A rumor that a tiger was spotted downtown is an obvious falsehood, but a rumor, if repeated often enough, can be accepted as truth.
Currently, there is a sense that modern science will continue to advance indefinitely and will eventually discover a complete and consistent theory of the universe. However, as much as modern science has been making great advances, it has also been discovering its limitations.
I’m a long-term resident of Tasmania, and have practiced and studied with our Falun Dafa group in Hobart for the past twenty months. We are fortunate to have a beautiful open practice-site for Sunday morning exercises in a city park
To all those who advocate atheism and negate the concept of a Higher Power, a Spirit, a Creator who arranges everything in the universe, consider this:
There is an old Chinese saying, “Who could have guessed it was a blessing in disguise when the old man on the frontier lost his mare?”
Although I knew that studying the Fa was the most important thing, I did not exactly understand what studying meant. I did read, but always with the purpose of searching for some answers.
Some fellow practitioners studied Fa and practiced exercises everyday. However, when they encountered conflicts, they all wanted to keep the things that they could not let go. Studying Fa is not like monks hitting the Bell, once today and again tomorrow. One has to compare one’s heart with the Fa.
I was born in Prague 51 years ago in communist Czechoslovakia. I want to tell you what I learned and how I changed since I started Falun Gong Cultivation eleven months ago- how I became a better person.
“Selfishness” penetrated my whole cultivation practice; recently I could see my selfishness in a lot of areas. Sometimes a word from other people or an event touched my remaining attachments and shook my heart, causing me to become angry.
Once, in ancient times, there was a couple who cultivated Buddhahood. They were very diligent and offered bundles of incense to the Buddha statue everyday, yet they had not achieved anything.
If everyone is concerned only about themselves and concentrates a lot on their own work goals, eventually practitioners will stop supporting Dafa work as a whole body.
It is widely known that the ancient Chinese were highly accomplished in the arena of science. In fact, there were outstanding scientists in almost every Chinese dynasty.
