Eliminating Attachments
Having attachments refers to the relentless, zealous pursuit of a particular object or goal by those practitioners who are unable to liberate themselves or too stubborn to heed any advice. Some people pursue supernormal abilities in this world, and this will certainly impact their cultivating to high levels. The stronger the feelings, the more difficult they are to abandon. Their minds will become ever more unbalanced and unstable. Later on these people will feel that they have gained nothing,...
Characteristics of Falun Gong Cultivation
People who practice Falun Gong are able to not only rapidly develop their gong potency and supernormal abilities, but also to procure a Falun through cultivation. The Falun can form in a short period of time, and once formed it is quite powerful. It can protect practitioners from going awry as well as from interference by people with inferior xinxing. The principles of Falun Gong are completely different from those of conventional cultivation methods. This is because after a Falun forms, it...
Chapter III Cultivation of Xinxing
All cultivators of Falun Gong must make cultivation of xinxing their top priority and regard xinxing as the key to developing gong. This is the principle for cultivating at high levels.

Cultivators must be able to put forth great effort, improve their enlightenment quality, bear hardships upon hardships, endure...
Demonic Interference
Demonic interference refers to the manifestations or visions that appear during the cultivation process and that interfere with a person's practice.

It's impossible that one has not committed wrongdoing in one's lifetime, just as one's ancestors must have in their lives this is...

Moreover, the harder it is to abandon, the easier it is for jealousy to grow stronger. The negative effects of...

MindIntent
Falun Gong cultivation involves no use of mind-intent. A person's mind-intent doesn't accomplish anything by itself, though it can send out commands. What is really at work are supernormal abilities, which have the capacity of an intelligent being to think and can receive commands from the brain's signals. Yet many people, particularly those in qigong circles, have many different theories about it. They think that mind-intent can accomplish many things. Some talk about using mind-intent to...

Loss and Gain
Both qigong and religious circles talk about loss and gain. Some people take loss to mean being charitable, doing some good deeds, or giving a hand to people in need, and gain to mean gaining gong. Even monks in temples also say that one should be charitable. This understanding narrows the meaning of loss. The loss we talk about is much broader it's something of a larger scale. The things we require you to lose are the attachments of everyday people and the mindset that doesn't let go of those...
