(Minghui.org) For a long time, the format of our group Fa-study consisted of practitioners taking turns reading a paragraph from Zhuan Falun and then sharing our experiences.
We read many articles on the Minghui website about practitioners memorizing the Fa, and we felt that we should be able to do that as well.
Inspired, we decided to change the format of our group study and memorize the Fa together. We started by memorizing five to six pages each week. Everyone memorized at home ahead of time, so we could recite the pages from memory at group study. While one person recited, others read the book to point out any mistakes.
It was a lot of pressure for everyone to remember so many pages a week. Several practitioners felt so anxious that they suffered from insomnia. One practitioner even stopped coming to group study for a while due to the stress.
Everyone in our group study began to practice Dafa before July 20, 1999, and established a good foundation. We understood the importance of studying the Fa well in order to complete our historic mission to assist Teacher in Fa-rectification.
After diligently persevering for a few months, we began to achieve good results. Most of us are now able to recite the Fa from memory without making any mistakes.
We were able to deepen our understanding of the Fa, upgrade our mind-nature, and improve our cultivation. When encountering problems, we looked within based on the Fa. We now clarify the truth more actively and achieve better results.
We have received many benefits from memorizing the Fa as a group. Due to the set schedule, we are able to remind and help each other. We were able to eliminate the attachment of laziness and steadily progress together.
In addition to Zhuan Falun, we have begun memorizing a few poems in Hong Yin every week. After reciting Zhuan Falun individually, we will recite Hong Yin together as a group.
We feel blessed and encouraged when studying Teacher's Fa.
