An Ingenuous Child: Our Class Is Now Well Behaved
By a young practitioner in Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) I am a sixth-grade student attending elementary school. Just shortly
after the school began this semester, my teacher asked us to read a heavenly book called Zhuan
Falun and also taught the female students in my class how to do the Falun Gong exercises. I have found that reading Zhuan Falun has been very good for me. Before I had read Zhuan
Falun I would easily lose my temper, but now I have learnt to control it better and I don't lose
my temper as easily. Sometimes I would also fight with my younger brother, but now I never fight
with him as my temperament has also improved. Before the students started to practice Falun Gong we
were very noisy and would fight with each other during our break time. Since we started to practice
Falun Gong, we behave very well. Before, when the male students in my class decided they disliked a certain female student, I
followed them and stop talking to her. After reading Zhuan Falun, I went to her and
reconciled with her, which made her very happy. When the male students say bad words to her, she
wants to retaliate and return the abuse. I prevent her, saying, "It doesn't matter if they say
bad words to you, because when they do, they give you the white substance -- de [When one does a
good deed, one acquires this white substance, de], and your black substance -- karma [When
one does a bad deed, one obtains the black substance, karma], will be given to them. Then your
karma will be reduced. Through this we became good friends." A while ago, I read Zhuan Falun twice, but I still didn't understand what genuine
cultivation practice was. Now, I have finally realized that the principles stated in Zhuan Falun
need to be applied in our daily life. I will spend my summer holiday time to diligently read Zhuan Falun and practice the
exercises. I will take care of my younger brother and I will never fight with him. I will never say
bad words to other male students and moreover I will change my menacing character and harmonize with
my classmates. Certainly, I must thank the author of Zhuan Falun, our great merciful Teacher.
