Further Advancement) “We require you to be a completely extraordinary person, to completely give up your own interests and to be entirely for others. What do those Great Enlightened Beings live for? They’re entirely for others.” (“Explaining the Fa for Falun Dafa Assistants in Changchun” from Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa) She immediately saw the reflection of her own selfishness and jealousy. She then used a very strong consciousness to eliminate those attachments. When she opened her copy of Zhuan Falun , something very mystical happened. The words on every page were glowing in gold. She could hardly contain her emotions and said: “Magic, magic! How very magical!”
