Some Reflections on Doing the Falun Dafa Exercises

(Minghui.org) I have recently come to some understandings on doing the Falun Dafa exercises.

First, I’d like to talk about our attitude toward doing the exercises. Some practitioners study the Fa attentively and seriously but have a different attitude when it comes to doing the exercises. In fact, both are important because Master passed both of them on to us. The exercise itself has its own life, so we must hold a pious attitude toward it just as we should have a positive attitude toward cultivation. We should understand that Falun Dafa is different from any other cultivation schools in history, because we are cultivating the entire universe. Master has installed in our bodies a tremendously powerful mechanism, which is not visible to the naked eye.

As we descended from very high-levels, we developed various attachments and accumulated boundless karma, which are all reflected in our bodies in other dimensions. When we do the exercises, our bodies in other dimensions are being constantly purified. The speed and extent of purification are truly incredible. Moreover, the purification process is synchronized with the cleanliness of our celestial bodies in the corresponding universe. The universes and sentient beings there are also getting purified and rectified as we do the exercises and study the Fa.

Doing the exercises every day is also a manifestation of our belief in Master and the Fa. This requires us to be humble when we do the exercises, allowing the immensely powerful mechanisms to transform our weak physical bodies (compared with the bodies in all other dimensions). Although my supernormal abilities are locked up, I have recently felt the incomparable intensity of the transformation when doing the exercises.

It is important to listen to the verse for each exercise attentively. For example, when you hear “Shenshen Heyi” (The Mind and Body Join Together) in the first exercise (Chapter II Illustrations and Explanations of the Exercise Movements inThe Great Way of Spiritual Perfection), you should feel that you are a deity as you practice. When you hear “Rulai Guanding” (Tathagata Pouring Energy into the Top of the Head), Tathagata is truly pouring energy into our bodies. With “Arhat Carrying a Mountain on His Back (Luohan Beishan),” you are really an Arhat, and so on. When you do the second exercise, the verse says, “Shenghui Zengli” (Wisdom is Enhanced and Powers Strengthened) (Chapter II Illustrations and Explanations of the Exercise Movements in The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection), one should genuinely feel that one’s wisdom is enhanced.

It is essential to be completely focused and listen to Master’s instructions when we do the exercises. We must believe 100% that these verses can indeed have the described effects. The transformation of our own bodies and the changes in the corresponding celestial bodies depend on how much we trust in them.

Therefore, these verses are meant to assimilate our bodies and minds deeply, rather than doing the exercises just for the sake of doing them. Only that way can we achieve remarkable results with our efforts.

Of course, improving xinxing is a prerequisite, but on the foundation of xinxing improvement, doing the exercises becomes crucial and significant.
