4/7 : Témoignages pour le futur | Histoire du Falun Dafa - S’engager sur le chemin

After I saw the tape, I thought it was very good. I think it's very good. It's a change of heart. It's an eye-opener. Because later I started reading this book. Here is a photo of Mr. Yu in 1998 at National Square, Washington, D.C. during the first snowfalls of the winter. He has been practicing Falun Gong for only three months. One of our practitioners took photos of our collective exercises. A photo showed me leaning on my legs because I was not able to sit in the lotus position. I needed to lean on my legs for a long time. However, I knew that Falun Gong was really very good. It's a right way. My first impression of Falun Gong was that it was very positive. It was my first impression. After people learned the Falun Gong and the exercises, many were inspired to start practicing. But for those who had just started practicing, what was their state of health? A group of medical experts conducted a study in 1998. The study showed us the following data. Among the 12,000 Falun Gong practitioners who participated in the survey, 52% were over 50 years old and 83% had one or more chronic diseases. On average, each person spent 1,760 yuan per year on medical expenses. Many had previous recurrent diseases that could not be cured by doctors. This is what led them to Falun Gong. I had seven types of diseases. A coronary disease, a brain tumor causing insufficient blood supply, cataracts, Menier syndrome, and a bombed vertebral disc from the second to the fourth vertebra of the cervical bone. My neck and my body could only turn like a straight line. Often I told myself that I was living a very miserable life. I was haunted by the idea of ​​killing myself. What is the biggest benefit you have obtained from practicing Falun Gong? The biggest benefit is that my body has undergone fundamental changes from the inside out. Before practicing Falun Gong, I had problems in all my internal organs to cardiac insufficiency. I was dying. Following long sufferings due to diseases, miraculous healing stories that occurred shortly after, the practice of Falun Gong was common among practitioners. These extraordinary phenomena aroused a deep reflection among many people. For a long time, I took medication and was hospitalized. Why did this not cure my disease? But after three months of practicing Falun Gong, it made me a completely healthy person. Where is the magic of my healing? As a practitioner of Falun Dafa, by learning and practicing Master Li's teachings, I began to understand the fundamental cause of the disease, the manifestation of the karma of the disease, and how to get rid of it completely. Master Li explains the principles in detail, and these are supernatural principles. As far as these supernatural principles are concerned, as a practitioner, do you believe in them or not? If you believe in them, are you able to follow the requirements of the teachings? If you do, you can get rid of your disease. This is the miracle. In the 1990s, it was common to see Falun Gong practitioners practicing in the open air despite extreme weather conditions. Their group of exercises in many public places formed a unique scene in the early morning. If you had not seen it by yourself, you would not have believed it. So many people gathered to do these exercises at 5.30 a.m. on August 26. Even if the images have become blurred with wear and tear, history will not be forgotten. Because of its miraculous health benefits, Falun Gong has quickly spread throughout the country without any advertising. The number of people learning Falun Gong has increased spectacularly. However, most beginners had little knowledge of what cultivation was. In the early days, most of their understanding was to do the exercises diligently. I did the exercises every day. At first, I could only sit down with one leg crossed for five minutes. Little by little, persevering to do the exercise every day, I could sit down for 15 minutes, then 30 minutes, and later more than 40 minutes. After reading the book for the first time, I did not read it again. I was satisfied with the exercises. Regarding this situation, in December 1995, Mr. Li Hongzhe wrote and performed a ritual to ask me as a master to instruct the disciples to follow the Fah. The article said, those who really cultivate themselves without having a spirit of research will naturally obtain all the gongs, all the Fah, everything is in the book. The reading of the Dafa will naturally make them acquire them. Those who learn it will know a natural and automatic change. By repeating the reading, they will already be in the Tao. The book that Mr. Li Hongzhe asked his disciples to read several times is this book called Zhuang Falun. Today, people abroad can buy books on Falun Gong in bookstores or by phone or download them for free on the Internet. They have no idea how difficult it was for people in mainland China to own a copy of a book on Falun Gong. Wuhan is located on the banks of the Yangtze River, known as the place of the Gracious Crane and the Cloudy Cloud. It was also the main printing site of Falun Dafa books. In early 1995, the book Zhuang Falun was published for the first time. As printing was limited, two people had to share one copy. In some remote rural areas, the books were not available. Here we have heard many moving stories of practitioners who have gone through trials to get Dafa books more quickly. I remember one day when I was in Xinjiang, there was a practitioner from a village in the province of Jiangxi who had walked tens of kilometers to the bank of Xinjiang waiting for the arrival of the boat to bring the books of Zhuang Falun. There was also another time, in February 1995, in Nanjing, it was snowing heavily and the boat was three hours late. The practitioners waited on the dock for four hours. Under the thick snow, no one left. They continued to look at the river hoping that the boat carrying the books would appear faster. When the boat finally appeared, they jumped and shouted, here is the boat, here is our book. At that time, people aspired to return to their true identity and simply wanted to assimilate to authenticity, kindness, tolerance. Thus, in addition to daily exercises, the practitioners added reading and studying Zhuang Falun during their free time. It is in this book that Mr. Li Hangzhe clearly stated the key factors for a person to achieve a true elevation. There are two reasons why we can't get higher in Shulian or cultivation. If we don't know a high-level law, then we can't cultivate and practice at a high level. If we can't give importance to the cultivation and practice of our Xingxing, deep nature, then we can't get higher. To become a true practitioner of Falun Dafa, one must follow the principle of authenticity, kindness, tolerance to elevate one's Xingxing or deep nature. To rise to higher levels, one must first get rid of bad conceptions and attachments formed in the so-called ordinary society. Life is full of happiness and gentle moments, as well as anger and sorrow. People are all different, but their destiny is similar. People know that certain habits and dependencies are harmful, but they are not able to get rid of them. We all know that smoking is dangerous to health. In January 1996, China launched a campaign against smoking. Advertising for tobacco was banned on TV. 26 cities, including Beijing, adopted a law banning smoking in public places. But this propaganda and regulations had little effect. Tobacco consumption in China remains the highest in the world, with more than 350 million smokers and an increase of 2% each year. I smoked for 10 years, one to two packs a day. In addition, I got a very bad habit. Once I had lit a cigarette, I smoked cigarette after cigarette without being able to stop. Later, after reading the book, I began to understand. I thought that life was unpredictable, short and full of bitterness. Later, I thought that I just had to enjoy the present moment, since I did not know when my life would end. It actually showed a feeling of helplessness. Life was just like that, without any hope. But now I have found this means of cultivation. For me, something impossible becomes possible. Is a person condemned to be old, sick and unhappy? In the past, I thought so. But now, I think this may not be the case. Suddenly, there is hope in my life. I could easily stop smoking because I saw hope. Practitioners see the world, the universe and life from a whole new perspective. This allows them to get rid of bad habits and addictions without feeling the pain and previous setbacks. Their quality of life has undergone fundamental changes. Those who have felt the deepest impact had once lost all hope in their lives. A young teacher in the Maoming region was a drug addict. He played to buy drugs. He borrowed money from his parents and friends and spent it all. Everyone was afraid to see him. He was thin and in such bad health that he did not want to live. Then he had the chance to meet Dafa. Under the blessing of Dafa's power, he quickly got rid of his drug addiction and stopped playing. He was a completely different person. A few months later, he wrote a sharing of experiences. He said that drugs had made him a ghost, while Dafa allowed him to become human again. We were very touched by his story. As they begin to clean up their mental and physical problems, practitioners encounter unexpected difficulties in the first stage of cultivation. Many try all kinds of tricks in their search for the true meaning of life. When they discover the Falun Dafa, they suddenly find the answers to the questions they were asking without being able to answer them. You can imagine how enthusiastic they are. How to balance cultivation and family life is a big problem that many practitioners can encounter in the first stages of their cultivation. Mr. Li Hongzhe talked about it in detail in his lectures. Some people, after learning the Falun Gong or other exercises of Qigong, no longer treat their son with affection. Instead, they treat their son as an enemy. I will not take care of you anymore. I will cultivate and practice. They get angry when they see their children. What kind of practitioner are you? We must treat others with kindness in all circumstances, without speaking of our loved ones. We speak of this principle, that is, we must be kind to everyone, to your parents, to your son, to everyone, to everyone. Be kind and caring to others in all respects. Your heart will no longer be selfish and will no longer be limited to your family. It will be more general, extending to others, to everyone, with compassion. The teacher says to look inside. So I look inside myself every time there is a conflict in the family. I can find my own attachments and other problems every time. My family life improves more and more. My husband now helps me do the work of Dapha as well. Looking inside, when you meet a conflict, asking yourself to be a better person, asking yourself if you can improve in everyday life and trying to continually improve, the practitioners discovered that their mentality was changing little by little. The thoughts and habits they were used to have gradually become different. By experiencing personal and internal conflicts, they began to understand the profound significance of cultivating in Dapha. Their environment became more peaceful and healthier. 1997 marks the 20th year of China's opening to the outside world. As the economy progressed, society experienced a rapid decline in spiritual and moral criteria. Corruption, prostitution, mafia gangs and other social problems were widespread. People got used to these problems and even drifted away with them. In the spring of 1997, in the city of Dalian, in the northeast of the country, a large conference of sharing experiences of the Dapha Falun took place. In the community of practitioners, the relationship between loss and gain is frequently mentioned. Among ordinary people, we also discuss it. How should our practitioners deal with loss and gain? It's different from ordinary people. What ordinary people want is personal gain, and how to live well and comfortably. Our practitioners are not like that. This four-year-old boy is reading a passage on the principles of gain and loss. Falun Gong practitioners put them into practice every day. We took the bus to Tianjin every day to attend the professor's conference. All seats were free. The one who gets on first has a better seat in the bus. Those who arrive later have to go to the back section where the seats are more busted. At first, people ran to the bus to get a better seat, but later it was no longer the case. People let others pass first. Some sat on the chairs added in the middle. Sitting there was very uncomfortable for a journey of more than two hours. Everyone would have preferred a normal seat, but they all wanted the others to pass first, so they took the seats between the aisles. Cultivate in the gap. It is difficult for the ordinary man to know the bitterness of cultivation and practice. He takes the struggle and competition for happiness. Cultivate until you don't leave a single attachment. Bitterness passes, sweetness arrives, it is true happiness. Raising one's deep nature in the most complex environment among the most complex group of people is the experience of Falun Gong practitioners practicing this great method of cultivation. The wolf village near the district of Zijing in the province of Guangdong is well known for its larsen. Due to its good natural agricultural environment, the local government built a 99-acre orchard near the village. Unexpectedly, the villagers took the orchard as an easy source of money. When the harvest season arrived, almost all the families went out to steal the fruits and sell their produce on the market. This problem became the biggest headache for the local authorities. Every year, important resources were spent to protect the orchard. Some thieves even stopped the parade publicly. Despite this, the villagers did not stop stealing. In early 1998, Falun Gong spread in this small village. Of the 300 villagers, more than 80 participated in the study and collective exercises every day, and they have not stolen since then. Under the influence of these villagers, the habits of stealing from the whole village have completely ceased. During the winter of this year, the practitioners representing the village joined the conference on sharing experiences of cultivation of Falun Dafa from Guangzhou. They shared their stories. Before, I did not know this principle, and I thought that taking public property was justified. If I do not steal, others will. Now I understand the principle of no loss, no gain. To win, you have to lose. I also know the principle according to which people who do bad things get a black substance, karma, and in return lose their precious virtue, the virtue. A government official from Linjiang County said, your Falun Gong is so good and played a role that even the law could not respect. I want to buy a copy of your book to read it. The change that occurred in the village of Luwu is only a glimpse of the great impact that Falun Dafa had on Chinese society at that time. It was said among the practitioners, do everything according to the requirements of Dafa's Xing Xing. If they are government officials, they must be honest and hard-working officials. If they are workers, they must be disciplined workers. If they are ordinary citizens, they must be good people for others. Mr. Li explained the deep meaning of what follows when he came to teach practice for the first time. This is how our students are after learning our method. I say that our method can have this effect on society, to promote a spiritual civilization in society. As we cultivate and practice in a fair way, we ask each of us to raise their Xing Xing. When everyone starts doing the same, we necessarily achieve this kind of result. When I read the book, I felt that it touched my heart. Why? Because it teaches us to be someone who considers others first, to be disinterested and to invest fully for others. It also establishes a very strict moral criterion called authenticity, benevolence, tolerance. You have to cultivate your heart. As a result, once you start cultivating it, your whole heart relaxes and is able to let go of anything. For example, it is common for intellectuals to be attached to glory and personal interest. They are often in competition and fight to get a promotion. They are all like that. After starting to learn this book, I am able to get rid of all these attachments. It is said that you gain weight when you are relaxed. I have gained more than 10 kilos. From an ordinary person to a practitioner just like that, many have begun an unprecedented journey on the path to return to their true origin. In 1998, we saw Falun Gong practitioners everywhere, in the northeast, in the south and in the northwest, in the city and in the countryside. They came from a society with a high qing-qing. They played a very important role for the stability of society and raised the moral level of society. In November of that year, Mr. Li Hangzhe wrote a poem entitled Laugh. I laugh, the beings awaken. I laugh, the great law is transmitted. I laugh, the boat of salvation raises the anchor. I laugh, the beings have hope.
