With a Pure Heart
Zhang Surong is a nutritionist who has practiced Falun Dafa for six years. She talked about how she promoted Shen Yun. “We cannot promote Shen Yun with ordinary persons’ notions. We need to be in a good cultivation state and have pure hearts in order to help the sentient beings learn what Shen Yun really is. I was able to hold everyone’s attention when I introduced Shen Yun on the stage. It was my pure heart that allowed me to do so. My thoughts were clear and I knew what my audience wanted to hear.”
Can Hear Again
Sun Guoying is a retired elementary school teacher who has been promoting the Epoch Times newspaper as reading materials in schools. A while ago she lost most of the hearing in her left ear. She looked within and realized that she had the attachment of not wanting to hear things that irritated her. This attachment had bothered her for years, and constantly brought her negative thoughts and emotions. This March, she could not hear her students talking. Later she could not even hear her cell phone ring. She knew that the problem was serious.
She started to think about what kinds of things she did not want to hear. She tried to tolerate negative words, and tried to communicate better and be more understanding and considerate. She then began hearing the things she needed to hear. From then on, her relationship with her husband improved. One day when she woke up, the hearing in her left ear was much better.
Hair Stylist Rectifies Her Style
Shi Yongling is a hair stylist. Before she began practicing Falun Dafa, she had customers coming to her shop non-stop and she made a lot of money. However, she suffered tremendously both physically and mentally. She had a precancerous lesion in her uterus, and a severe allergy that often lead to depression. She spent a significant amount of money trying to treat the illnesses, but nothing worked.
“Things changed dramatically after I started practicing Falun Gong,” recalled Ms. Shi. “The first time I did the exercises, I had blue hair and wore a very short skirt. I felt that as far as style is concerned, the stranger the better. I became very healthy after I practiced Falun Gong. I also changed my values and ideology. I stopped my eccentric and weird style and I quit drinking.”
Looking Within is the Key
Zhu Mei-Niang is a retired art teacher. She talked about the importance of looking within in the face of conflicts. “Every practitioner knows that it is important, but not many can do it. When encountering conflicts, we often get anxious and try to figure out why things happen the way they do. If we can immediately look within and find the deeply-rooted attachment, we will quickly improve,” said Ms. Zhu. She then talked about seven of her attachments – vanity, fear, comfort, family, jealousy, profit, and a lack of compassion – in a detailed and interesting way.
Focus when Studying the Fa
Li Li comes from northeastern China. “I learned Falun Dafa in the spring 2010 and since then I have been reading Zhuan Falun every day,” said Li. “The book has enormous power and I wanted to read it whenever I had time. I read all of Teacher’s articles in six months and realized what I needed to do as a practitioner during Fa-rectification.”
She continued, “When I study the Fa, I pay full attention. I assimilate to the Fa principles and have them replace every cell of mine. Studying the Fa promises me righteous thoughts and allows me to practice rationally.”
Teacher’s Unforgettable Grace
Xu Wanyi had just come back from studying in Japan. While in Japan, before she became a Dafa practitioner, she got a phone call from her mother asking her to go to Osaka to help with Shen Yun ticket sales. She had just seen one of Shen Yun’s performances in Tokyo and very much enjoyed it. She promised to help, and borrowed 40,000 yen from a friend to go to Osaka. She distributed Shen Yun flyers near the Osaka NHK Broadcast Center and told passersby in Japanese, “Shen Yun is performing in Osaka today.” She sincerely wanted the people of Osaka to see the beauty of the show. She remembered that she had to walk a long time but did not become tired.
Later, she was surprised to receive a two-year scholarship for 40,000 yen per month. Ms. Xu was very moved, “I was not a practitioner then and I only helped distribute Shen Yun flyers and promote the show with simple Japanese. I could hardly believe that Teacher rewarded me with such a great gift.”
