(Minghui.org) A few days ago when our small Fa study group was exercising together, I discovered that a lot of the practitioners' exercise movements were not accurate. They did the exercises in the easiest way, the hand movements were not correct, and they didn't stretch far enough. This reminds me of what Master mentioned in Zhuan Falun,
“The five sets of exercises will be taught to you all at once, and you will learn them all. In the time to come, you will be able to reach a very high level—one which is so high that it is beyond your imagination. As long as you practice cultivation, it will not be a problem for you to achieve the Right Fruit in cultivation.”
If our exercise movements are not accurate, then it means that we still haven't learned them, and have not met the standard of Master's requirement for the exercises. At the same time, it is also disrespectful toward Master and the Fa, as we have not genuinely placed importance on the exercises.
In Zhuan Falun, Master has mentioned,
“On the one hand, the exercises are used to strengthen supernormal abilities. What is 'strengthening?' It is the reinforcement of your supernormal abilities by your powerful gong potency, thus making them progressively stronger. On the other hand, many living beings need to be developed in your body. In high-level cultivation practice, the Tao School requires the birth of the Immortal Infant (yuanying), while the Buddha School requires the Vajra’s indestructible body. Furthermore, many supernatural abilities must be developed. These things need to be developed through the physical exercises, and they are what our exercises cultivate. A complete cultivation practice of mind and body requires both cultivation and practice.”
Doing the exercises accurately is an important issue. Some people do both the standing and sitting exercises everyday, but their movements are not accurate. How can your supernormal abilities and mechanisms be strengthened by the gong? According to my own personal experience, if one's exercise movements are accurate, then the energy is extremely strong. So, we really ought to take each and every exercise movement seriously. We should move according to the exercise music, and listen carefully to Master's formula, as well as all of the instructions.
I didn't have time to write down my thoughts before, but with the encouragement from fellow practitioners and with Master's hints, I decided to do so. In China, all of the practitioners do the exercises at home. It is very likely that some people have slacked off because of that. This is the final leg of the Fa-rectification, and we really should pay high attention to this issue.
Some of us practitioners don't feel that our energy is strong when we exercise or send forth righteous thoughts. Some practitioners even think about whether their righteous thoughts have any effect. Actually, we have all cultivated for so many years, and each person has extremely powerful energy. I think that those practitioners with such a thought are probably those who don't have correct exercise movements, so their energy has not reached its full potential.
Additionally, our hand positions while we send forth righteous thoughts should also be accurate. Recently, I specifically made sure of the correct hand position when sending forth righteous thoughts. The emitted gong was truly extremely powerful. Otherwise, when the palm falls slightly or when the two palms come together when doing the great lotus flower hand position, from my level of understanding, the gong will immediately weaken. When I lowered my palm, it was as if I wasn't sending forth righteous thoughts.
Recently, practitioners in our small Fa study group have been correcting their exercise movements so that their movements are accurate, thereby experiencing the extraordinarily powerful energy that comes with performing the correct movements. So I think that if we can all, as a one body of Dafa disciples, follow what Master has said, “The five sets of exercises will be taught to you all at once, and you will learn them all.” (Zhuan Falun) Then when we exercise, the energy will be extremely powerful. Then, with us Dafa disciples gathering together as one body, the thorough dissolving of the evil will be around the corner, spelling the end of them.
In our hearts we all are appreciative of Master's merciful and arduous salvation. And we deeply understand that we all must fulfill our prehistoric vows. Accordingly, each and every aspect of our cultivation should be improved. Shouldn't we also correct our exercise movements? Let us do our best so that Master will not be so worried for us.
The above is what I have enlightened to at my own level. Please point out anything inadequate with compassion.
