(Clearwisdom.net) I was enlightened after reading the article “Overcoming China’s Firewall after Spending One Night Transcribing the Fa” (http://www.clearwisdom.net/html/articles/2011/10/4/128517.html). I related to it because I also felt very sleepy when studying the Fa, and sometimes I even dozed off. So I thought, “Why don't I also transcribe the Fa? I should not be interfered with so seriously by the evil elements in other dimensions.” I transcribed “Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa.” A miracle came after this pure thought and simple deed. Since then, I have not felt sleepy since then while studying the Fa. In addition, the more I learned, the more I wanted to continue, and the more spirited I became.
In the referenced experience-sharing article there is an important sentence as follows, “Sleep a Little Less and Study the Fa a Little More,” which greatly illuminated my thinking. I usually studied the Fa in the evening; so I tried to sleep a little less. It turned out that I couldn’t stop studying the Fa, once I began. The evening was quiet, and it was a very good opportunity for studying the Fa. I was always eager to study the following lectures after reading through one. In this way, I could study three to four lectures at a time. I didn’t feel sleepy at all, although it was usually after 2:00 a.m. when I finished studying the Fa. This was really a great breakthrough for me. I am very grateful to the Minghui website. It offers such a wonderful experience-sharing platform and benefits each practitioner. I also want to thank fellow practitioners for sharing their experiences.
I enlightened from the experience, that by transcribing the Fa, I broke through the obstacle that was stopping me from studying the Fa, and I upgraded to a higher level. Those evil elements in other dimensions could no longer reach and affect me. Therefore, I became able to study the Fa with my heart and truly reached the state of studying the Fa and gaining the Fa.
Master taught us,
“And all of the human ideas, as well as the variety of sources from which those ideas stem, that are bound up in that human thinking will serve to interfere with the person. Whichever kind of life form your thinking aligns with, that life form will immediately have an effect on you.” (“Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa- Fa Teaching Given at the 2011 Washington DC Metro Area Fa Conference”)
It really is this way. When we feel sleepy while studying the Fa, it must be because of the interference from some kind of life form that our human thinking or attachment aligns with. We need to reject it and try our best to get rid of the attachment, so that it will no longer affect us. Once we revive our true selves and let the side that is assimilated with the Fa take effect, it will be extremely powerful, and nothing can interfere with us.
Reciting the Fa, transcribing the Fa, and studying the Fa in a group setting are all good ways to study the Fa. Everyone should study the Fa more. Time is very limited for us. Since the Fa-rectification makes phenomenal progress, one could easily fall behind if he or she doesn’t keep up in Fa-study. As an old saying goes, “A thousand sails pass by the side of a sunken ship; ten thousand flowers bloom before the stricken tree.” We cannot be the “sunken ship” or “stricken tree.” Instead, we should strengthen ourselves, fill ourselves with righteous thoughts, do well in studying the Fa and do all the things that a Dafa disciple must do.
