(Minghui.org) A few years ago, I rented a room. I knew a few elderly fellow practitioners, and we set up a Fa study group. They were all in their 60s and 70s. Some of them had only gotten elementary school educations, while others were not educated at all and couldn't even write their own names.

When we studied the Fa together, I had difficulty understanding some of their strong accents. I had to raise my voice to read because two had poor hearing. I knew it was miraculous that they were able to even read the Fa, and that it was because the Fa opened their wisdom; otherwise, they could not have been able to study the Fa at all.

We had to read slowly because they could not read fast. In the beginning, I decided to help them study the Fa well. I would correct them when they mispronounced the words. In time, however, I lost my patience. Especially when I was busy, I got very impatient. I felt very ill at ease when they mispronounced words. Soon I would begin to feel sleepy and wanted to leave.

One day, I had to buy supplies to make truth clarification materials. I could have gone in the afternoon, but I decided to go to another practitioner's home and study the Fa with other young practitioners since they read faster. Afterward I would go buy supplies.

I should have been reading the Fa with the elderly practitioners, but I left home with a very selfish heart. However, when I got there, the practitioner that I intended to visit was not at home. In the end, everything got delayed and it was very late when I finally returned home.

I felt guilty, but I still occasionally thought about leaving the elderly practitioners. One day, I again had the strong urge to avoid our Fa study. As soon as I had this thought, the word “forbearance” came to mind. I realized that Master was giving me a hint. Tears sprang to my eyes and I felt ashamed.

Seven years have now passed. Many times our Fa study group nearly ended. We got through each test with Master's blessings and help. All the practitioners in our group have improved a lot. We participated in lots of projects such as printing materials, writing truth clarification letters, distributing materials, rescuing fellow practitioners, and exposing the persecution.

As time passed, I changed my thought that I was “helping” these practitioners. I realized it was arranged for me to cultivate with them, so that we could save people together.

I also changed my way of studying the Fa. I used to read the Fa very fast and did not really focus on what I was reading. I also learned how to consider others first. I downloaded the MP3 of the Minghui sharing for some of these practitioners because they could not read.

As I improved, I felt surrounded by positive energy, and I was able to understand many principles Master taught as I studied the Fa.

Thank you, Master, for arranging this environment for us.
