(Minghui.org) “Dafa is great! Master is great!” “Fellow practitioners are outstanding because they eliminate their attachment to personal interests!” “It is really touching to read how practitioners let go of their resentment.” These words reflect the feelings of practitioners in the UK after reading submissions published on Minghui.org to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day. The practitioners expressed their gratitude to Master for his compassionate salvation.
Rosemary is an officer of a media communications management team. She has practiced Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) for over 20 years. She read the article “Letting Go of My Fear.” The author was still a student when his mother was arrested. He said he understood that all the propaganda was false and that Falun Gong practitioners were good people. Rosemary said, “This young practitioner firmly believes in Dafa and can bravely stand up in the face of tremendous pressure. It’s amazing!”
She said that in a terrifying environment like China, belief in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance gives people strength and hope. She said, “I am extremely grateful to Master. Dafa has changed my life. I have become a healthier and better person.”
All Tribulations Help Us Improve
David Sun started practicing Dafa in London in 2001 and now works for a media outlet. Due to the CCP’s persecution in China, he never returned to China and has lived abroad for more than 20 years.
David was touched when he read the article, “A Korean Physician’s Practice of Falun Dafa.” Through practicing Falun Dafa, this practitioner gained wisdom and became a skilled doctor. Falun Dafa endowed practitioners with abilities beyond those of ordinary people. When he promoted Falun Dafa, he made it easy for people to feel the wonder of Falun Dafa. As a result, many people around him who were predestined to practice Falun Dafa began to practice, and many people’s long-term diseases were cured without treatment.
When a fire burned down the clinic, he lost his job. Faced with this tribulation, he let it go completely and did not blame or retaliate against the person responsible. Instead, he continued to treat the person’s mother. After he read this article, David said, “Only Falun Dafa disciples have such broad minds, which validates the greatness of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa can elevate people’s moral cultivation to an incredible height.”
Later, the Korean doctor started his own media outlet, and the profits he earned made up for the loss. David said that this was the power of Dafa. He said, “In fact, practitioners are looked after by Master. Your blessings will not be lost. All tribulations help us improve. When we truly cultivate ourselves and let go of all our attachments, everything that belongs to you will be returned.” This article touched him a lot, and he recommended it to other editors to spread the power of kindness through media reports.
Dafa Changes My View of Life
Hoa grew up in a poor farm family in Vietnam. She suffered a lot from the time she was a child, but she studied very hard. Three years after graduating from university, she applied for a full scholarship to study for a doctorate at a Japanese university.
Hoa said that when she read the article titled “I Finally Discovered One of My Fundamental Attachments,” she realized her own attachment when she read the story of a young practitioner.
In the article a practitioner at group Fa study said, “Sometimes when we do something, we think we’re doing it purely out of consideration for others, but that’s actually not the case... So if it’s not entirely for them, then there’s definitely a pursuit of self-interest. These are all bad attachments.”
Hoa recalled that her husband was infected with COVID-19 after he went to work in the UK. He was in a bad mood and scolded her. She kept reminding herself to care more about him. But she found that no matter how hard she tried, her husband’s attitude remained unchanged.
By comparing her behavior with the fellow practitioner’s, Hoa saw her selfishness. She said, “I treated my husband well because I hoped that he would care more about me. My hidden motive was to seek happiness from ordinary people, not to be truly selfless as Master said.”
When she examined her relationships with people and let go of her desire for reward, she became a traditional wife who took care of her husband and children without regrets. She did not slack off in her cultivation and actively participated in many online truth-clarification projects, helping Chinese people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Looking Within to Get Rid of the Attachment to Self Interest
Shishun from Malaysia is an electronic product designer for a charity in London. He read the article titled “Calmly Handling the Situation When I’m Wronged at Work” written by a practitioner in China. The author’s boss wanted to deny that she'd completed 18 boxes of extra work, but she let go of her attachment, and the other boss rectified the error the next day. Shishun said that he should really let go of his desire for profit like the author.
After he and his fiancée bought a house recently, the originally negotiated attorney fees and handling fees increased. However, the garage door, stove, and refrigerator in the new home were all broken. Negotiations with the company were fruitless, and he even thought about filing a lawsuit. He said that there was a big gap between him and the practitioner in China. As a practitioner, he should look within to see what attachments he still couldn’t let go of.
He said that he has practiced Falun Dafa for seven years, but he has not yet reached a certain realm. He has not passed many tests, has not cultivated forbearance well enough, and is still attached to certain things. He needs to work hard to break through. He said, “I know that Master wants to save everyone. I am very moved. Thank you, Master!”
