(Minghui.org) I am a fourth grader Falun Dafa practitioner. I saw many classmates and teacher sitting and closing their eyes in the hallway during lunch break one day in September 2021. I did not know what they were doing. My classmate told me that they were meditating. Out of curiosity, I also began to meditate with my teacher and classmates the next day. When sitting in the lotus position, I took my legs down after one minute because I was in a lot of pain. Now I can meditate for an entire hour with both of my legs crossed.
Not only do we meditate at school, we also study the Fa. I learned the principle of “no loss, no gain” when reading Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa.
My younger brother always kicked my pillow whenever he threw a temper tantrum at bedtime. Oftentimes, I would tell on my brother to my mother. After learning Falun Dafa, my heart became more understanding and I calmed down. Although it was still difficult for me to fall asleep whenever my brother kicked my pillow, I learned to endure and no longer bother my mother. I am grateful to my brother for helping me eliminate karma and giving me an opportunity to gain virtue (de).
My brother accidentally knocked over a pitcher filled with water one time. When my father questioned both of us, my brother lied and pointed at me. Even though I was reprimanded by my father, I did not get angry. I cleaned the table and felt happy. Not only did I gain virtue, my xinxing also elevated.
I took the initiative and started to look inward. I realized that I had been mean to my brother in the past and often became jealous of him. I always thought that my mother loved him more than she loved me. I began to slowly get rid of my attachment to jealousy after learning to look inward. Perhaps my cultivation improved a little bit more since I feel more at ease.
I hope everyone can follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The world would become a better place. Thank you Master for spreading Dafa.
