The Most Precious Gift of A Winter Vacation (III)
By Yu Fang of Kaohsiung, Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) The short winter vacation is over. Since I started
practicing Falun Dafa, the students in my classes have been guided by the
principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." From the
changes they have experienced, I can see that this precious gift has brought joy
to their lives. I wanted to offer a Falun Dafa exercise class for students at
the Minghui School over their winter vacation. On the last day of the ten-day class, I was reluctant to say good-bye to all
the students. The classes provided the young disciples and their parents with a
cultivation environment that helped them improve together. It also helped me to
enlighten to principles at different levels and to get rid of many attachments.
No matter how much you give, what you attain is beyond description. The following is the experience and thoughts of some of the participants. My Children Participate in Winter Falun Dafa Exercise Class Xia Cuimiao (Mother of Jun Lin and Duo Yao) I was excited at the news that Yu Fang, a teacher at the Zhuangjing Primary
School in Kaohsiung, was going to offer a Winter Falun Dafa Exercise Class for
the young students. I knew that she would give the children a very good
cultivation environment during their winter vacation. My children went joyfully
to the class to study and do the exercises every day. If they were at home, it
would be hard for me to get them to practice like this. What impressed me was
that my five-year-old son would sit still instead of running around. For that I
really admire Yu Fang. After talking with her, I realized that I lack the pure
heart of a child. Whenever I tried to educate my children, I could not let go of
the rigid attitude of a parent. Hence, I often had conflicts with them. This was
in sharp contrast to Yu Fang's genuine happiness when teaching the young
disciples. Seeing that the young disciples, apart from studying the Falun Dafa books and
doing the exercises, playing freely in school, I was extremely happy. It has not
only replaced their old habit of watching TV or playing video games, but also
helped them raise their xinxing levels. From other parents I learned
that many young disciples have benefited from the class. I think it was the
parents who benefited the most. When young disciples go out to promote Dafa, the effect is very good. Yu Fang
arranged some outdoor teaching and promotional activities. A group of over 30
people went to the ice sculpture exhibition and watched a 3D film. The young
disciples performed the waist-drum and the Falun Gong exercises outside the ice
sculpture exhibition. I was with them, and it is hard to describe my feelings
when I saw the happy young disciples. After we returned to school, Yu Fang
taught the students the principle that good is rewarded with good. She discussed
the 3D film and how parents should treat their children. I am really grateful to
her for her selfless contribution. She took every child as her own, giving them
a rich and joyful winter vacation. Of course, I am also among those who have
greatly benefited from it. Falun Dafa Winter Exercise Class Xu Junlin (3rd grader) When doing the second exercise, I felt that my arms were extremely tired.
Sometimes I could hang on and finish the exercise, but sometimes I just put my
arms down. I really liked the winter class. I made a lot of new friends. I also
liked the teacher, Yu Fang. She took us to her home and we made dumplings
together. The dumplings we made were delicious. I hope we can eat such tasty
dumplings next time. This afternoon, we are going to see the ice sculpture and
will play on the slide. The winter Falun Dafa exercise class is really fun. Experience Sharing Liu Yitong (6th grader) I am very glad to be able to attend the Falun Dafa exercise class in
Jingzhuang Primary School. Ever since I attended the class, I have become more
and more interested in studying the Fa and doing the exercises.
Whenever I have time, I recite "Lun Yu", Hong Yin and Hong
Yin (II). Yu Fang leads us in doing the five sets of exercises and reading Zhuan
Falun and Essentials for Further Advancement. We also learned to play
the waist drum. I feel very happy. Studying the Fa and doing the exercises can
not only eliminate one's karma, but also improve the "xinxing" level. On the last day, we went to the ice sculpture exhibition and played on the
ice slide. I also performed the waist drum and the five exercises outside. We
distributed Falun Dafa materials, too. It was indeed a day full of fun and
meaning. I am grateful to Yu Fan and for efforts of others who organized all the
activities. I will do better in the three things Master asks us to do - study
the Fa well, do the exercises, and send forth righteous thoughts. Doing the Falun Gong Exercises at Zhuangjing Primary School. Liu Peitong (5th grader) Although it was only for two weeks, I was very happy to be there with Yu
Fang. She really knows how to deal with kids. I badgered my mom to get to go to
Zhuangjing Primary School, although I knew that it might be impossible. I felt
that I would be very fortunate if I could be a student in Yu Fang's class. Many parents think of us first and want to see us become better, but we often
do not appreciate our parents concern. We might learn to cherish this only when
we are about to lose it. When doing the exercises, I should not open my eyes and
look around. Next time, I will close my eyes. How time flies. I hope next time, Yu Fang can take us to study the Fa and do
the exercise together. Next time I will make greater progress. Experience Sharing Guo Zhiquan (6th grader) I am very grateful to Yu Fang and the other parents who accompanied us in
doing the exercises and studying the Fa. We learned that the purpose of being a
human being is to return to one's original true self.
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" is the basic principle of life.
I hope I can attend a class like this again next time. Experience in the Winter Fa-study Class Guo Zhiyuan (4th grader) I thank Yu Fang for helping me in doing the Falun Gong exercises and Fa-study.
From this experience we learned how to cultivate ourselves. I hope everybody can
learn "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and then there will not be
bad people. Besides, to practice Falun Gong is really good. I have to thank all
the mothers for their good will. (To be continued...) Written on March 15, 2005
