Benefits of Memorizing the Fa Together With Fellow Practitioners

(Minghui.org) I began cultivating in Falun Dafa in 2018, and joined a small group Fa study group. Our group began memorizing the Fa after fellow practitioners highly recommended it in early 2023.

Some human thoughts appeared in my mind before I started memorizing the Fa. I thought that I was old, and thus my memory was not good. I usually missed ordinary issues, so I worried, and believed that it would be rather difficult to memorize the Fa. However, with fellow practitioners’ encouragement, I began memorizing the Fa.

When I first started memorizing Master’s Lunyu, once I finished memorizing a paragraph, I almost immediately forgot it, and it took me almost a month to be able to recite Lunyu from memory. In our group Fa memorizing, we memorized two paragraphs each time. However, I could usually only recite the paragraph with hints from fellow practitioners.

We have already been memorizing the Fa for more than a year. I recently discovered that I have gone through some mental and physical changes. The other practitioners also said that I had improved from the original stumbling state, to being able to recite a paragraph without errors after reading it three times.

First Insight: Eliminating Thought Karma

When I started memorizing the Fa, I was very slow and inaccurate. I often added or missed words, and I felt that my memory was slightly better in the morning, while during other times of the day my mind was in an unclear state. I was thus not able to memorize the Fa well. Even if I read the paragraph many times, I still needed hints from other practitioners before I could completely recite it.

However, I persisted in memorizing the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the factors that were stopping me from memorizing. After memorizing the Fa for a period of time, I discovered that I was getting faster and faster in memorizing. I also no longer needed to pick the timing of the day or the location to memorize the Fa. My mind became clear, and I am now able to memorize a paragraph without mistakes after reading it three times. I am even able to memorize more than six paragraphs at one go.

After memorizing the Fa, I no longer forgot so many things in my daily life. It has also strengthened my memory.

Second Insight: Deeper Understanding of the Fa

While I was reading the Fa previously, my mind would think about other things, and I could not concentrate on memorizing the Fa. I did not have a clear understanding of the Fa. However, things are different now when I am memorizing the Fa. I have to remember every word and it deepens my understanding. Therefore, I am now able to have a deeper understanding of the Fa, and when I meet with problems in my cultivation I am immediately able to recall what Master said. Thus I know how to resolve the problems based on the Fa.

Third Insight: My Heart Became Calm

In the past, I used to get flustered when I faced problems, and I was therefore unable to memorize the Fa. I found it to be difficult to get the Fa into my head, and would often lose concentration and eventually give up. I was unable persist in memorizing the Fa.

Now, whenever I meet with problems that make me feel anxious and uneasy, I force myself to recite the Fa, and my heart calms down. When I then look at the problems again, I feel that they are no longer an issue, and I am naturally able to overcome them.

I really did not expect to gain so much benefit from memorizing the Fa. I will continue doing so until I am able to memorize the entire book Zhuan Falun. By then, I will gain more rewards, as the Fa is boundless.

Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment! Thank you, fellow practitioners, for your encouragement!
