Ever since I obtained the Fa, Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance have guided me in teaching the students of each of my classes. From the changes they went through, I saw that this precious gift has already brought Spring to the children's lives. And because of this, I work hard for the Minghui school to provide the children with classes during their winter vacations.
After I finished taking all the children home on the last day of the 10-day class I felt rather depressed. Being able to provide a cultivation environment for the parents and children allows us to upgrade together, and for me to let go of more attachments.
Later, after the Fa study, practitioners began to exchange their experiences in teaching at Minghui schools, which resulted in all of us going home and writing it down in detail. Below is everyone's experience and understanding:
A Little Effort, With Big Results
By Xu Ruiwen (Zhujun's mother)
I was under constant pressure because of my work, and the lack of time also resulted in my being impatient. I looked only at success and not at the process, and this is a problem present in every family. After seeing the changes in Zhujun after he obtained Dafa, I began to feel the miracle of Zhuan Falun and Hongyin - they contain all the answers to my questions! I discover that "spanking kids" is all because of attachments to fame.
This was Zhujun's first experience sharing with me: "Mother, do you know when I began to laugh from deep inside? It is after I read Hongyin." I could not believe that these words had come from his mouth! Good and bad words promote different results in a child's growth. Everyone knows this, yet many are unable to do it! Dafa changed everyone's mentality, and my child has found happiness and health in his life, and he has also found Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
At first I came only to offer help, though I now realize that I'm the one who has received the most benefit. I've gotten rid of a lot of attachments and selfishness, and learned to work towards Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance!
I deeply appreciate the participation of each child and parent for allowing me this privilege to help everyone. I hope that we will all return in the future for further activities. Zhujun's greatest change is that he became motivated and clear and helped others voluntarily. And my biggest change is being able to truly recognize the good and bad in my child's actions.
My Experience
Huang Zhujun (a first grader in elementary school)
In the past my mother often spanked me, but after I began practicing Dafa, she no longer spanks me anymore. The first person in my family to obtain the "Fa" was my grandma. My mother later began to practice it when grandma gave mother a copy of Zhuan Falun, and afterwards she passed it to Dad. Thank you Teacher for saving sentient beings! And thank you Grandma for teaching me!
Dafa has changed the relationship between my child and myself
Xu Wenying (Zeyu and his mother)
"The lofty conduct that Dafa disciples have established in this environment--including every word and every deed--can make people recognize their own weaknesses and identify their shortcomings; it can move their hearts, refine their conduct, and enable them to make progress more rapidly. Therefore, new students or self-taught disciples have to go to the practice sites to do the exercises." (Environment) from Essentials for Further Advancement.
My children have continuously practiced the exercises and studied the Fa for 10 days. The five sets of exercises gave them health and energy, and a rosy complexion appeared on their faces. Learning Dafa made them responsible and understanding, and they often remind themselves to be Truthful, Compassionate, and Tolerant. We spent much time talking about Dafa related issues and about becoming more cooperative and peaceful. Although they still had questions about Dafa, I believe that these 10 days has made them even more steadfast towards Dafa, and rereading Zhuan Falun will be able to answer their questions. Today, the eldest of my children voluntarily asked to participate in the study group to do the exercises and study the Fa. At first he was afraid that it would be a strain on his schoolwork, though he later told me that, "Although this is but a small step in cultivating Dafa, it is a great step in my life."
I thank Teacher and Yu Fang's help and effort and giving up her vacation to create an environment for young Dafa practitioners.
My Cultivation Experience
Zhang Zeyu
Dafa first influenced me when my younger brother recovered from his illness, and mother continuously told me how miraculous it was, and this made me curious. So this led me to read through Zhuan Falun. I immediately became interested by phrases such as, "In the museum of the National University of Peru, there is a rock..." "The Gabon Republic in Africa has uranium ore..." and footprint found on trilobite fossil (verified) (Zhuan Falun). So from then on I began to cultivate without stopping.
When I was in elementary school, I was not very diligent and so slowly, cultivation turned into just a part of my life. It was because of the help of my fellow practitioners that I gained a better understanding of Dafa. When I felt a Falun spinning while I was attending a Minghui class, I was very excited, though immediately I realized that it is an attachment of zealotry, and I had to control myself. But then my attachment of fear came out, for I did not wish to loose my Falun. Cultivation is rather difficult sometimes because I have so many attachments that I need to let go.
I wish that everyone in the world could practice Falun Dafa, then there would no longer be any arguments, and there will be no fear of being harmed by one another. Everyone would come together to make this a better world.
Falun Dafa is Good
Zhang Zechen
I enjoy practicing Falun Gong very much. Last August I became very ill, and it was by luck that my aunt brought me a copy of Zhuan Falun, after which I began to recover. From then on, I started to practice Falun Gong! At first, the second exercise made my arms tired, while the fifth made my leg hurt, though now everything is fine. Last month was the first time I went out to spread the Fa. I stood as a part of the Great Wall of Courage. I thought it was great, and wished that it would last for a couple of days. "Falun Dafa is Great!"
