(Minghui.org) Greetings, Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!
I obtained the Fa in 2002. I currently work in advertising sales at NTD. I would like to share my experience over the past year with everyone.
Removing Attachment to Watching Movies
My wife and I live in an apartment on the fifth floor, and one morning, as I was heading out to do the exercises, there was a terrible smell when I opened the door. I thought: “Whose garbage bag was not properly wrapped?” On walking down to the first floor, I saw a large puddle of vomit. The entire first floor was filled with a pungent, nauseating stench of vomit.
Since we were responsible for cleaning this building, we had to clean it up right away. The floor was covered in a greasy, sticky residue that was extremely difficult to remove. Even after we finished cleaning it, a strong odor lingered, so we had to scrub the floor again that evening, and yet again on the weekend.
I later discussed it with my wife, who is also a practitioner. I said, “How could someone be so outrageous as to vomit in a public area and not clean it up? They really have no social morality!” She said that we practitioners need to look inward and find out why we encountered this. Later she said that it was probably because we watched a video together the night before.
In recent years I had became addicted to video movie shorts. Because I did not have time to watch entire movies, when I had free time after work and got home at night, I would want to relax and watch movie shorts to satisfy the craving. I started watching more and more and became more attached. Sometimes I would watch for several hours straight. It became so bad that when my wife found out and stopped me, I would become angry out of embarrassment. It truly had become a strong attachment. Sometimes the video scenes would appear in my mind even while exercising.
My wife and I realized that these bad videos are as dirty and nauseating as vomit, but I was attached without waking up and kept absorbing these bad substances through my eyes. Thank you, Master, for the hint. After this incident, I decided not to watch movie shorts anymore. Sometimes when I wanted to watch, I would check myself and not watch as it wastes time and increases attachments. I was concerned that if I watched again, I might have to again clean up vomit. I have not watched this kind of video now for a long time.
I truly thank that neighbor who vomited, because they allowed me to discover this strong attachment to watching movies, and be vigilant and wake up.
Breaking Through Comfort and Attending the Exercise Site
One day in December 2025, I suddenly thought of Master’s words describing an exercise site:
“My fashen sit in a circle, and above the exercise site is a shield on which there is a big Falun. A large fashen guards the site above the shield. This site is not an ordinary site, and neither is it a site for an ordinary qigong practice—it is a site for cultivation practice. Many of our people with supernormal abilities have seen that this Falun Dafa site is shielded by a red light so it is red all around.” (Lecture Three, Zhuan Falun)
So I thought to myself: “Yes, since the energy at the exercise site is so great and extraordinary, why don’t I practice at the exercise site? Since I want to do the exercises every day, instead of practicing at home, why don’t I practice outdoors? The energy at the exercise site is better, and I can also promote the Fa this way; after turning this into a habit, it will be even less likely that I would fall behind on exercising — truly one act with multiple benefits. After discussing this with my wife, I went to the exercise site the next day — a Friday. At the time, I was working on a sale. Unexpectedly, the following Monday after I went out for exercise, the contract for the sale was signed.
I knew that Master was encouraging me since I went out to do the exercises. Since that time, my wife and I would go out to do the exercises every day. We have persisted to this day. We would finish all five exercises early in the morning every day and feel quite fulfilled.
Experience as a Media Advertisement Salesperson
My job often involves calling customers I do not know, and I didn’t know how to schedule a person to person meeting to introduce NTD’s advertisements. I once called a company selling health supplements through an 0800 customer service number. After someone picked up, I asked for his last name. I had done homework before the call and knew that this company’s manager had the same last name. I then asked if he was the president which he confirmed. I said, “I am from NTD. We have six health programs for audiences who care about health. It is a great fit to advertise your health products.” He said, “I know your television and have watched it. You are welcome to come for a chat.” After visiting their management a few times, we successfully signed a contract to work together.
A practitioner thought it was amazing, as 0800 numbers are typically picked up by customer service representatives, but I was able to reach the owner directly. I knew that this was all arranged by Master.
As I built more sales experience, I found that I used the same rhetoric when I called different companies to schedule meetings. Sometimes I was able to get an appointment, and sometimes not. Some people were warm and friendly, while others were cold and disinterested. Even though I said the same words, sometimes I could successfully arrange a meeting, and sometimes not.
The same happened with in-person visits. I gave the same set of presentation slides, talking points, and script, and was sometimes successful and sometimes not. I understood that everything was prearranged. Whether a deal was made and whether I was able to get an appointment was probably not because of how good my techniques or words were, in my understanding it was because of a predestined relationship with these people and my own cultivation state.
I remembered Master’s teaching,
“Things have been arranged for such a long time and this is such a major event, so things are really well-ordered! If I told you that even every step you take as you walk, and that even how big your stride is, were arranged, you might not believe it. But even the number of times you would scream while being persecuted and how many blows you would be dealt were arranged by them. Of course, the presence or absence of strong righteous thoughts in a cultivator can change these things, but not by much.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2014 San Francisco Fa Conference” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. XIII).
After understanding this Fa, I gave up some attachments to gains and losses and some fear. I knew to just do my best. I cannot see the arranged result. Whether it succeeds or not may not be something I can decide, but I can decide to take serious and extensive actions. I also gained a deeper understanding of the Fa, “Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
Facing Customers’ Rejection
Selling advertisements for the media involves a large number of appointment requests and visits on a daily basis. Every day, I faced rejection from many customers. A large number of rejections inevitably led to feelings of negativity and low spirits. It resulted in not wanting to make more calls, fearing making calls, and fearing rejection.
Sometimes a case might seem hopeful, but the customer eventually declines. “Being rejected” sounds easy, but being rejected every day, and sometimes even having the feeling of being met by a cold shoulder, still felt uncomfortable. No one enjoys being rejected. But how should I look at this while facing a large number of continuous rejections?
I realized that being uncomfortable is also a form of karma elimination. Cultivators have a lot of karma to eliminate. When we do the exercises every day, we suffer pain and eliminate karma when our legs hurt and our arms are sore. We also eliminate karma during interpersonal conflicts. We are eliminating karma whenever we feel uncomfortable. So I think I am also eliminating karma when, after a customer rejects me, I endure the uncomfortable feeling while continuing to do what a salesperson should do.
For example, because of being in sales, I would encounter various products of customers. I once applied a patch that provided comfort to the eyes in order to experience the customer’s product. My eyes did feel comfortable after applying it for a few nights. However, what followed was a toothache, which hurt more and more, to the point where I had to go to a dental clinic and have the nerve removed from that tooth. I then stopped using the patch. I realized that karma is fixed and it is either eliminated from this place or another place. My eyes become comfortable, so my tooth started to feel uncomfortable. It would be uncomfortable either here or there. Karma wasn’t eliminated through the use of health products, it would have to be eliminated from a different place.
This experience made me realize that the karma elimination I undergo through doing sales and being rejected also helps me, a cultivator, reduce karma. Our karma accumulation is fixed, so if more is eliminated here, less will be eliminated there. Thinking from this perspective, it does not seem to be a terrible thing to be rejected.
Being a salesperson for the media is truly a fantastic deal. Participating in media work itself is validating the Fa. At the same time, because sales require developing new customers every day, I receive many rejections every day, so I can eliminate a lot of karma every day and gain a lot of virtue. I also continuously improve my xinxing in this process. This truly is an incredibly rare opportunity.
Memorizing the Fa Helps Me Improve Xinxing and Overcome Challenges
I realized that while facing difficulties, tests, or decision-making, if we can remember Master’s teaching, we will be able to pass the test, have energy, and have the power of the Fa.
So I thought, since I know what tests I frequently encounter, what attachments I haven’t given up, and what areas of xinxing still need to be improved, why don’t I memorize the related Fa? In this way, when or before I go through a test or when I need the power of the Fa to do something, isn’t it better to proactively remember or recite this passage of Fa?
For example, I encounter various kinds of challenges while validating the Fa and working in sales. Sometimes I would feel that this is too difficult and then become negative. I later thought that this was thinking from ordinary people’s perspective, and I should think about this issue based on the Fa. So whenever I feel that I’ve encountered a difficult situation, how should I understand it based on the Fa? So I memorized this passage.
“In the course of teaching the Fa and gong, many people have found the Fa very good, but very difficult to follow. Actually, I think it depends on the person as to whether it is difficult or not. For an everyday person who does not want to cultivate, he will find cultivation simply too difficult, inconceivable, or impossible. As an everyday person, he does not want to cultivate and will find it very difficult. Lao Zi said, “When a wise person hears the Tao, this person will practice it diligently. When an average person hears it, this person will practice it on and off. When a foolish person hears it, this person will laugh at it loudly. If this person doesn’t laugh at it loudly, it’s not the Tao.” To a genuine cultivator, I would say that it is very easy and not something too high to reach.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun).
Every time I encountered a challenge, I would recite this passage, then I would no longer find it challenging. It is not that challenging as long as we do not see it as challenging. I would recite it when I ride my motorcycle or walk. I would also recite it before sales visits. I have found it truly helpful, as it can remove the fear of challenges, attachment to gains and losses, feelings of disappointment, and negative thoughts.
My experience is that when I thoroughly memorize a certain passage of Fa, my understanding of the Fa in that aspect improves. That is also to say that my enlightenment quality in that aspect had improved, and my xinxing regarding that aspect also improved, thus it was easier to pass tests and tribulations in that aspect.
During this past year, in addition to reading Zhuan Falun on a daily basis, I started to memorize the Fa, which made me clearly feel xinxing improvements and cultivation breakthroughs. The mindset for memorizing the Fa is not one of rushing to solve this problem, but to better assimilate to the Fa. This is not a pursuit or looking outward, but a manifestation of enlightenment quality and steadfastness. It is a Dafa disciple’s act of having firm belief in Dafa without any doubt. It is also a display of determination to assimilate to the Fa.
Above is my cultivation experience from this past year to share with and encourage everybody. My level is limited. If there is room for improvement, please kindly point it out to me. Thank you, Master. Thank you, fellow practitioners.
