In the misty secular world,
Dreams and illusions are as transitory as clouds and fog.
Grace, hatred, sentiment and vengeance, but fleeting clouds are these.
Where does one find a pure land in the human realm?
When ghostly clouds are covering the sun,
The radiance of the enlightened beings is revealed.
In ordinary places loftiness and purity are found.
They repel the misty fog and form benevolent relationships.
The spring breeze becomes sweet elixir
That nourishes our heart.
It is enormously good fortune to encounter "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" in this life
And, thus, to be able to carry pure land everywhere you go.
I am a very quiet person. I like anything beautiful, even when it's not on the surface. I strive to constantly improve myself, to always find areas where I fall short, and to work hard on becoming a better person.
I've been a searcher most of my life, I always felt that everything in this world was empty and without meaning, temporary. I found my peace a couple years ago in a practice called Falun Dafa. It is an ancient qigong practice that used to be taught to only 1 disciple in each generation, it was brought to the public in 1992 by Li Hongzhi.
I feel like everyone has a path that is right for them, Falun Dafa teaches truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance - to always treat others with kindess and patience, to always be truthful to yourself and to those around you, and to be tolerant of those whose beliefs are different from yours. In my perception, the world you experience is a reflection of your inner world, when you can be unaffected by the negative aspects of people and society and only spread what is good, when you follow a pure path, life becomes an entirely different experience.
The excercises consist of 5 easy to learn forms that somewhat resemble Tai-Chi, there is also a tranquil sitting meditation. The excersises are always taught for free and are practiced in parks, it is against the teachings to ever collect money for lessons.
I do alot of volunteer work to help stop the persecution in China, for the first time in my life I feel that I truly understand what compassion is. In 1999 There were an estimated 70,000,000 to 100,000,000 people practicing Falun Dafa in China. The Chinese Communist Party on the other hand only had around 64,000,000 members. Fearing It's growing popularity, they launched an extremely brutal persecution which is going on to this day. If you'd like, you can read the report done by the United Nations here:
