(Clearwisdom.net) Some time ago, I ran into a series of tribulations. I also had conflicts with fellow practitioners. I knew these were good things for a cultivator, and I tried my best to look inward. At the same time, I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate any evil interference. However, I was not able to resolve the fundamental issues for a long time.

When Teacher's lecture "Fa Teaching at the 2008 New York Conference" was published, I was so happy. I felt as if I had found a treasure. I read it over and over looking for ways to solve my problems. But I had such strong attachments. Not only did I not resolve my issues, I even believed that I was right and others were wrong. I used Teacher's words about others to justify myself.

One day, I was talking to a fellow practitioner. He said, "Why don't you calm down and memorize Teacher's new article." When I was able to calm myself and start memorizing the Fa, I was able to let go of myself, and I discovered many of my attachments. With every paragraph I memorized, I felt that an attachment was eliminated. When I finished memorizing the entire article, I felt that all my attachments were gone. My biggest attachments were insisting on being right and doing things my way. I didn't consider if others could accept my view or not--I didn't cultivate myself. When my heart regained calmness, my words were also peaceful, and the conflicts I had been experiencing disappeared. At the same time, I saw the shortcomings of fellow practitioners. If we could all calm down, memorize the Fa, and discover our fundamental attachments, we would be able to improve together, better validate the Fa, and save sentient beings.

From this incident, I realized that memorizing the Fa is the best method of studying the Fa. I had wanted to memorize the Fa before 1999, but I stopped after just one chapter. In the past two years, I was finally able to break through and start memorizing the Fa.
