Practitioners' Insights and Experiences
Because I wallowed in human sentiment, with the tears in my eyes I eventually compromised myself and wrote a "Guarantee Statement" [A statement to declare that he or she is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.]. After returning home, I felt I unworthy of being a Dafa practitioner and started to be deliberately isolate myself. Fellow practitioners were very anxious upon seeing my situation, so they tried every method to get close to me. I burst into tears, experiencing even more of Teacher's great mercy. Thereupon, I decided to return to cultivating. I am determined to be diligent now, make up for the damage I have caused, and assist Teacher in his journey in this world. At the same time, I have also reconsidered my past, and have gradually enlightened to the main reason I failed the test. It was because of my strong attachment to human sentimentality. My family environment has also gradually been rectified through studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth. I realized that not being attached to temporary sentimentality and fundamentally being considerate of family members is to truly care for and to cherish them. These are the responsibilities of the Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples, which we can't shirk, and the opportunities given by Teacher for us to establish our mighty virtue.
