Our Group Exercise Site: Puren Elementary School in Jhongli City, Taoyuan County, Taiwan
By a practitioner from Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) The playing field of Puren Elementary School, in
Jhongli City, Taoyuan County, Taiwan, is open to the public. Many adults and
children play ball or jog there every day. The Falun Gong group exercise site at Puren Elementary School was set up in
February 2002. Practitioners go there to do the exercises between 4:50 a.m. and
6:10 a.m. every day. Many citizens who get up early see the banner--"Falun
Dafa is good" every day. Mr. Gao, a Falun Gong practitioner, said that his health and temperament were
greatly improved after he started practicing Falun Gong. His family life became
more harmonious. He asked himself: "Why don't I help more people know about
this good cultivation practice by setting up an exercise site and doing the
exercises outside in public?" So, he started the exercise site at Puren
Elementary school. Mr. Gao works at a water factory. Somebody brought a copy of Zhuan
Falun to his office, and he read the book three times. He felt
that the principles Master Li explained in Zhuan Falun are very pure and
righteous. He learned how to treat conflicts as a cultivator. The principles in
the book answered many questions he had had. So he began cultivation practice. Mr. Gao always tries to treat all the conflicts he encounters in daily life
according to the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."
Last year, his company gave evaluations to every employee. All of his co-workers
were evaluated as "Excellent," but he only got a "Good."
Since he had been working very hard, many people, including his supervisor,
didn't think it was fair, and they suggested that he complain to the leaders of
the company. Mr. Gao said that after practicing Falun Gong, he has learned that everybody
has his own fate. If he complains and therefore gets an "Excellent,"
it may cause another person to end up with a "Good," and then he would
owe that person. He told his co-worker that a cultivator doesn't care about
personal benefit, and he would even work harder. Last September, Mr. Gao's workplace rewarded him and another person as
"Excellent Model Workers." Last October, he was evaluated as
"Excellent." This manifests Falun Dafa's principle of "Gaining
naturally without pursuit." The change in Mr. Gao encouraged Mrs. Gao to start cultivation. Before, Mr.
Gao always tried to stop Mrs. Gao from going back to visit at her parents'
house, because when she was gone, nobody would be there to cook for him. But
now, he thinks of this issue from her point of view. He sometimes goes to her
parents' house with her. Changes like this in Mr. Gao moved Mrs. Gao and made
her curious about Falun Gong. So she also started practicing. After the exercise site was set up, some citizens came to learn the
exercises. An old gentleman told Mr. Gao that the exercise music was very
beautiful, which made him want to learn the practice. Falun Gong taught Mr. Gao and many others the principles of life. He hopes
that more people will join them to experience the beauty of Falun Gong and
practice cultivation so as to return to their original, true selves. |
