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. |
