(Clearwisdom.net) This morning I had a dream. I was sitting in a class taking an exam written in English. It looked like I had to write a paragraph based on a set of pictures. The exam featured many sets of pictures.
I saw a clock, which looked complicated with many gears and a fine graph. There were also many fine things made for travel, which seemed to be things laid out in preparation for a trip.
I looked at my exam from front to back and did not understand the question. Other people had started, but I was still flipping through the sheets. A teacher named Mr. Li was standing not far from where I sat. He looked at me for a while and asked a student near me, "How many students are in this class?" "About two hundred," the student replied. "Why do only a few students turn in their homework on time?" the teacher asked. The student said that some talented students arrived at 10:00 a.m. daily, which was past the time the homework was due. When I heard this, I felt guilty. This was an exam covering all the topics the daily homework had covered. If I had done my homework well, I would not have had any difficulties with the exam.
The alarm then went off in time for sending forth righteous thoughts. I was all sweaty from the dream.
I realize now how, for years, I have attempted to write up my cultivation experience to share with other practitioners. I thought sharing my experiences might help them, regardless of whether it is a positive or negative experience. But at each attempt, I did not know where to start. Consequently I've only had one article published on the Minghui website (Clearwisdom.net in English). I became lazy and continued delaying until I saw the notice regarding the upcoming third Online Experience Sharing Conference. I still thought that many practitioners might have better cultivation experiences than me. I expected other practitioners might produce many good experience-sharing articles, but not me.
I recall during the second Online Falun Dafa Experience Sharing how much I liked to read the articles and how much I admired them. When I read them, I laughed, sometimes cried, and was excited. Reading those articles, I felt that I lagged behind those practitioners who had stronger righteous thoughts. I improved myself after reading those experience-sharing articles. I realized the importance of having an article sharing section. I think it is part of Fa validation.
After I woke-up all sweaty from the dream this morning, it occurred to me that no matter how one practices Dafa, as long as one is Master’s disciple, one needs to complete his/her homework and turn it in. The homework, for me, represents sharing my experiences. Every practitioner should write them up as part of Fa-validation. Each person's cultivation path is unique, and each one of us will have different experiences. Nobody else can repeat your Fa practice experience. This is why I wrote about my dream and my thoughts.
I am Master’s student. I need to complete and turn in my homework. My fellow practitioners, have you done your homework? If you have not, please hurry up.
