[Minghui.org] A Wayward Teen Becomes an Upright Young Man

 Feb. 17, 2025 | By Minghui correspondents in Toronto, Canada

Bogdan was inspired by the book and decided to quit drugs. Without going to a drug rehabilitation center, his drug addiction was gone within six months. He found that after practicing the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises, he no longer had any withdrawal symptoms.

(Minghui.org) Looking at 27-year-old Bogdan today, no would believe that this polite and soft-spoken young man dropped out of school and was once addicted to drugs. His parents kicked him out of the house because of his bad behavior, and he became a homeless vagrant who made a living by stealing cars. He was shot by the police at the scene of a car theft and the bullet hit his left arm, fracturing his ulna. He was then arrested and sent to prison.

A Fresh Start

After being released from prison, Bogdan was walking on the street in 2021 when a woman handed him a petition asking the international community to help stop the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) forced organ harvesting from Falun Dafa practitioners. Bogdan immediately signed it. He recalled, “Even though I took drugs, stole cars, and did all kinds of evil, I still had a trace of conscience: the CCP was stealing organs from living people and then killing them, so it must be stopped.”

Bogdan had dropped out of school and had little knowledge of the current state of the world. He was surprised by what the woman told him about the crimes of the CCP: “I had no idea that China, an ancient and great country, was under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party, which violates human rights,” Bogdan recalled. The woman then handed him a flier about Falun Dafa. He said, “I thought at the time that I wanted to learn this practice because it would look cool to meditate. I didn’t expect that I’d found a profound cultivation method that would completely change my personality and life.”

Four years later, those who knew Bogdan back then have new respect for him. He no longer smokes, drinks, takes drugs, or commits crimes. He transformed from a muddle-headed teenager to a cultivator who values morality and kindness.

Reading Zhuan Falun

Bogdan reads Zhuan Falun, Falun Dafa’s main book.

After he began practicing Falun Dafa, Bogdan’s thinking changed and he felt like a new person. “I originally thought that once I learned how to meditate, my IQ and concentration would improve, and the police wouldn’t be able to catch me if I stole a car. But after I read Zhuan Falun, I realized for the first time the consequences of doing evil: I was hurting myself and my family. I must follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and be considerate,” he said.

Bogdan was inspired by the book and decided to quit drugs. Without going to a drug rehabilitation center, his drug addiction was gone within six months. He found that after practicing the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises, he no longer had any withdrawal symptoms.

Bogdan had side effects from the gunshot wound, and experienced severe pain in his arms, shoulders and back. However, when he read Zhuan Falun his pain disappeared.

He fell in love with Chinese culture after he began reading Zhuan Falun, and he also read about Chinese history and mythology. He found that the legends of emperors, generals, and talented scholars always revolve around conscience and morality. For example, Yue Fei was loyal, Laozi was wise, Kangxi was virtuous, and the Monkey King was brave. Bogdan aspired to be a person of noble character.

Bogdan began to learn Chinese by himself. One year later, he was able to read Zhuan Falun in Chinese. He has now studied Chinese for three years and can read a wide range of books in Chinese and also speaks fluent Mandarin.

Bogdan’s mother was delighted when she heard that he practiced Falun Dafa. She always hoped that her son would be kind to others, and told him that she prayed for him. She feels that the divine responded by guiding Bogdan to find Falun Dafa. His sister is also very happy about Bogdan’s changes, and said, “I have a brother again. My brother is back.”

Being Kind and Compassionate to Others

Bogdan found a decent job as a cook in a restaurant. His supervisor was addicted to alcohol and often borrowed money from him. Because he practiced Falun Dafa, Bogdan was kindhearted and always lent him money. Over time, the amount his supervisor owed him increased.

The supervisor not only borrowed money from him, but also borrowed money from all his coworkers, who complained that the supervisor never paid it back. Bogdan realized that this could not continue. He didn’t complain, but went straight to his supervisor and told him, “You have to stop borrowing money from the workers. It’s not right.” However, the supervisor targeted Bogdan in return by being sarcastic and angry with him. Bogdan just smiled and said, “I don’t take it seriously. Because I know that ordinary people experience much more pain than you see.”

The next time his supervisor asked Bogdan for money, he kindly but firmly told him, “If you borrow money from your coworkers again, the boss will find out sooner or later, and you’ll lose your job. You can’t keep taking other people’s money, hurting them, and living beyond your means. I won’t complain to the boss, but you must know that you will bear the consequences of your actions.”

Bogdan then explained the principles he learned from Dafa. “Before, I stole cars and took drugs. Everyone told me I was wrong, but I never listened. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I understood that good is rewarded and evil meets with retribution, and karma really exists. When you take something from others that doesn’t belong to you, you are losing virtue, and you will pay the price.”

The supervisor wept after hearing this. He said, “Others treat me ruthlessly, but no one ever persuaded me with reason like you have. I owe you the most money, but you treat me the most gently. How can you talk to me calmly without any resentment or hatred?” Moved by Bogdan’s kindness, the supervisor realized that he couldn’t continue borrowing money.

The supervisor changed after that talk, and started to repay his coworkers. Bogdan told him that he didn’t need to pay back the money he owed him, but to pay off the money he owed to other coworkers first. In the end, the supervisor paid off the debt and became Bogdan’s friend.

Accepting Criticism

Bogdan does the fifth Falun Dafa exercise.

Before he began practicing Falun Dafa, a fortune teller told Bogdan that he had a guardian angel with great powers. At the time, Bogdan scoffed, “What guardian angel?” His drug-taking friends committed crimes, but they weren’t punished. But whenever Bogdan did something wrong, the police caught him. Not only was he shot, but all the items he stole were confiscated.

After practicing Dafa, Bogdan realized that it was the angel’s protection that allowed him to be punished every time he made a mistake—he was able to pay for his sins, and it helped him understand that mistakes have consequences and he must take the right path. However, his friends, who committed evil without restraint, were going down a path of no return and faced serious consequences.

Bogdan’s family and friends often praise him. When this happens, Bogdan reminds himself of Master’s teaching,

“For a cultivator, all the frustrations he comes across among everyday people are trials, and all the compliments he receives are tests.” (“A Cultivator is Naturally Part of It,” Essentials for Further Advancement)”

“When I hear praise, I always remind myself not to be complacent. In fact, I’d rather hear others point out my shortcomings. As a cultivator, I must use higher moral standards to demand of myself. I thank Master for allowing me to take the path of cultivation and become a life that is happy from the heart!”

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

【明慧网】毒瘾偷车少年是如何弃恶从善的?

 

学法轮功后,波格丹的思想转变如同脱胎换骨。他说:“我原本想,等我学会打坐,智商和专注力提升了,再去偷车警察也抓不到我了。可是读了整本《转法轮》后,我第一次意识到作恶的后果:我在伤害自己,连累家人。我要按照真、善、忍要求自己,为别人着想。”

【明慧网二零二五年二月十四日】明慧多伦多记者站报道)来自东欧摩尔多瓦(Moldova)的波格丹(Bogdan)今年二十七岁,给人的感觉是个谦谦君子,温润如玉。可谁也想不到,曾经的他早早辍学,冰毒上瘾。父母将他扫地出门,他成为无家可归的流浪汉,靠偷车过活。在他盗车逃逸的犯罪现场,警察对他开枪,子弹击中了他的左臂,导致尺骨碎裂,随后,他进了监狱。

改过自新 重新开始

二零二一年,波格丹出狱后走在大街上。一位女士向他递来一份请愿书,要求国际社会帮助制止中共活摘法轮功学员器官。波格丹立刻在请愿书上签了字。他回忆说:“即使我吸毒、偷车,无恶不作,但内心还有一丝良知尚存:中共盗窃活人的器官,再将他们杀害,肯定要制止。”

波格丹几乎没有上过学,他对世界现状也缺乏认知。女士向他讲述的中共罪行,令他惊讶不已:“我压根不知道中国这个古老又伟大的国家,正处在侵犯人权的中共统治之下。”

女士接着递给波格丹一张介绍法轮功的传单。他说:“我当时想,我要学这个功法,打坐看起来会很酷。我当时没有想到,自己找到了一个高深莫测的内修方法,我的性格和人生将要彻底改变。”

四年过去了,当年认识波格丹的人,已对他刮目相看。他不再抽烟、喝酒、吸毒和犯罪,从浑浑噩噩的不良少年,变成了重德行善的修炼人。

浪子回头 他拿起了《转法轮》

图1:波格丹正在阅读法轮功的主要著作《转法轮》。

学法轮功后,波格丹的思想转变如同脱胎换骨。他说:“我原本想,等我学会打坐,智商和专注力提升了,再去偷车警察也抓不到我了。可是读了整本《转法轮》后,我第一次意识到作恶的后果:我在伤害自己,连累家人。我要按照真、善、忍要求自己,为别人着想。”

读书中,波格丹受到启发,下定决心要戒掉毒品。即使没有去戒毒所,波格丹在六个月内完全摆脱了对毒品的依赖。他特别发现,炼了法轮功的五套功法后,他不再有任何戒断反应。他说:“炼功时,我感到身体获得净化。”

自从受了枪伤,波格丹落下了后遗症。他的手臂,连带着肩膀和背部一直感到剧烈的疼痛。可是在读《转法轮》的过程中,他的疼痛不知不觉消失了。

《转法轮》让波格丹爱上了中国的文化,他如饥似渴地阅读中国历史和神话。他发现,帝王将相、才子佳人的传说,总是围绕着良心和道德。比如,岳飞忠义,老子睿智,康熙德政,美猴王勇敢。他也立志要做一个品德高尚的人。

沉醉于中国的文化,波格丹开始自学中文。一年后,他能够通读中文《转法轮》。现在,他已经学了三年,不仅能够用中文博览群书,还讲得一口流利的普通话。

图2:波格丹(左二)和他的家人。

波格丹的家人对他修炼法轮功感到欣喜。他的妈妈总是希望儿子能够与人为善。妈妈告诉他:她一直在为波格丹祈祷。神回应了她,引导波格丹找到了法轮功。他的妹妹也喜笑颜开:“我又有哥哥了,我的哥哥回来了。”

慈悲为怀 感化他人

波格丹找到一份正经的工作,在餐馆当厨师。他的主管嗜酒,多次找他借钱。修炼后,波格丹变得心地善良,总会借给他。久而久之,主管欠他的钱越来越多。

波格丹意识到不能一直持续下去。主管不仅找他借钱,还开始向所有同事借钱,同事们在背后抱怨主管欠钱不还。波格丹没有抱怨,而是直接找到主管并告诉他:“你不能再找同事借钱,这么做不对。”然而,这个主管总是处处针对波格丹,对他尖酸刻薄,大发脾气。波格丹只是微微一笑。他说:“我不怎么放在心上。因为我知道,普通人经历的痛苦,远远比你看到的多。”

直到主管又一次向波格丹借钱,波格丹和善且坚定地告诉他:“如果你再找同事借钱,老板迟早会知道,你会失去工作。你不能一直拿别人的钱,伤害他们,不靠自己的能力生活。我不会找老板告状,但是你必须知道,你要为你的行为承担后果。”

接着,波格丹跟他分享了在大法中学到的法理,“以前,我偷车、吸毒,所有人告诉我做错了,我从来不听。直到我明白了善恶有报、因果报应真实存在。当你从别人那里拿走本不属于你的东西,你在失德,你将会付出代价。”

这个主管听了以后哭了。他说:“别人都是恶狠狠地对我,从来没有人像你这样用道理来劝我。我欠你的钱最多,可你对我的态度却最温和。你怎么做到无怨无恨,心平气和地跟我说话?”有感于波格丹的善意,主管意识到他不能再继续欠债不还了。

从那以后,主管变了。他开始向波格丹还钱。波格丹告诉他,欠他的钱不用还了,先把欠其他同事的钱还清。最后,主管把欠的债还完了,还和波格丹成为了无话不谈的朋友。

谦谦君子 闻过则喜

图3:波格丹正在打坐。通过修炼,他明白了善恶有报的道理。

修炼前,有个算命先生告诉波格丹:你有个法力超强的守护天使。当时的波格丹嗤之以鼻:哪有什么守护天使?和他一起吸毒的朋友们,每次犯罪都不会受到任何惩罚。可是只要波格丹出手,必定会被警察抓。他不仅遭受枪击,赃物也遭到全数没收。

修炼后,波格丹突然发现,正是这个天使对他的守护,才会让他每次犯错都受到惩罚,及时消去了罪业,还让他明白错误会有后果,要走上正确的道路。而那些朋友们则在无节制的作恶中走上了不归路,面临严重的后果。

现在,波格丹的家人和朋友总是对他赞誉有加。他说:“师父在经文里提到:‘作为一个修炼者,在常人中所遇到的一切苦恼都是过关;所遇到的一切赞扬都是考验。’在听到赞美时,我总是提醒自己不要飘飘然。其实我更希望听到别人指出我的不足。作为修炼人,我要用更高的道德标准要求自己。感谢师父让我走上修炼的道路,成为发自内心幸福的生命!”

朋友,您知道吗?从1992年5月开始,到2010年底为止,法轮功已经传到114多个国家,在那里人们都可以自由自在的炼功…

可是,在中国,从1999年7月20日开始,江泽民因为妒忌法轮功人数众多,对法轮功恶毒的诽谤与迫害。社会上很多人听信了共产党媒体的宣传和煽动,对法轮功产生了很深的误解与仇恨。

最为恶劣的,是在2001年1月导演了一场所谓的”自焚”闹剧,并通过新华社以从未有过的速度向全世界散播,嫁祸法轮功。这场闹剧,后被包括服务于联合国的国际教育发展组织(IED)在内的多个国际组织认定为虚假编造。朋友,您愿意把法轮功真相与更多的人分享吗?

[Minghui.org] Poland: People in Hirschberg Support Falun Gong (Photos)

 August 13, 2011 | By a Falun Gong practitioner in Poland

Another lady observed the Falun Gong exercises for a long time. She said repeatedly, “The movements are beautiful! The peaceful music reminds me of a peaceful world, without wars, fighting, or bad things in society. I wish I could live in that world.” 

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners in Poland held activities in Jelenia Gora (also called Hirschberg) on August 5, 2011, to introduce Falun Gong to local residents and to expose the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong over the past 12 years.

Falun Gong practitioners tell people about Falun Gong in Hirschberg.
Two ladies in Hirschberg learn how to practice Falun Gong.
A reporter interviews a Falun Gong practitioner. 

Local residents in Hirschberg sign a petition to protest the persecution of Falun Gong.

Jelenia Gora means “deer mountain,” as does the German name Hirschberg. It was the first time Falun Gong practitioners held activities in this town. They set up displays and a table on the local city hall square, distributed introduction flyers, and collected signatures on a petition calling for an end to the persecution. Practitioners also demonstrated Falun Gong exercises, which drew great interest from the local passersby. 

One lady said, “Social things are getting worse and worse. People don’t seem to care much about right and wrong. Your activity is very meaningful! It reminds us of the importance of basic moral values.” Another lady observed the Falun Gong exercises for a long time. She said repeatedly, “The movements are beautiful! The peaceful music reminds me of a peaceful world, without wars, fighting, or bad things in society. I wish I could live in that world.” 

A young man was greatly disturbed by the brutality of the persecution of Falun Gong. He signed the petition and came back several times to get Falun Gong flyers to distribute in nearby restaurants. He told everyone he met about the persecution and told them to go the city hall square that day to learn more about Falun Gong. His grandmother made a special trip to the square to sign the petition. 

A reporter came to the activities and interviewed the practitioners. A detailed report was published with pictures as the headline on the Hirschberg information center’s home page.

【明慧网】波兰鹿山市民支持法轮功反迫害(图)

 文: 波兰法轮功学员

一位身着华丽服装的女士,长时间站在那里观看法轮功功法,对每个动作都显示出极大兴趣并反复说:“这动作是多么漂亮,音乐是多么宁静祥和,这让人想起和平世界,让人想起没有战争、没有打斗等不良社会现象的世界,真希望能生活在那样的世界里。”

【明慧网二零一一年八月十一日】二零一一年八月五日,波兰法轮功学员来到西南山城耶莱尼亚古拉(Jelenia Gora),向当地民众介绍以“真、善、忍”为修炼原则的法轮功,并揭露中共对法轮功长达十二年的残酷迫害

耶莱尼亚古拉的意思是有鹿的山区,所以也叫鹿山市。因为是首次来到这个城市介绍法轮功,法轮功学员将地点选择在当地市政厅广场上。他们支起真相展板和展台,并在展台上摆放了很多真相传单和资料及反迫害的征签簿。学员们在平静祥和的炼功音乐中开始向过往行人展示法轮功功法,很快许多鹿山市居民集聚过来,他们有的全神贯注地阅读展板上关于迫害真相的说明,有的在征签表上签字,还有的在看学员演示功法。

一位波兰女士说:“目前社会问题越来越严峻,人们对好与坏都不在乎,你们的活动真有意义,让人能重温这些人类的基本道德价值观。”

一位身着华丽服装的女士,长时间站在那里观看法轮功功法,对每个动作都显示出极大兴趣并反复说:“这动作是多么漂亮,音乐是多么宁静祥和,这让人想起和平世界,让人想起没有战争、没有打斗等不良社会现象的世界,真希望能生活在那样的世界里。”

有位年轻的男孩,在了解到法轮功受迫害的真相后,身心受到极大的震动,他不仅在征签簿上签名,还多次来拿法轮功真相传单,自动到附近的餐厅中散发。他告诉他见到的每个人法轮功在中国是如何受到迫害的,并告诉人们:今天你可以到市政厅广场学炼法轮功。后来他的祖母也专门赶来在反迫害征签簿上签了名。

波兰学员的活动不仅受到鹿山居民的欢迎,也受到了当地记者的关注。记者专门采访了法轮功学员扬(Jan)。采访报道文章当天作为头版头条刊登在鹿山网络信息中心的主页上,该文以《在市政厅广场上发出的对中共的抗暴声音》为题并配有照片,大篇幅报道了波兰法轮功学员在当地市政厅广场举行的谴责中共迫害,向民众讲真相的活动。
