(Minghui.org) When I studied the Fa today, I did not concentrate on what I was reading. I realized that I was the only one online for group Fa study, and I thought since no one else was there, I could take a rest, and no one would find out. However, a new practitioner came online, so we read together.
Master said:
“Somebody who does a different practice once said to me, "Teacher, when I’m practicing, my family members just look like strangers to me." And somebody else told me, "I don’t need to get up early or stay up late to practice like other people do. I just go home and plop down on the couch, and then my self goes out to practice. I just lie there and watch him practice." I think that’s really sad, but then again, well, it’s not so sad!”(Zhuan Falun)
After I read Master's Fa, I asked myself if I was truly cultivating? If the new practitioner had not joined me, would I have studied the Fa and made phone calls to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa? My answer was: No, because there was no point to stay online by myself.
Then, I asked myself, “If I was the only practitioner left in the world, would I insist on reading the Fa and save people every day?” I was not sure.
I felt bad because if my cultivation depended on outside factors and not myself, how could I be a true practitioner?
Then I realized how much the group Fa study meant to me. Because of the group members I could do more than if I were by myself.
I looked within and found my attachments, some of which were hidden deeply. I told myself that I had to cultivate and improve step by step.
I really appreciate my group, because it keeps me going forward and helps me cultivate according to the Fa.
Although my life seems no different from that of ordinary people, I realize that there is a difference between a practitioner and a non-practitioner. Both seem to be busy in their everyday life, yet a practitioner has the heart to help Master save sentient beings, while the ordinary person is busy with everyday happenings.
Not only have I helped many people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), but I have also clarified the truth about Dafa and established karmic relationships with them.
I was happy because I found my attachment to selfishness, and because I really hope that I can be a true practitioner.
