With the Fa-rectification constantly pushing forward, doing the three things that Master requires us to is the unshakable responsibility of the Falun Dafa disciples of the Fa-rectification period. Currently we have seriously studied Master's "Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference," and we feel that our responsibility is more serious. In order to complete our historical task of saving the sentient beings, we first need to study the Fa well.
Master said,
"That is because the Fa is the foundation; it is what's fundamental for Dafa disciples; it is what ensures everything; and it is the avenue by which a human being journeys toward godhood." "Don't just go through the motions when you study the Fa. You should study with a concentrated mind, and you must really be studying." ("To the Australia Fa Conference")
Currently we have established Fa-study groups in almost all regions. We practitioners can study the Fa together, and this is the cultivation environment that Master has left to us. In Fa study, we need to concentrate and study with our whole mind. We also need to help each other and correct each other so that we can improve as a whole body. We have found some problems. We study the Fa together, but each person has a different educational background and has cultivated for different periods of time. Each person also has a different understanding of the Fa. Some read fluently and never add or omit words; some read slowly; some cannot read fluently; and some add or omit words sometimes. This has created problems in Fa-study. The practitioners who read well are sometimes impatient toward the practitioners who cannot read well. They show impatience and annoyance, and the practitioners who cannot read well feel nervous. They show fear, face-saving, and vanity. After a while, barriers form among practitioners, and the evil takes advantage of this as well. Some practitioners feel depressed and begin to slack off, criticizing themselves.
Master said, "The next person's things are your things, and your things are his things." ("Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference" in 2002) We are all disciples in the same cultivation system. At this last moment we must realize what our important duty is. We practitioners must help, understand, tolerate, and correct each other so that we can improve as a whole body. Actually, this is an opportunity to eliminate attachments and improve xinxing for the practitioners who read both fast and slowly. Both veteran practitioners and practitioners who read well must calm down and help new practitioners or practitioners who cannot read well. Study the Fa well, look inside, and cultivate to be a righteous enlightened being of selflessness and altruism. Practitioners who cannot read well must be humble and possess the attitude of asking. Forget about nervousness, and study the Fa more. If you cannot read well the first time, read it for the second and third time. You will read well eventually.
Let us study the Fa well and do the three things well, cultivate diligently together, and fulfill our vow from prehistory, following Master to consummation.
