Grown up through cultivation practice and do three things
By Truong Lam Huong – Sai Gon – Viet Nam
Greating respected Master, fellow practitioners
My name’s Huong and I am from Saigon, VietNam. I obtained the Fa at the end of 2015, can consider is a new person in cultivation path.
Today I’m really happy to have an opportunity to share my cultivation experiences as well as to give you a common view of the Cultivation practicing Dafa situation in Vietnam currently.
Although I just obtained the Fa two years back, but in those years, I’ve been experienced so many events, witnessing many dramatically changes in myself and also in our cultivation environment in Vietnam.
- Obtained the FA
I obtained the Fa is just a coincidence, I knew about Falun Gong on June of 2015, from my mom, after she obtained the Fa few months. One day, there was some practitioners went out to distribute flyers, then 16 was caught by policemen, after moved them to the center for homeless people, they required the staffs here keep them there, not allow anyone to meet.
When others knew this, they went to that center, stay outside SFRT and Clarify the truth, asking release practitioners. The government officers was really aggressive , they call to have more people from other forces come, even asked food stores, coffee shops around close so we have no place to seat, to eat and to rest.
At that time, I took my mom there to join with other practitioners here, all of us was sit on the sidewalk outside the center to SFRT, even I haven’t known what is SFRT, so I just sit with cross legs and thought “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness, compassion, forbearance is good”
After 3 days “fighting” patiently and politely, the last practitioner was released at very late at night time, we happy went back, there are some practitioners follow my mom come to my place to take rest, cuz they lice in another city quite far from here.
After 3 days went on hunger – strike, even the male was beaten when he was handcuffed, they still happy enjoy the meal like nothing happened, not even be scared , not complaint or angry at all . when I look at them, was surprising and curious , wonder ask myself what exactly is Falun gong ? why it can make those young people have such a positive thingking and lifestyle in this normal life?
After that, I began reading book even it was not easy for me. I was interfeared strongly by the demon of sleepiness ,but at that time I didn’t know about the demon of sleepiness, just can’t explain why I was sleeping like dead whenever I read Zhuan Falun book. After talked to other practitioners and listened to their advices, I was try harder and finally finished the first lesion after few months since I start to read book.
Since then, I began practicing and reading more often, consider myself as a Falun Gong practitioner, try to adjust myself follow the main princible Zhen Shan Ren that Master said in daily activities.
- Do 3 three things as Master required
At the beginning , I usually join other practitioners in my area go to markets or suburb areas to distribute flyers to people, hope more and more people will know about Falun Gong, and more and more people will obtain the Fa then, completely have no idea about clarify the truth of the persecution in China.
3 months after I started to cultivate, there was an event happened that made me change my mind. There was an old practitioner who lives 20 km away from my place and his house was penertrated by policemen late at night, around 9pm. There was nearly 20 people who wear normal clothes without name tags in his house at that time, threaten and control him, then took his materials, books, DVD, other prosperity that irrelevant to DAfa such as Computer, Camera, he suffered heavy losses. The next morning, we and other practitioners in the city went his place to support, we then went to the police station which is near by his house, to clarify the truth and asked them sent Dafa things back to him. They was poisoned seriously by wrong information from Chinese government, so misunderstood and rude to us, thought us as bad people in the society.
When we first came, the one who took responsibility in this case was even hide , also called for more people from other forces come to suppress us, but we not flinched at all.
The next day we immediately write a letter which expose bad things local officers did to the old practitioner, print out 1000 copies , with DAfa materials and handmade lotus flowers, walk around the area where has the police office and practitioner’s house located to distribute to local people, let them know what was happening here to Falun Gong practitioner. While was doing this , two of us was caught by policemen, they was angry took them inside the office and beat them there. We came back to that place, continued SFRT, clarify the truth , asking released those practitioners as well as sent back things that belong to the old practitioner which they was collected. Till the afternoon, two practitioners was released, we continued talk about FalunGong to new staffs come for new shift there, asking them send back stuffs . They asked come back another day so they will discuss more to us. We understand that they were denying to get more time to find solution.
After many days cooperated together clarify the truth to local people around and to the policemen, they gradually clear their mind and changed their attitudes, sent the prosperty back to the old practitioner, but about the Dafa materials, they said they transferred them to the higher department which involved to check the contentof the materials, so they couldn’t take them back for us, and we should go there to ask.
We took it as a chance to clarify the truth to more people , went to few more offices , even they did not gave books and Dafa back to us then, there still were more people understand what is Falun Gong and the truth of it.
Step by step, beside cultivate myself, I also join in the project of clarify the truth to government officers when they interfere practitioners . from the person who hate and scare of policemen, cuz in my eyes, they really corrupt and evil, since I cultivate practice, I realized they are also sentient being, they also need to be saved, so Im not hate them anymore, and could face to face clarify the truth about Falun Gong to them by the forbearance and tolearenceattitude , when they did bad things to practitioners.
Early of my cultivation practicing, I was really surprise and asked myself a lot of questions when I saw my government officers always find way to interfere and persecute practitioners by dirty and evil methods. If more people learn Falun Gong, were there are more people and society get more benefits from it? Why did they stop them?
But when I saw interferences happened everywhere, from urban to subur areas, I realized our government was poisoned seriously by China communist party, because Vietnam is also Communist party, got big influences from Chinese government,so those information they had about falun Gong was all not truth, and so clarify the truth to these classes are really important and nesscessary .
In two years obtained the FA, I witnessed quite a lot interfearances to practitioners in VN. From interfere the practice sites by throwing litter , trash, shrimp paste , paint mix oil to practioners while they are practicing to hire bad guys, security guys at the park come to scold Dafa and beat them, stop them from practicing Falun gong at the park; some places even get higher level of interference like go to practitioners house talk to their family members bad things about Dafa, ask them keep practitioners at home, should not let them go out to practice, collect their books and materials illegally, go to their workplace force the boss fire them or bother them by asking them stop cultivating practice; go to their school ask the principle chase them out of the school; some family members even follow evil said, send practitioners to metal hospital, cooperate to doctor not let them out; when practitioners go out to distribute flyers or asking for signing the petition, they stop their motorbikes, take them and the transport to the office, beat them, collect material, give them a fine for distribute illegal things, if they do not agree and pay a fine, then they keep practitioners ID card or motorbikes or handphone or all the value things of practitioners, make them upset and scared so will not go out next time.
I share these things out not of purpose make you scared or feel poor for Vietnamese practitioners, but only want to let we know that there are still have a lot government officers and local people in my country not clear about Falun Gong and the persecution, and we need to try harder in helping them understand us, stop persecute practitioners, avoid doing bad things to Dafa.
- What is truth clarification?
When I just obtained the Fa, I thought that as long as I practicing frequently , improve my xinxing, eliminated attachments and lust at normal society, become a better person, that’s enough to be a diligent disciple. Steadily , I know it is not like that, there still are so many people misunderstood of Falun Gong and persecute practitioners, stopping new people approach Dafa, so truth clarification to them need to take an important place . but I’ve not understood deeply about Fa enough yet, I got confuse between Hong Fa and tell the truth. I let people know how good Dafa is, hoping them will learn Falun Gong like me, then when they realize it is really good, will find out the information of the persecution in china . I was not dared to share those truths to them at first, cuz I was afraid they will be scared and not come to learn Dafa.
And because of me was persuing them to obtain the Fa, so when they not pay attention on it, I was upset , feel pity for all of my effort in Hong Fa, even travel really far to meet them to give them even only one book.
Master said : For a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple, personal liberation is not the goal of cultivation: when you came, saving sentient beings was your great aspiration, and that is the responsibility and mission history has bestowed upon you in Fa-rectification. Thus great numbers of beings are to be saved by you. Dafadisciples , don’t forsake the magnificent responsibility that has been bestowed upon you in Fa-rectification, and even less should you disappoint those beings, as you are now their only hope for entering the future. For this reason, all Dafa disciples, students both new and veteran, should get to work and begin comprehensively clarifying the truth. – Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World’s People

Now I understand, so I stop Hong fa , just let them know What is Falun Gong, how good it is, how it was expanding and cherish by so many people around the world, and was persecuted in china for last so many years. When they pay more attention and make more questions, I can tell more about it. I got more positive feedback, some people said they have heard about the organ harvesting in china but do not understand why and how they do it, and they thought maybe because Falun gong is not good so they got that persecution. Now they know the truth, then I give them material and ask if they are interested in learning Dafa, can check on itswebsite or contact to the volunteer at that area, they will willing help them to learn.
They all happy receive my flyers then. My heart feel much lighter, cuz I know from now on, whether they cultivate or not, they did know the truth, their lives will be saved cuz they have good thoughts to Dafa . I also often distribute lotus flowers to nowadays people when tell the truth, and ask them remember 9 words “Falun Dafahao, Zhen Shan Ren hao”, when disasters come, they will be saved by great enlightenment , their family will get good luck.
When doing truth clarification to policemen or government officers, I never ask them let study Fa or let practicing 5 exercises to get good health, but at the early of cultivation stage, I often share about typical examples of people who recovered magically from serious illness since they obtain the Fa, the reaction I got back not so good because their main consciousness still be controlled strongly, not get a good impact clarifying the truth.
Now I just focus on the persecution in china and hope they understand clearly, can distingue good and bad , right and wrong things, avoid commit bad deeds to Dafa, besides that, I always bring The book Bloody Harvest of David Kilough and David Matas, also watch “ Round table, China uncensored, Anastasia Lin Speech “ to get more information of the persecution, it help me tell the truth much easier and more reliable
Through going to clarify the truth to policemen or government officers I realized that there are some practitioners still advice those people read the book, practicing 5 exercises to be healthier, then got their reactions like sarcastically said they have no time, or “if Falun Da fa is such that good, do we still need hospital for what, we should all learn Falun gong, is not it?”. Was we giving them more chance to scold Dafa, was not us?
IN my opinion, what we need now is urgently make them understand what is Falun Gong, know clearly about the persecution and show their good attitude to Dafa, that’s how we save them, not by asking ar begging them come to learn Dafa, to show them DAfa is really good.
When we heard of interfearing at somewhere but so far that we cannot come immediately, we will cooperate together call to that police office, tell them the truth and ask them release innocent people, also SFRT to that place to support practitioners. We thought that when they know that there are so many people know the bad thing they are doing here, they will hesitate a bit when tend to treat practitioners unwell. But sometimes cannot avoid the truth that those policemen there are really evil, then we have to arrange, take local bus or rent a big car, together go there as soon as possible to clarify the truth and solve the problem. Those trips always got good results, and through that, somehow can encourage local practitioners more diligent and look at things rationally and do things with righteous thoughts, the situation would be completely different.
I also realized that cultivate myself has tightly relationship and influence strongly to effect of saving sentient beings. When we study Fa and practicing continuously, enormously impact our truth clarification we really has had. Reverse, will not have enough power to eliminate bad thoughts and evil which are controlling sentient beings, stop them realizing Dafa and the truth.
In Vietnam, there are so many practitioners now, it’s not difficult to understand, cuz our Hong Fa process is done very well. Besides that, our medical system is really bad, but very expensive, more and more weird types of illness appear, life being harder and harder, more and more people being desperate and stressful a lot. VN is one of the country that have highest number of patient who get cancer. So many sell every they have just to have money to cure themselves or their relatives, even borrow from others but hopeless, then at the end of the dark tunnel, they find out Falun gong, as a light to take them out of darkness and get better life, they pay nothing for get back so many things from Dafa. So many people obtained the FA like that but just some can realize the truth meaning of cultivation practicing Falun Gong, it is not only a kind of exercise to help them get fit and better health but also a genuine way to return to the original trueself.
Not much people dare to step out and do the third thing, attachment of scary still exit, they even stay at home and judge those who stepped out.
Sometimes it made me tired and upset, pressure not come but oursite interferences but inside , from our fellow practitioners, created more tribulation to saving sentien beings. Some are not practitioners but just spy, want to giancachchinh the.
There is a paragraph in Essential for practicing that made me change my mind and know what is responsibility of Dafa disciple in this Fa retification period, not only study fa and do the exercise, upgrade xinxing, being a good person
“By contrast, when it comes to those who hide in their homes and “study the Fa,” no matter the excuse, it’s actually due to the attachments they can’t let go of. Those people even form little cliques, complain together and make off-base comments to one another, adopt a negative attitude about Dafa disciples’ validating the Fa and everything that Dafa disciples are doing, constantly nitpick about other students’ faults and shortcomings in cultivation, and even spread rumors both in China and beyond. What they do pleases the evil and helps the evil in the persecution. Some people say, “I only read Zhuan Falun, I don’t read the new scriptures.” Are you still my disciple? Let me make this clear to you: the period before July 20, 1999, was one of personal cultivation and comprehending the Fa, and in the process of comprehending it one could arrive at Consummation. But that is not the end of a Dafa disciple’s cultivation. In the ensuing five years, the situation has been reversed. Who can truly make it and who cannot needs to be seen; those who are not truly cultivating are weeded out; and the five years have been a time when those Dafa disciples who truly cultivate establish their mighty virtue and save beings. Why is it that a being needs to be saved by Dafa and me personally? Or, to put it plainly, [think about] what kind of a being is worthy of salvation by the Great Law of the cosmos? For a being who is saved, could it just be about personal Consummation? So what kind of being deserves to be a Disciple of Dafa? Would you say those people who hide in their homes and “study the Fa” do? Or those who only want to gain from Dafa but don’t want to give for Dafa? Furthermore, what about those who, while Dafa disciples are being persecuted, don’t want to speak up for Dafa and yet still “read the book” at home and try to get things from Dafa—what kind of people are they? You be the judge.” -My Version of a “Stick Wake-up” – The essentials of diligent progress vol III.
Through doing 3 things, cooperating to other practitioner help me upgrade my xinxing a lot, gradually eliminate impure thoughts and attachments. When we all have the same thougth while saving sentient beings , can solve problem smoothly, Master will support us to get great rusults , in the contrast , will had bad impact.
Few years back, Chinese tourists come to Vietnam raising , we understand that is Master’s arrangement to give us a chance to save Chinese sentient beings. More and more practitioners travel to tourist cities to join this new project. Not much practitioners can speak Chinese, so we had tried harder in communicating with Chinese tourist, tell them the truth throung sign, boards, flyers, speaker with recorded scripts , impressed so many tourists , they really surprise when see us in yellow shirts printed “Falun DAfaHao, Zhen Shan Ren hao” practicing 5 exercises on the beach. They took picture of us and received flyers, nine commentaries, if they scared they will read the information on the board instead of receiving flyers. Besides focus on new project clarify a truth to Chinese, we also got more interfearences from government , create more tributelation to test pratitionersxinxing. We think it’s all good things, nothing happen for no reason.
Above is my sharing fo my cultivation experiences, if there is any shortcoming,Please kindly help me point out.
Thanks Master, thanks fellow pratitioners

I am still a newcomer on the cultivation path, need to try harder, still have so many human attachments need to be eliminated, sometimes those attachments of comfortable, thought karma have been bothered me, shaking my righteous thought, do not know this path is right or not, lead me to anywhere or not, why did I have to pay a lot of effort like this, why not enjoy life like other nowadays people ..v…v so many reasons appear make me want to lose myself. At those time, I remember Master words :”‘When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.’- Zhuan Falun lecture 9 – to have more encouragements and be diligent on my road, even there are so many obstacle and difficulties are waiting ahead.
Above is my sharing for my cultivation experiences, if there is any shortcoming,Please kindly help me point out.
Thanks Master, thanks fellow practitioners.
