(Clearwisdom.net) Recently I met several practitioners and found a serious problem that they have in common: they study the Fa but do not do the exercises. Because of circumstances, some practitioners have difficulty doing the exercises everyday. If you are in a special situation or are really busy for a while, perhaps it's excusable. But when you finish whatever you need to do, you should make it up. If you have become accustomed to being in this state for a long time, however, that's not right.

Master very clearly said: “Falun Dafa is also a cultivation practice of mind and body, and it requires exercises.” “A complete cultivation practice of mind and body requires both cultivation and practice.” (Zhuan Falun) If one only reads the books but does not do the exercises, how can one's benti be transformed? If your everyday environment is interfering with your ability to do the exercises, why don't you follow what Master taught: “If you can commit your mind, no difficulties can stop you. I would say that there is not a problem.” (Zhuan Falun)

Fellow practitioners, we have waited millions of years for this time so that we can validate the Fa and return home with Master. Since you've entered Dafa, don't let the opportunity slip by so easily! I heard there was a 70-year-old male practitioner who, for a very long time, just read the books and didn't practice the exercises. His physical condition used to be very good, but last year, he suddenly experienced a health tribulation and passed away in just one month. This caused some confusion for local practitioners and also increased the obstacles for some sentient beings to be saved. What a great regret and loss!

I suggest that fellow practitioners who are clear on this issue help those practitioners improve from the Fa's perspective. Such a phenomenon that seriously deviates from the Fa should immediately be corrected.
