(Minghui.org) Four Falun Dafa practitioners, including myself, formed a Fa study group a few days before the COVID-19 outbreak. We felt it was important to hold group study because each of us was not in a righteous state to some extent. This state had been going on for years.
Despite each of us having cultivated Dafa for different lengths of time, we had common goals, to study the Fa earnestly, share our understandings, eliminate our human notions, and improve ourselves.
We denied the old forces’ arrangements, in the hope that we would soon walk out of the tribulation. However, the lockdown came to our residential area shortly after starting the Fa study group.
Four of us had been locked into the same area. Perhaps, it was an arrangement.
We therefore put together a Fa study group, and got together for about two months. We read two to three lectures of Zhuan Falun and studied Master’s new articles every day.
Beside the four set times to send forth righteous thoughts globally, we sent righteous thoughts on the hour from seven p.m. to nine p.m., addressing our local situation.
We sometimes sent righteous thoughts towards fellow practitioners who had seriously deviated from Dafa. In the morning, we did the exercises as a group and corrected each other’s movements.
We posted Dafa flyers at our residential area when we could, and reminded ourselves to save sentient beings. We also spent quite a bit of time correcting words in old versions of 30 Dafa books.
During that time we eliminated many human attachments, such as fear of suffering, impatience, contempt of fellow practitioners, resentment, seeking fame, and so on.
We had considerable time to share our experiences, and felt we had improved rather quickly.
One practitioner had suffered from a sleep disorder since 1999. Every relapse lasted about 18 months and he took medication to help sleep.
When we gathered for group Fa study, he had been in his fourth relapse for about six months and relied on medicine for sleeping.
However, he left the medicine behind when he joined our Fa study. One night I heard him snoring when I walked by his room.
I knew he was on the right path and Master was there to save him. The practitioners left after the lockdown was lifted.
