By an Australian Falun Dafa practitioner
“If only I could live in the country, then I wouldn’t have the problems that I have here in the cramped, busy city…
If only I didn’t need a car, I would catch the train to work and have more time to relax…
If only I had a job that I felt I could put my whole heart into, I would be much happier at work…
If only people really understood my problems, then I would find it easier to share my true feelings…
If only I could be determined to eat healthier and exercise more, I’d feel much better inside and outside.
If only…”
After learning Falun Dafa I realised that I have always searched externally to try and solve any problems that I encountered. They rarely were truly resolved and often led to blame, anger, regret, guilt, fear, resentment and even hatred.
Now, I feel so much lighter inside. Whenever I encounter a problem, I do my best to follow the teachings of Falun Dafa to look inside first before blaming others.
I realise that I had always been looking for peace outside of myself, but I have now found that no matter where I am or what situation I am in, true inner peace is always deep within my heart. Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.
