(Minghui.org) Master frequently reminded practitioners in his teachings to study the Fa and study it well. Thus, we ensure our cultivation goes well. The following is my understanding of the importance of Fa study.
My husband and I study the Fa in the mornings and leave home to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution in the afternoons every day, even on important holidays. During the day we study and memorize the Fa, do the exercises, tell people about Dafa, and send righteous thoughts. Thus, we lead a smooth and fulfilling life.
When I told people why the persecution of Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) was wrong, and that they should quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations to stay safe, people’s reactions often moved me.
I chatted with a woman and asked if she had heard about quitting the CCP. She had never heard of it and told me that she was a member of the CCP and its youth organizations. I explained to her that she’s vowed to dedicate her life to the CCP when she joined it. When Heaven eliminates the CCP, she would be in danger as she was part of it. She agreed with what I said and quit the CCP and its youth organizations. I reminded her to remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good” before we parted. She said that she will, and wished me health and longevity.
I started a talk with a man who was loading New Year’s goods on his bicycle. After I clarified the truth to him, he accepted what I said and quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He then told me, “It’s been really hard for you Falun Gong practitioners.” I almost cried when I heard him, knowing that he was saved.
A young man quit the Young Pioneers after talking to me. He said, “I admire you Falun Gong practitioners. You continue to clarify the truth after all these years.” I told him that good fortune awaits him.
An elderly woman hugged and thanked me after I told her why the persecution was wrong and helped her quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
An elementary school student quit the Young Pioneers after talking to me. He grabbed my hand and said, “Thank you, grandma!”
I had something growing in my right ear last year. It didn’t hurt but continued to grow, to the point that it got so big that I couldn’t even clean my ear. I asked Master to help me and sent righteous thoughts. I apologized to the thing that grew in my ear and wished that we could resolve the issue in a compassionate way. “I practice Falun Dafa and when I reach consummation, you can live in my universe. This is a rare opportunity and you are fortunate.”
I looked within for my shortcomings after sending righteous thoughts, and found that I had resentment, jealousy, fear, and liked to watch television with the family. About three weeks later, something fell out of my ear when I sent forth righteous thoughts. I shouted in joy, “Thank you, Master!” What came out of my ear appeared black, with two sharp edges, and was the size of a small marble.
I enjoy the cultivation process. When I enlighten to a principle while I study or memorize the Fa, my body becomes still, and it feels like I am infused with the Fa. The exercise movements that I couldn’t get right automatically corrected themselves. The udumbara flower that grew on the grape that I used to show my respect to Master is still there, after seven years. I knew it was Master encouraging me to continue to progress diligently.
Master said,
“A Dafa disciple… what’s a Dafa disciple? He’s a being created by the most magnificent Fa, (enthusiastic applause) and he’s rock-solid and as indestructible as diamond.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2003 Washington, D.C. Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume IV)
I will not disappoint Master and will be worthy of the title of Falun Dafa disciple.
