I like the lyrics of this song.
It tells the feeling of what I felt when I just stepped into the society.
Is this what I wanna do? All the questions about life....

陶喆 - 二十二 LYRICS -
春天是她最愛的季節 當微風隨意吹亂她的頭髮
她並不在意身邊世界的吵雜 只想著自己生命中的變化
還有十五分鐘才午休 從早到晚沒有想像中那麼好過
安定的日子不一定就是幸福 忘不掉她在心裡做過的夢
*她今年農曆三月六號剛滿二十二 剛甩開課本要離開家看看這世界
卻發現許多煩惱要面對 Oh yeah *
她常會想望能回到那年她一十二 只需要好好上學生活單純沒憂愁
她就像一朵蓓蕾滿懷希望 秋天是忽然間就來臨
青春雖然有本錢可以灑脫 一場戀愛二十二個月後結束
才知道有些感情不值得賭 九月天氣還是有點熱 她想公車再不來就走一走路
她開始明白等待未必有結果 一個人也能走上夢的旅途 Repeat *
她常會想望能回到那年她一十二 只需要好好上學生活單純沒憂愁
她一直滿懷希望 人生偶爾會走上一條陌路
像是沒有指標的地圖 別讓他們說妳該知足
只有妳知道什麼是妳的幸福 她常會想望能回到那年她一十二
只需要好好上學生活單純沒憂愁 她笑著想過未來 Oh
她應該得到幸福 如此的簡單的夢 有沒有實現
It tells the feeling of what I felt when I just stepped into the society.
Is this what I wanna do? All the questions about life....

Falun Dafa Participates in Belgium's National Day Celebrations
By a practitioner in Europe
(Clearwisdom.net) July 21, 2011, was Belgium's National Day and marked Belgium's 180th anniversary of Belgium becoming a sovereign and independent nation. The Divine Land Marching Band and a Falun Gong exercise demonstration participated in the festivities for the first time this year, adding joy and splendor to Belgium's National Day Celebration.
About 300,000 people gathered in Brussels to watch a grand parade and share the joy of the holiday. The organizers divided the day's event into two parts: one was National Day parade, the other was various activities in the Royal Park in Brussels.
Following a military parade, Brussels Mayor Fred Tillman arrived at the starting point of the parade route to begin the civilian component of the parade. Among 15 parade entries this year, the Divine Land Marching Band was close to the front. Immediately following was a group of Falun Gong practitioners dressed in golden yellow kassayas demonstrating the Falun Gong exercises.

落魔窟三百八十天遭性摧残 胡苗苗返家
【大纪元2011年07月11日讯】(大纪元记者洪宁报导)因修炼法轮功遭受当局劳教所残酷性摧残的胡苗苗,今日终与父亲团聚。在历经三百八十天的非人折磨后,胡苗苗现在非常瘦弱,脸色苍白。
11日上午8时许,为了接女儿胡苗苗回家,胡明亮从远在500多公里以外的张家口市怀安县柴沟堡镇连夜赶到了河北省女子劳教所。当地“六一零”至少6人带车贴身紧盯。此前父女已商量好,坐火车返家,但“六一零”人员胁迫他们要将胡苗苗直接送往当地洗脑班继续迫害一个月。
坐在六一零的车上,胡苗苗身体不适,途中多次出现呕吐。“六一零”人员坚持要将苗苗送至洗脑班,胡明亮严词拒绝,他当即明确表示:“她已经被邪党摧残,现在还要继续行恶,我坚决不答应。”“今天谁敢送她去,我就跟他拚命。”
胡明亮的态度震慑了“六一零”的人,最终他们将父女二人送回家中。“他们真的很邪恶,非常卑鄙,用语言都不足以形容他们的邪恶至极。”胡明亮说。
据胡明亮介绍,胡苗苗因为长期遭受迫害,身体很瘦弱,脸色苍白,看了让人揪心。他心疼地说:“她妈妈去世早,苗苗是我唯一的女儿,说什么我也要保护好她。”
二十五岁的胡苗苗,是河北省怀安县柴沟堡镇人,在张家口市怀安县柴沟堡镇幼儿园任教。她个子高挑,皮肤白净,温婉娴静。
因修炼法轮功,胡苗苗于2010年6月被非法抓捕,在家属没有收到任何法律文件的情况下被非法绑架到河北省女子劳教所,劳教一年。
劳教期间,胡苗苗遭受吊铐、暴力殴打等酷刑折磨,更令人发指的是,劳教所警察纵容犯人对她进行性虐待,她被犯人用膝盖顶、捣烂下身,致骨裂,流血不止,三个月后伤口还未愈合,双腿不能站立行走,严重消瘦。劳教所拒绝她验伤的要求,也不给她医治。
此事件被海外媒体曝光后,迅速引起关注。胡明亮救女儿心切,将自家的平房做了抵押,花钱聘请律师为女儿申冤,河北省劳教局从中百般阻挠律师会见胡苗苗,未给出任何理由。
此间胡明亮也为女儿多次上访,被当局劫持,一度下落不明,后确认被秘密关押在县政府设在农村的黑监狱。
胡明亮表示,在为营救女儿的一年多时间里,自己经营的小本生意水果摊被迫停业,断了生活来源。之所以将房子抵押,为的是能为女儿伸冤,及早帮助女儿逃离人间魔窟。
他说:“女儿很懂事,从不乱花钱。每次去都为她存上些钱,等下次再去,她的钱还没动。她知道我辛苦,很体谅我。”
从2010年6月26日至今日,胡苗苗被中共当局非法劳教关押380天,延期15天。

After 380 Days of Suffering, Kindergarten Teacher Released From Chinese Labor Camp
Father risks all to rescue his daughter
By Hong Ning
Epoch Times Staff
A once vibrant kindergarten teacher returned home on July 11 weak, anemic, and emaciated, released from the Chinese labor camp that had held her for over one year. She likely owes her freedom to her father's vigorous protest of a last-minute attempt by regime thugs to hold her even longer.
Hu Miaomiao had been abducted from her home in Zhangjiako City in Hebei Province in northeastern China on June 15, 2010 and was sentenced on June 26 to one year in the Shijiazhuang Women’s Forced Labor Camp for what the Chinese Communist Party calls “reform through labor.”
Miaomiao, a tall woman who is described as having a kind and gentle manner, was 25 years old. She practiced Falun Gong and the local 610 Office—a nationwide, extra-constitutional Party organ created to “eradicate” Falun Gong—accused her of telling other people about the benefits of the spiritual practice.
During her 380 days in labor camp, the staff sought to “transform” Miaomiao—force her to give up her belief in Falun Gong.
Miaomiao suffered torture, including being hung by handcuffs around her wrists, prolonged sessions of beating, and violent sexual abuse. During a grotesque torture session on Aug. 28, 2010, conducted by a prostitute and two drug addicts on the orders of camp guards, Miaomiao’s pubic bone was fractured and she suffered injuries to her uterus.
She was denied medical treatment, although she was in constant pain and had difficulty walking for months afterwards, according to reports from insiders at the labor camp submitted to the Falun Gong website Clearwisdom.net.
er father, Hu Mingliang, came to take her home on July 11, having traveled the 310 miles from Zhang Jiakou City. Before the two of them could board the train that would take them home, six individuals from the local 610 Office forced them into a car.
The 610 officials, after having already extended her labor camp stay by 15 days, intended for Miaomiao to spend another month in a local brainwashing center. While in the car Miaomiao, clearly very ill, vomited a few times.
Her father then put his life on the line for his daughter, according to the account Hu later gave to The Epoch Times. He told the 610 officials that they had already subjected her to extreme cruelty and yet “you still want to continue abusing her. I firmly oppose this. Whoever wants to take her has to do it over my dead body.”
The 610 personnel were deterred by Hu’s firm stand, and, finally, they sent father and daughter home.
“They are so evil and despicable. Words cannot describe how evil they are,” said Hu to The Epoch Times.
Hu said that Miaomiao was emaciated, very weak, and anemic due to constant abuse. Her condition is heart-rending, he said. “Miaomiao is my only daughter, and I will protect her, whatever it takes.”
In January, after months of fruitless visits to the labor camp, Hu had been allowed to see his daughter for the first time since her abduction. After he learned what had been done to her, Hu gave up his livelihood as owner of a little fruit stand business in order to concentrate on rescuing her. With no source of income, he mortgaged his house so that he could hire a lawyer.
After visiting Beijing to appeal to higher authorities on behalf of his daughter, he was, on his next trip to the labor camp, taken away to a “black prison” (a secret, off the books prison) run by the county government. He was held there for a little over three weeks and then released.
The lawyer he hired was never allowed to see Miaomiao and eventually was forced by his law firm to drop the case.
Media outside of China have reported on Miaomiao’s case, which may have helped in her eventual release.

Falun Gong Survivors of Torture See Themselves Depicted in Art
Falun Dafa mothers and children honored in paintings
By Gary Feuerberg
Epoch Times Staff
WASHINGTON—Chunmei Ma was reminded of her life in China by a painting of a child who looks about 3 years old. Police are restraining his mother while other police are hauling away the family’s possessions, including his toys. The painting is called “House Raid” and the artist is Chongqi Yao.
This painting was one of several on exhibit July 19–20 at the John A. Wilson building, where the Washington mayor’s office is located and the D.C. Council meets. The exhibit has toured more than 40 countries and 200 cities.
The office of Councilmember Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) sponsored the exhibit in the atrium of the building. The timing on July 20 was to mark the 12th anniversary of the effort launched by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1999 to “eradicate” Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa).
“The Art of Truth, Compassion, Tolerance International Art Exhibition,” consists of paintings by over 12 artists, who share in common the practice of Falun Gong. Falun Gong is a spiritual practice that involves doing five sets of meditative exercises and living according to the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
“The artists have personally experienced suppression and imprisonment as a result of the persecution,” said Karen Chen, the coordinator for the exhibit. Chen said that the exhibit is a historic record of Falun Gong practitioners’ brutal persecution, as well as the serenity and peacefulness of the practice as practitioners attempt to safeguard justice and peace by upholding the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
Persecuted Mothers and Children
Ma, originally from Liaoyuan City (Jilin Province) in Northeast China, was separated from her 7-year-old son when she was arrested on Nov. 16, 1999, in Tiananmen Square and taken to Heihuizi Women Forced Labor Camp in Changchun (Jilin Province). She was arrested because she had appealed to the Beijing government to cease the persecution of Falun Gong.
Ma, 42, was in Washington with two other female survivors tortured for practicing Falun Gong: Zhang Lianying, 49, from Beijing, and Yu Zhenjie, 60, from Mudanjiang City (Heilongjiang Province) in Northeast China. They have been telling their stories to members of Congress and to attendees at the art exhibit.
Zhang and husband Niu Jinping were abducted in front of their 4-year-old daughter Qingqing, on April 20, 2008, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) arrested more than 500 practitioners in Beijing in the run-up to the 2008 Olympics. Zhang was sent in July 2008 to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province.
Zhang told New Tang Dynasty Television on May 23, “During holidays, Qingqing would hide in the bathroom in the middle of the night and cry. She told her aunt she missed mom and dad and wondered if we had anything good to eat.”
Yu’s daughter was a student at Heilongjiang University when Yu was sent to the Qiqihar Shuanghe Forced Labor Camp in December 1999. The daughter, also a practitioner, was expelled from school, tortured, and brainwashed.
In October 2006, Ma crossed the border into Thailand in disguise. Yu also fled China to Thailand, coming stealthily through the mountains. Eventually both were caught and sent to a Thai refugee prison. Ma and Yu received U.N. refugee status and found asylum in the United States.
Zhang and Niu and their daughter Qingqing came openly to the United States on a commercial flight. By some miracle, they were able to get visas to leave, said Levi Browde, Falun Dafa Information Center spokesperson, quoted in an article by AFP.
All three mothers were lucky to have survived.
Zhang is the luckiest with both husband and daughter by her side. Qingqing was finally happy and smiling when told they are safe in this country. Ma has not seen her son since their last half hour together in 2006. Yu’s daughter’s whereabouts are unknown.
Practitioner Accounts of Torture
In May or June 2000, orders went out from the CCP’s 610 Office—an extrajudicial Party organ that oversees the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners—to “transform” practitioners at Ma’s camp, to force them to renounce their belief in Falun Gong.
“As soon as a group of guards brought me to the interrogation room, their electric batons shocked me with two batons simultaneously around my neck. My skin instantly had red bumps, and the hair on the back of my neck burnt. They stomped on me, pulled my hair, hit me with their fists, and kicked me.”
Ma said her head ached, she was nauseous and in a weakened state. When she woke up after passing out, they would beat her again. Once she was cuffed for three days without a drop of water to the Death Bed, a metal bed that pulls one's limbs in four directions.
An account of the torture of Lianying Zhang can be read at the Clearwisdom website. Zhang described the Death Bed torture as “most excruciating” when the guards pulled the ropes fastened to poles of the bed with all their might.
“I was stretched more than 20 times. The longest session lasted three days and three nights. … I was stretched while the guards shocked my armpits, inner thighs, and other sensitive areas. I went into convulsions, and my flesh was burned. The wounds would not heal for a long time.”
Yu said she was sent to the Mudanjiang public hospital, where she was shackled with heavy anklets and injected with unknown drugs. She became incontinent as a result and the pain was greater than childbirth, she said. She lost consciousness and later her memory. When she was near death, her younger brother was able to get her released into his custody, and soon after, practitioners helped hide her and eventually helped her to escape to Thailand.
Thanks to being able to return to Falun Gong practice, she was able to walk again in less than two months, Yu said to the Epoch Times.
Yu spoke of being shamed when, for three days, police stripped off her clothes and let others watch. She could not move her body and was unable to resist.
Ma and Yu said they had good marriages, but due to pressure from the CCP, their husbands were coerced into divorcing them.
Blood Tested
Ma recounted physical checkups and injections she was given that left her with swollen legs and unable to walk. Her captors took her to the hospital to check her blood, but would not let her see the results. Later, after she came to the United States in September 2009, she learned about the organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners.
“I was almost butchered by the CCP for organs,” Ma said.
Two practitioners, Men Yanxi and Zhao Lianhua, who were in the same cell with her, did not have visible injuries to their bodies, but were carried out after losing consciousness after some unknown torture.
“I had a feeling they were both murdered. I tried looking for them, but their whereabouts are unknown.”
Professor Sen Nieh, chair of Mechanical Engineering at Catholic University of America and spokesperson for the Washington, D.C,. Falun Dafa Association, went with the three survivors to visit members of Congress on Capitol Hill, acting as their interpreter.
The group met with Legislature Correspondent Coalter Baker at the office of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), where Nieh said he discovered, “They did not realize that they were candidates for organ harvesting when they were being detained until after they came to America and learned about it.”
Nieh said, “Practitioners get a physical exam and are blood tested. Because they are physically abused, tortured, and often killed, this cannot be for their health.”
Reactions
John Williams, a police officer, said of the painting depicting the police raid, “It shows human dignity taken away from the individual. … As we speak, they don’t subscribe to anything that really resembles humanity.”
Michael Anderson, who works in the attorney general’s office in the Wilson building, said, “That is unspeakable that atrocities could go on like this in this day and time. I don’t understand why anybody would want to torture anybody like that.”
Russell Campbell, chairman of the Montgomery County Human Rights Commission, said that opposition to the persecution must be put on the record. “This must stop and must stop now,” he said.

My skin instantly had red bumps, and the hair on the back of my neck burnt. They stomped on me, pulled my hair, hit me with their fists, and kicked me.”
Ma said her head ached, she was nauseous and in a weakened state. When she woke up after passing out, they would beat her again. Once she was cuffed for three days without a drop of water to the Death Bed, a metal bed that pulls one's limbs in four directions.
An account of the torture of Lianying Zhang can be read at the Clearwisdom website. Zhang described the Death Bed torture as “most excruciating” when the guards pulled the ropes fastened to poles of the bed with all their might.
“I was stretched more than 20 times. The longest session lasted three days and three nights. … I was stretched while the guards shocked my armpits, inner thighs, and other sensitive areas. I went into convulsions, and my flesh was burned. The wounds would not heal for a long time.”
Yu said she was sent to the Mudanjiang public hospital, where she was shackled with heavy anklets and injected with unknown drugs. She became incontinent as a result and the pain was greater than childbirth, she said. She lost consciousness and later her memory. When she was near death, her younger brother was able to get her released into his custody, and soon after, practitioners helped hide her and eventually helped her to escape to Thailand.
Thanks to being able to return to Falun Gong practice, she was able to walk again in less than two months, Yu said to the Epoch Times.
Yu spoke of being shamed when, for three days, police stripped off her clothes and let others watch. She could not move her body and was unable to resist.
Ma and Yu said they had good marriages, but due to pressure from the CCP, their husbands were coerced into divorcing them.
Blood Tested
Ma recounted physical checkups and injections she was given that left her with swollen legs and unable to walk. Her captors took her to the hospital to check her blood, but would not let her see the results. Later, after she came to the United States in September 2009, she learned about the organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners.
“I was almost butchered by the CCP for organs,” Ma said.
Two practitioners, Men Yanxi and Zhao Lianhua, who were in the same cell with her, did not have visible injuries to their bodies, but were carried out after losing consciousness after some unknown torture.
“I had a feeling they were both murdered. I tried looking for them, but their whereabouts are unknown.”
Professor Sen Nieh, chair of Mechanical Engineering at Catholic University of America and spokesperson for the Washington, D.C,. Falun Dafa Association, went with the three survivors to visit members of Congress on Capitol Hill, acting as their interpreter.
The group met with Legislature Correspondent Coalter Baker at the office of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), where Nieh said he discovered, “They did not realize that they were candidates for organ harvesting when they were being detained until after they came to America and learned about it.”
Nieh said, “Practitioners get a physical exam and are blood tested. Because they are physically abused, tortured, and often killed, this cannot be for their health.”
Reactions
John Williams, a police officer, said of the painting depicting the police raid, “It shows human dignity taken away from the individual. … As we speak, they don’t subscribe to anything that really resembles humanity.”
Michael Anderson, who works in the attorney general’s office in the Wilson building, said, “That is unspeakable that atrocities could go on like this in this day and time. I don’t understand why anybody would want to torture anybody like that.”
Russell Campbell, chairman of the Montgomery County Human Rights Commission, said that opposition to the persecution must be put on the record. “This must stop and must stop now,” he said.

青年学子的修炼故事:积极向上的人生观 College Student: A Positive and Hopeful Outlook on Life
修炼后的林利娜不再觉得迷茫,她很清楚自己要什么,该做什么,积极向上。After practicing Falun Gong, Lin Lina knows what she wants and what she should do. |
ENGLISH VERSION BELOW
【明慧网二零一一年七月十三日】(明慧记者夏昀台湾采访报道)“修炼”这一词汇,自古以来似乎和“年轻气盛”少有连结。练气功的人,也多半是有了年纪,为了身体健康而练的。然而,在法轮功的修炼团体中,青壮年的比例很高,在各大学的校园中也有为数不少的青年学子。这些青年学子为何被法轮功所吸引?如何踏上修炼之路?而法轮功又给他们带来怎样的转变呢?笔者采访了台湾中部三所大学的部份学子,以下是其中一位的故事。
台湾中部有多所大学院校,而这些学校的教职员工或学生当中,几乎都有人修炼法轮功,有的还设有炼功点、法轮功社团。中兴、东海、逢甲三所大学,是中部最有名的大学,学生人数众多,这三所学校里有多位法轮功学员。
中兴大学有六个研究生修炼法轮功,植物病理学研究所二年级的林利娜是其中一位。林利娜学炼了一年半,这一年半对她的人生观有很大的转变。
在大四近暑假时,林利娜开始接触法轮功。高中时要好的同学爸爸借给她一本《转法轮》,她就看了起来。《转法轮》中有一段话很吸引她:“炼功人他的一生是经过改变的,手像、面像、生辰八字,和身体所带的信息的东西已经不一样了,是经过改变的。”看到这段话,她顿时觉得好象找到了明灯,找到了希望,心中充满喜悦。
林利娜为何有这样的感受呢?在修炼法轮功之前,她觉得人生很迷茫。看着父母,看着周遭的人,终其一生的追求,忙忙碌碌,这是为了什么?人经历生老病死,却不能掌控自己的人生,那么人生的意义在哪呢?所以当她在《转法轮》中读到这段话时,她感到非常高兴,原来人是有希望的,是可以透过修炼来改变的。她想,或许可以找到生命的意义,或许可以自己做生命的主人。于是林利娜正式踏上修炼法轮大法的路。
未修炼前,林利娜很容易受到别人的影响,看到别人拥有什么,自己就想去追求。因此没有固定的喜好,常常三心二意,价值观不稳定。她的争斗心很强,常与人竞争、比较,与人的关系紧张。每当遇到矛盾、麻烦时,心里很乱,不敢承认自己的不足,总想抱怨别人,越抱怨越觉得受委屈,反而越觉得痛苦。因此她的情绪起伏很大。她会借着找人聊天、逛街、玩来舒压。但是,这过程却让她觉得更累,根本不能解决问题。
修炼后,她发现遇到问题时,总能在阅读法轮功指导修炼的经书时,找到自己问题的根源,找到了症结,知道了该如何去修正自己,进而解决矛盾、麻烦。
让她印象最深刻的一次,在研究室中,指导老师因为她的研究问题,严苛地指责她。当时她心里很难过,按常理推测她应该会立即找老师争论、为自己做辩驳,甚至是去找旁人抱怨。然而林利娜并没有这样的举动,反而继续把该做的事情做好。一旁的学姊看在眼里,直夸她很能忍。林利娜知道这是对她心性的考验,她知道如何去面对问题。
林利娜从修炼中了解到,做好事情的本质不在于为了博得他人的赞美或好评,也不是为了与人争高低,而是尽好该尽的责任。于是在向内找自己时,她发现了自己在做事中,的确有抱着草率完成而不求质量的心去做的情形,而且做的过程中有一颗想表现自己的心。这点更是一直以来让自己变得很累的原因。她领悟到,正确的态度是认真做好自己该做的事就行了。此后,她不再象以往一样与人计较,进而做到多体谅别人,自然而然地与别人的矛盾就能化解。
这些发现是自己在修炼法轮功前不曾认识到的,林利娜体会到做好自己份内的事是重点,她不再那么在意别人对自己的看法,于是更加投入到实验工作中,老师对她的信赖也在无意间增加了许多。
现在林利娜与人相处时气氛融洽、轻松自在。这样的转变,正是林利娜修炼的成果。林利娜觉得透过修炼了解自己、改变自己的观念和心态,才能放下更多的烦恼与执著,最终才可能做自己生命的主人。
面对现在的生活,林利娜不再觉得迷茫,她很清楚自己要什么,该做什么,积极而向上。
College Student: A Positive and Hopeful Outlook on Life
By Clearwisdom correspondent Xia Yun from Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) Young people seem rarely to to have anything to do with cultivation. Most who practice qigong seem to do it for personal health reasons; yet, young people represent a large percentage of Falun Gong practitioners. In fact, there are many college students in Taiwan that practice Falun Gong. This is the experience of one such college student.
There are many colleges in central Taiwan, and many students, faculty, and college staff members that practice Falun Gong. Some colleges have regular Falun Gong group practice sites. National Chung Hsing University, Tunghai University, and Feng Chia University are the three most prestigious universities in central Taiwan; each has a large student enrolment. There are many Falun Gong practitioners in these three universities.
There are six graduate students who practice Falun Gong in National Chung Hsing University. One of them is Lin Lina, a second year graduate student in the Institute of Plant Diseases Science. She has been practicing Falun Gong for a year and a half, and it has changed her outlook on life.

National Chung Hsing University, Tunghai University, and Feng Chia University are the three most prestigious universities in central Taiwan; each has a large student enrolment. There are many Falun Gong practitioners in these three universities.
There are six graduate students who practice Falun Gong in National Chung Hsing University. One of them is Lin Lina, a second year graduate student in the Institute of Plant Diseases Science. She has been practicing Falun Gong for a year and a half, and it has changed her outlook on life.
After practicing Falun Gong, Lin Lina knows what she wants and what she should do.
Lin Lina learned of Falun Gong in the summer of her fourth year in college. Her high school friend's father loaned her a copy of Zhuan Falun. She was fascinated by the following sentence, “The entire life of a practitioner has been rearranged. One's palm reading, face reading, birth data, and all messages in one's body are already different and have been changed.” (Zhuan Falun) When she read that, she felt she had found a beacon of hope. Her heart was filled with joy.
Lin was confused about life prior to practicing Falun Gong. People pursue things their entire lives. Why? Everyone goes through birth, old age, illness, and death. Yet, he cannot control his own life. What is the meaning of life? When she read in Zhuan Falun that one's life can be altered through cultivation practice, she felt hopeful and happy. She thought that she might be able to find the meaning of life and be the master of her own life. She was determined to take the path of cultivating Falun Dafa.
Prior to her practice, Lin was easily influenced and wanted to pursue whatever others had. As a result, she often did things half-heartedly and didn't have a firm sense of her own values. She held a strong desire to compete, comparing herself to others and competing with them. There was tension between others and herself. Whenever there was conflict or trouble, she wouldn't admit her own shortcomings. Instead, she always complained about others. The more she complained, the more upset she became. Her mood fluctuated a great deal because of that. When stressed, she would try to talk to others, go shopping, or go out to release tension. However, it only made her more stressed and didn't solve the fundamental problem.
After Lin started practicing, whenever she encountered a problem, she would discover where she fell short by studying the books of Falun Dafa. Then she knew how to correct herself, and it helped solve the conflicts.
One incident impressed Lin the most. Her instructor once criticized her research work sternly. Everyone thought she would defend herself and argue with her instructor. Even though she was hurt, she didn't say a thing about it. Instead, she continued to do her work well. One student saw it and praised her tolerance. Lin knew it was a test of her xinxing and knew how to deal with the problem.
Through her cultivation practice, Lin learned that the purpose of doing things well is not to obtain praise and compliments, nor is it to compete with others. It is to fulfill one's own responsibilities. Through the process of looking inward, she realized that she had the mentality of finishing things in a superficial way and not paying enough attention to the quality. She also had the desire to show off when working on a project. This is what had tired her the most. She realized that the correct attitude is to do what we are supposed to do conscientiously. So, from then on, she gave up her petty mindset and tendency to bicker and tried to be considerate of others. The conflicts were resolved naturally.
She could never have reached those understandings prior to practicing. Lin realized that the key is to do one's own work well. She no longer worries about what people think of her. She worked harder on her research, and her instructor became more confident of her abilities.
Nowadays Lin gets along with others easily. She feels that cultivation has helped her understand herself and change her notions and attitude. As Lin discovered, only then can one eliminate worries and attachments and become a master of his or her own life.
Lin is no longer confused about her life. She knows what she wants and what she should do. She is once again positive and hopeful.
