One day, through an experience-sharing gathering, I became very impressed by the performance of a few practitioners. This is what I have noted -
A lady practitioner, now in her forties, obtained the Fa in the early days. When the government started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, she could not take the pressure and gave up her practice. Every genuine practitioner knows that obtaining Dafa is an opportunity of a hundred lifetimes. This lady, who was forced to give up her practice, had suffered greatly for the past four years due to her work. Her spiritual and physical conditions were going downhill. Finally, in March 2003, after much consideration and, with a snap decision, she decided to resume Dafa practice again. Her first thought was to make up for all that she'd missed by studying the Fa diligently, and to let more people know the truth. As she had lost touch with Dafa over the four years, she found herself inadequate when explaining it to people. Hence, she decided to memorize the whole book Zhuan Falun. Having made up her mind, she started to read and memorize, page by page, until she could recite the whole book. Whenever she had spare time during the day, she would read Teacher's other works as well.
Following her studies, her mind became clearer. There were 60 apartment buildings around where she lived, and in just a few days, single-handedly, she managed to distribute truth-clarifying materials to every unit in the 60 buildings, put up a lot of posters, and introduce Dafa to all her friends and relatives nearby. Having noticed her changes and after hearing her experiences, other practitioners were inspired to incorporate Fa recitation into their Fa study as well.
At present, this practitioner has managed to recite from memory the whole book three times. She is now going over it the fourth time. Not only did she have strict discipline for herself, but her example has also motivated other practitioners to step up their Fa study, Fa recitation, and truth clarification.
