(Minghui.org) My family lives in Beijing, and we all practice Falun Dafa. After I first obtained the Fa in 2015, I went to a practitioner couple’s home. They began practicing before 1999 and were very diligent. Many practitioners were suing former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) head Jiang Zemin at that time. I didn’t study the Fa very deeply, but I knew that Dafa is good and that Jiang was persecuting good people. They encouraged me to sue him. I said, “Jiang is so bad. I agree, and I want to sue him, too.” I later realized that because of their encouragement, as a new practitioner, I was fortunate to participate in suing Jiang, which has great historical significance.
When Minghui.org later asked practitioners to submit cultivation experience sharing articles for World Falun Dafa Day, this couple encouraged me to write about mine. I said, “I only attended elementary school and don’t have much education. I can’t write well.” They encouraged me, saying, “Master will help you. Just write down your cultivation experiences and insights. We’ll help you revise it.” Just like that, with Master’s strengthening, I wrote my first cultivation experience sharing article. After I finished, they helped me revise it and sent it to Minghui.org. My article was published by Minghui.org, which gave me, a new practitioner, great encouragement.
I live at my daughter’s home. Since we all practice Dafa, we established a family Fa-study group. We study the Fa every night, and we practice the exercises every morning. It’s great to do the exercises in the morning—it’s very quiet and there are no disturbances. When practitioners do the exercises together, the energy field is powerful and can eliminate bad things.
This year, veteran practitioners encouraged other practitioners to establish as many Fa-study groups as possible, so that more practitioners can have a group Fa-study environment and improve together. Practitioners in the city also came to our home to study the Fa with us.
Our group reads the Fa together once a week, and we read one lecture of Zhuan Falun. We talk about our cultivation experiences and insights, look for our cultivation gaps, and learn from each other. We agreed that everyone should study one book of Master’s other lectures at home every week, and discuss our understandings with the group the next time we meet.
By insisting on regular group Fa study and cultivation experience sharing, we all felt we improved quickly. I felt the environment was sacred every time we studied the Fa together.
When it was time for Fa study one day, the other practitioners were about to arrive, but my legs hurt so much that I shook. I also felt cold. My daughter covered me with a few blankets. I thought, “What should I do? It’s time to study the Fa. Why am I like this?” The other practitioners began arriving, and I felt even more anxious. I silently said, “Master, I want to study the Fa with everyone, and no one can interfere with me.”
The other practitioners sent righteous thoughts and recited Lunyu in the living room. Even though I was in so much pain, I joined them. The pain in my legs miraculously eased. I quickly took off the blanket, put on a thick coat, and began reading the Fa with them. My daughter was amazed to see me joining them, and secretly gave me a thumbs up. I later thought: the good environment of the Fa-study group helped me break through the tribulation.
The practitioners in our area also held a small Fa conference. The veteran practitioners encouraged everyone, and we all wrote experience sharing articles. One practitioner was remarkable. He was able to maintain righteous thoughts and actions while he was imprisoned, but he never wrote an experience sharing article and said he didn’t know how to write one. My daughter made an appointment with him, and he came to our home. He dictated, and my daughter typed.
In order to hold the Fa conference well, my daughter and son-in-law collected, revised and printed out the articles. They were so busy that they didn’t have time to eat. My son-in-law was especially busy and often didn’t go to bed until midnight. He had to work during the day and pick up and drop off the two children from school. My daughter also had to go to work. She was a doctor, her work was very busy, and she had to work overtime on weekends. Everyone was busy, but things related to Falun Dafa could not be delayed, so I tried my best to help them cook and clean so they could focus on preparing for the conference.
Both children were very well behaved. They followed us to study the Fa in such an environment since they were young. I taught them to read Hong Yin when they were two years old. They were able to recite each poem after learning it twice. The older child is six years old, and when we study the Fa in our group, he reads with us. He can read Zhuan Falun and he practices all five sets of exercises. Sometimes he practices with us. The younger child is very sensible and obedient. Every day after school, he rushes to do his homework, and then studies the Fa and practices the exercises.
Three young practitioners recently joined us. After communicating with my daughter and son-in-law, they decided to study the Fa together.
It’s great for practitioners to read the teachings together, exchange our cultivation insights, and improve. In this way, a new Fa study group was established. These practitioners had to travel two hours to get here, but they feel that studying the Fa and exchanging cultivation experiences with others is very rewarding, so they come every week.
Group Fa study and doing the exercises together are the forms of cultivation that Master gave us, and we should abide by them. I listen to Master’s words and participate in group Fa study, so we can improve as a whole, keep up with the progress of Fa-rectification, help Master rectify the Fa and save more people, complete my mission, and go home with Master!
These are my understandings at my current level. Please correct me if anything I’ve said is not in line with the Fa.
