My Cultivation Experiences While Writing Reports For Minghui

(Minghui.org) Recalling my cultivation experiences while writing reports for events in Sweden for the Minghui website helps me gain a deeper understanding of the meaning behind many of the Fa principles that Master mentioned in Zhuan Falun. I realized that Master is always by our side as long as we cultivate ourselves based on the Fa, believe in Master and the Fa, and think and act righteously.

I’d like to share my understanding of what Master said, “Good or evil comes from that instant thought.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

Learning to Look Within

More than 20 years ago a Falun Dafa coordinator in Sweden said that no one worked on Minghui reports for Sweden, and he asked me to join the Minghui team. I immediately agreed but I was worried because I knew the importance of the Minghui website in validating the Fa. I also knew that other practitioners who were proficient in Swedish, were involved in other media projects. I knew someone had to help and submit articles to the Minghui website. There seemed no reason for me to reject this request.

Actually, I had several reasons to reject the request. I can’t write an article without material! I felt like I was making bricks from straw before I even started. I lived in a small city and I could not guarantee that I’d be able to frequently travel to the capital and collect information. I recently moved to Sweden so I had difficulty speaking the language. Furthermore, as I worked in the field of finance my writing skills were limited; I truly felt that I was simply not up to the task.

However, what I was thinking about at that time was how lucky I was to be able to be in a country (Sweden) where Master imparted the Fa outside China in the early days. Thus, I must try my best and cherish this opportunity. With Master’s empowerment and my practitioner husband’s help, I started writing the reports and I learned along the way. I wrote the articles while my husband took the photos.

What I did not expect is that soon after I joined this project I would encounter many heart-wrenching xinxing tests. In the face of grievances and unfair treatment, given Master’s hint, I realized that all these years, I’ve just placed emphasis on doing the exercises and studying the Fa, but I did not cultivate my xinxing. I calmed down and looked within. I found that I had many deeply hidden attachments, such as being impatient, domineering, intolerant of others, not accepting any criticism, pursuing perfection and I was eager to achieve quick results. Tears welled up in my eyes as I told Master, “I want to assimilate to the universe’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance and I will begin with cultivating my forbearance.”

I started to emphasize looking within and cultivating myself—especially when I wrote the reports for events. I kept reminding myself to maintain a pure and calm mindset and remain composed in my wording and tone when I wrote. Gradually, this gentle and steady attitude became a great help when I encountered all sorts of conflicts in my work and life.

Master’s Arrangements Are the Best

Thank you, Master, for quickly arranging the best for me after seeing that I had the wish to cultivate well. The stress of living in a small city is relatively small. If we were to move to the capital, some of the initial challenges we faced would be finding a house and jobs. However, I really wanted to move to the capital to join more events, and it would be convenient for me to write reports.

I soon found a house in the capital and we moved. Everything went smoothly. My husband and son quickly joined local practitioners and participated in events to introduce Falun Dafa. My husband and I found stable jobs in local Swedish companies. Master resolved our worries about having an everyday job, clarifying the truth, and validating the Fa.

Unfortunately, I still struggle to keep my mind steady when I face different kinds of xinxing challenges. Although I did not pass tests well I still felt Master’s benevolent protection. I often felt I was immersed in Master’s grace while I covered various events, from preparation, conceptualization, and drafting to final publication. This was especially true during the event last September, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of Master’s imparting of the Fa in Sweden. We received the selfless support, help and cooperation from the European reporting team. All these encounters inspired me to cultivate diligently.

Cultivating Myself Well and Being Worthy of Master’s Support

Every detail of my cultivation journey is vivid in my mind. I know that everything is arranged by benevolent Master. I am fortunate to have that thought to accept the task. I am honored to be bestowed by Master with this precious chance to write reports for Minghui.org. This platform is used to validate the Fa and save sentient beings, and is an opportunity for me to keep improving. I also experienced the miraculous and wonderful nature of the Fa principles about doing without pursuit and obtaining something without the thought of pursuing anything. I only need to study the Fa more and cultivate myself well so that I can live up to Master’s grace.

Master has given me a lot, but I feel I’m not able to do enough for the Minghui website due to my limited capabilities. I want to improve my writing skills, put in more effort to try and try my best to write more readable articles to assist Master in the Fa-rectification, help him save sentient beings and fulfill my prehistoric vow.

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my deepest respect to Minghui’s editor-in-chief, editors, and also all the members of the overseas reporting team! Thank you all for your selfless help, guidance, all these years. Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
