Young Disciple: This Is How I Cultivate My Xinxing

By a young disciple from China

(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Yiming, and I am 7 years old. I have practiced Falun Dafa for one year. I want to talk about how I've been cultivating my xinxing.

I remember when I first started cultivation, my mom read Zhuan Falun to me and taught me to do the exercises. I pulled her hands and wept. I said: "You are really good." Mom told me later, "All this is arranged by Master."

When I studied Master's poem "Genuine Cultivation" in Hong Yin, Mom read it only twice and I learned it. I felt that those words were very familiar to me. At that moment, I seemed to know my past.

During my later cultivation, I saw that Master is teaching the Fa at very high levels. I saw the beautiful Falun World. Although my celestial eye is open, I am not attached to it. When other practitioners asked me to see how high their cultivation level was, I always said that Teacher told us, "One's gong level is as high as one's xinxing level" (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun, Third Translation Edition)

Once, when mom and I were studying "Characteristics of Falun Dafa" in Zhuan Falun, I suddenly wanted to read the book myself, and I felt that I could read all of Zhuan Falun. Although I could recognize only a few words, I managed to read all of them out loud. Mom said, this is the power of Dafa. Master gave me the wisdom to do it!

When I started to do the cross legged meditation, it was very painful. Once when I cried out due to the pain, I saw some small black bugs with six claws drop from my leg. Then they became white stuff like candy floss and surrounded my body. On that day, I crossed my legs in meditation for 103 minutes. Master smiled at me.

Now I am a first grader in elementary school. Once a classmate hit me five times, and I could not stop myself from crying. After going back home, Mom saw that my face was dirty from the crying, so she studied the article "What is Forbearance " with me. My Dad, who is not a practitioner, also reminded me with one sentence in "What is Forbearance (Ren)?", "To endure with anger, grievance, or tears is the forbearance of an everyday person who is attached to his concerns." We also studied what Master taught, ""You have gained four ways in one shot", in "Transformation of Karma". The next day, before I went to school, Mom asked me, "What if your classmate hits you again?" I was afraid to let Dad hear, so I held out four fingers. Mom understood what I meant, and I went to school happily.

Since the age of six, I have gone to school by bus on my own. I did not need Mom to pick me up and deliver me since Master protects me. I am not scared of anything.

I brought lunch to school every day. Although the canteen lunch sold food that tastes better than the homemade lunch, Master told us to get rid of attachments. So I brought whatever Mom made. Since starting my cultivation, I've only bought snacks three times. Once, when I took off from school, I was so hungry that I really wanted to buy an ice cream, so I took out the allowance that Mom gave to me and stepped up to the vendor. I stood there for a while, and finally changed my mind. Instead, I used this one yuan to buy a bunch of spinach.

I get up at 5:30 a.m. each morning. Sometimes I want to sleep longer since it is warm in bed. But then I would think, if I cannot cultivate successfully and I incarnate into a pig, I can only lie in the pig pen. I'd then sit up immediately. Sometimes before I opened my eyes, I stood up to do the exercises.

I still have a lot of attachments that I have not removed. Sometimes I cannot refrain from eating sweets, and I still get overjoyed sometimes with things. Last year when I was on the honor roll at school, I was so happy that I stayed up too long. I am determined to remove my attachments in order to get back to my true home.
