(Clearwisdom.net) Master has told us many times to study the Fa well. This is critical in helping us do the three things well. Over the past several years, I have calmed down when studying the Fa every day, and the result has been good. I normally sit in the double-lotus position when studying the Fa. I do this out of respect toward Master and the Fa. Another reason is that doing so during Fa-study prevents me from falling asleep or becoming distracted.
Master said,
“If we look at the cultivation state of Dafa disciples as a whole, we find evidence from the path walked thus far that tells just how important Fa-study is. A human being is like a container. If he is filled with Fa, he will--this being the Fa of the cosmos--naturally have righteous thoughts and play a positive role. That's for sure.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2009 Greater New York International Fa Conference”)
I found that when we spend a large amount of time on Fa-study and wholeheartedly do the three things well, overcoming tribulations becomes easier. Some of the illness tribulations and tests related to various deeply-rooted attachments are difficult to pass if we don't have a solid foundation of Fa study.
One morning, I found myself with the symptoms of a stroke, and couldn't move one side of my body. Had this happened in the past, I would have probably gone to a hospital. However, I am now clear-minded since I know that Master would not make such an arrangement during my Fa-rectification period cultivation.
Master said,
“If you cannot relinquish the attachment or concern for illness, we cannot do anything and will be unable to help you.” (Zhuan Falun)
I therefore did not acknowledge the interference and was sure that I would able to stand up. With that thought, I got out of bed. However, my limbs still could not move freely and my chest did not feel comfortable.
I had planned to deliver truth-clarification materials to other practitioners that day, so I proceeded with that task. Everything went well during my trip, but upon returning home, the symptoms still existed. I then did some laundry—usually I do my laundry in a washing machine, but this time I decided to wash the clothes with my hands to oppose the interference. During that week, I was not bothered at all by the symptoms, and had even done more of the three things than any other week. By the end of the week, the symptoms had completely disappeared.
As long as our xinxing meets the standard, Master will help us with anything we do to validate the Fa. Recently, the communist regime in my area used cartoons to defame Dafa. One day, I saw some posters of that kind on the street and decided to clean them up. Although pedestrians were walking by, I was able to remove all of the defamatory posters that evening. I knew that Master was helping me throughout the process.
One day, I was scheduled to meet a practitioner who had just been released from unlawful detention. I thought in my mind, “If this meeting will help us to validate the Fa, it will go well; otherwise, we will not be able to meet each other.” We failed to meet on four occasions. When I met the practitioner on the fifth try, she told me that there had been a CCP agent following her on the bus on previous occasions. Master is constantly helping us.
Through Fa-study, I have realized that sending forth righteous thoughts is very important. First, we have to clean up ourselves and then we must eliminate all of the evil elements that persecute Dafa and Dafa practitioners. Sending forth righteous thoughts is very powerful and effective. If we don't do it well, it not only interferes with ourselves, but also affects other practitioners. In the past few years, I have sent forth righteous thoughts once every hour. In addition, whenever I do things to validate the Fa—either clarifying the truth or distributing truth-clarifying materials—I always send forth righteous thoughts. Things have gone well, without any interference, during these years.
