(Clearwisdom.net) Studying the Fa well ensures doing the three things well. In every lecture Master has repeatedly told us to study the Fa, study the Fa more and study the Fa well. I realize that without studying the Fa well, we can't do everything well in our cultivation as we will lose direction while facing tribulations. Since Master has left us the cultivation environment in the form of group study and exercise, as disciples we should create and harmonize this environment.
Currently, many places have set up Fa-study groups. How can we do well according to Master's requirements? First, we need to make a breakthrough and get rid of human notions. Practitioners cannot always be swayed by the old forces. When I had the wish of setting up a Fa-study group, Master helped me by arranging everything.
I remember one day two years ago, an assistant from before the persecution began invited me and another practitioner to his home to study the Fa. I felt extremely happy as that was exactly what I was seeking. I love the environment of group study and exercise. It makes one feel like one has returned to the pure land of Dafa cultivation, very sacred and solemn. After several group Fa studies, I talked with my fellow practitioner A regarding safety, and proposed that we form a Fa-study group in my home and one in his home.
After we reached a consensus, we faced the test of obtaining support and understanding from our families. At the time of the rampant evil, we both had our homes illegally ransacked, and were both detained and taken to brainwashing centers. Our families were intimidated and suffered a lot of tribulations. When I spoke to my husband about forming a Fa-study group at home, he kept shaking his head and would not agree to it. He feared being discovered by the police. I told my husband that it wouldn't happen and that practitioners are taken care of by Master. I said, “The evil cannot touch us and it is different now because very few evil elements are left. Moreover, practitioners all pay attention to their words and deeds and are different from everyday people. Rest assured that we won't disturb anyone when we enter and leave the house.” My first discussion with my husband yielded no result. So I asked Master: “Master, please help me. I really would like to attend group Fa-study.” That was very effective as my true thoughts surfaced. In fact, Master had arranged it for us long ago, we just had to have the wish. That afternoon, my husband went out. He said to me, “You are on your own, do whatever you want.” I thought, isn't this an opportunity arranged by Master? I immediately blurted out, “I want group Fa-study. Is it OK?” He didn't reply right away. When my husband returned in the evening, he saw the table filled with nice food as usual. As he was eating, he asked me which practitioners I had invited over for Fa-study. I told him those practitioners that he was familiar with and he went along. I thanked him for his support and understanding. I told him that he would have good fortune as what he did was an extremely good thing. Tears came out before I finished my words... In the evening, when I was burning incense for Master, I knelt before Master's image and thanked our great compassionate Master from my heart. It may not be difficult for other practitioners to create an environment for group Fa-study, but for me it was a process of complete change.
Our Fa-study group has been very stable since its inception two years ago. Fellow practitioners all cherish it very much. Practitioner B said, “The group Fa-study is really nice. Whether we have words that we don't know or questions, whatever difficulties can be resolved from discussions among us.” We learn and encourage each other in Fa-study and cultivation. Everyone is happy. Among the practitioners in our group, some do very well in distributing materials and clarifying the truth, some don't hesitate in buying materials using their savings and some quietly help practitioners who are being persecuted. In short, we all improved quickly through group Fa-study. Our predestined relationship in Dafa connected us together. No one can interfere because we are one body and Master is always looking after us.
Not only do we need to do the three things, we should pay close attention and do them well. Through group Fa-study, we collectively stepped out to clarify the truth face-to-face and help people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. We work well together, some start the conversation, some add to their points and some send forth righteous thoughts. Our truth clarification efforts have very positive effects. In most cases people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. After discussion, we reached a consensus. We decided to form groups of two or three people to clarify the truth face-to-face. We are all very capable and feel happy about clarifying the truth. On a typical day we can help dozens of people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. We have been very diligent recently: whether it's rainy or windy, the cold winter or hot summer, we keep clarifying the truth and helping people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. During this precious time, we will strive to do the three things well. Please rest assured, Master!
The above is my personal cultivation experience. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
