Australia: Practitioners Find Where They Can Improve by Reading China Fahui Articles

(Minghui.org) The China Fahui hosted by Minghui.org every year provides a platform for Falun Dafa practitioners around the world to compare their cultivation and improve. Every article published in the 21^st China Fahui described how practitioners in China improved their character and validated the Fa. Practitioners in Australia said they were inspired and motivated after reading these cultivation stories.

Practicing Cultivation Solidly

Ms. Chen said she listened to the China Fahui articles on Minghui radio nearly every day, and felt her heart was cleansed. In the article “Spreading the Truth and Saving Lives Brings Me the Greatest Joy,” the kindness shown by the practitioner moved people who in turn protected Falun Dafa practitioners. The author wrote: “As I turned to leave the office he handed me a packet of pamphlets that were returned to him, and said, 'Protect yourself well, go!' I took the materials, and tears suddenly filled my eyes. I felt immense gratitude for Master’s boundless compassion and that this life was saved. At that moment, I truly understood the power of kindness—kindness is boundless, and kindness is the compassion of Master for all beings!”

Ms. Chen said, “I too was moved by the compassion shown by this practitioner. I felt that compassion is the true nature of every being. The kindness you show others is the compassion Master has for all sentient beings.”

Ms. Chen mentioned another article that resonated with her: “The Human World Is a Place for Cultivation.” She admired the practitioner’s ability to let go of the pursuit of gain. “I am reluctant to suffer losses, and this shows up in many ways. I also don’t like losing out in arguments. We need to get rid of every attachment and assimilate to the Fa by practicing cultivation solidly,” she said.

Finding Areas For Improvement

Patrick began practicing Falun Dafa in 2003. He often reads cultivation articles on the Minghui website and listens to Minghui radio. “The contents on Minghui radio are rich and I love to listen to the broadcast, it inspires and benefits me a lot.”

When asked if he read the China Fahui articles, he enthusiastically shared his thoughts, “I’ve been reading the articles and listening to them on Minghui radio, and I love listening to them.”

He had a deep impression of the article, “Steadfast Faith Reveals Falun Dafa’s Power.” The author described how he overcame his fear of clarifying the truth to people face to face. When he got into trouble due to his fear and lack of experience and didn’t know what sort of brutal persecution he would face, he thought, “I have Master, what is there to be afraid of? …. At most, I will be beaten to death, a practitioner is willing up to give up his life to uphold the principles of the universe.”

Patrick thought the practitioner’s true nature and righteous thoughts surfaced in the face of life and death. In the end, he got through his tribulation and was able to clarify the facts fluently. Patrick said, “I realized this shows the difference between humans and gods.”

Patrick saw he had a lot of room for improvement after reading the China Fahui articles. “Listening to their stories made me realize there are many things I need to do better in cultivation. I see my attachments and parts I need to improve on. They offered me a different perspective. I felt their experiences were very encouraging.”

The Importance of Maintaining Righteous Thoughts

Ms. Tao has practiced Falun Dafa for over two decades, and said she loves listening to Minghui radio. She is grateful for the efforts of practitioners involved in Minghui radio. “The radio station gives me the chance to listen to cultivation experiences while traveling, on breaks or doing household chores. Because practitioners around me are too busy to share cultivation experiences, I regard listening to Minghui radio as a form of cultivation environment. Indeed it has helped me in my cultivation.”

Ms. Tao thought she gained a lot through listening to the China Fahui articles this year. “I felt they truly cultivated solidly. Their cultivation state is very different from practitioners outside China. Their cultivation is based on assisting Master in Fa rectification. They have different understandings on sending righteous thoughts and it’s particularly effective. This helped me recognize the importance of maintaining righteous thoughts. I saw areas where I slacked off. I knew I must believe in Master and Dafa no matter what kind of tests I encounter and I should walk every step well with righteous thoughts.

“I’ve recently been listening to Minghui radio while traveling or even before I go to bed. I’m able to look within and find my shortcomings when I run into problems instead of resenting others. When I think of others, my heart feels bright and I can do things successfully. For example, I went to hand out Shen Yun fliers outside the theater and the results were exceptionally good. Nearly everyone took a flier and praised Shen Yun’s beauty. Today, practitioners asked me to help take some things and it was particularly hot, but I wasn’t upset. After finishing the task, it rained when I stepped into the train station. As it was a hot day, I hoped I did not have to take another bus. At once, an express bus heading in the direction of my house came. I was grateful to Master for arranging this, I think Master was encouraging me: today I did the right thing.”
