Since "7.20" (July 20, 1999), the evil forces have not allowed Dafa practitioners to have contact with each other, let alone study the Fa and to practice the exercises together. Fellow practitioners lost contact with each other. Some practitioners couldn't follow the Fa-rectification process because they didn't have Master's newest articles. Some practitioners slacked off because of the pursuit for a comfortable human life. We should "stand by" what the evil is afraid of the most. Master once said, "Keeping Dafa's tradition, maintaining Dafa's cultivation principles and upholding practicing is a long term test for Dafa disciples." ("Let go of human notions and uphold cultivation" of Essentials For Further Advancement) "Strive forward together; a bright future lies ahead." ("In Harmony with the Fa" from Hongyin, un-official translation) "You should often communicate with students in other countries, encourage each other, and progress together with diligence." ("From Master to the Second Dafa Conference in Russia") "I also want to tell you that your nature in the past was actually based on egotism and selfishness. From now on, whatever you do, you should consider others first, so as to attain the righteous Enlightenment of selflessness and altruism. So from now on, whatever you do or whatever you say, you must consider others--or even future generations--along with Dafa's eternal stability." ("Non-Omission in Buddha-Nature" of Essentials For Further Advancement) Everybody realized that we must not only adhere to Fa-rectification, but also help those practitioners who were left behind to catch up with Fa-rectification. The best way to do this was to resume group Fa study--the fastest way to advance as recommended by Master.

In the past three months, by holding almost 200 small and larger experience-sharing conferences, Dafa practitioners in this city all realized the importance of group Fa study. After these experience-sharing conferences, practitioners voluntarily formed Fa-study groups, and the Fa-studying sites were re-established immediately. Through Fa-study, practitioners discovered their own deficiencies by comparing and learning from each other, and the Fa-rectification and Fa-spreading processes had unexpected good results. In those short few months, approximately 200 practitioners went to Beijing to appeal and went to Tiananmen Square to display Dafa banners. Many of them were practitioners who had stayed behind until recently, or went on a wrong path and were trying to make up. More surprisingly, Dafa practitioners clarified the truth, face to face, to everyday people, handing them truth-clarifying materials and CD-ROMs. The righteous force was rising rapidly. Some practitioners even went to police departments and police stations to clarify the truth. People who were thus offered salvation thanked Dafa practitioners with tears in their eyes. Just as expected by Master, everybody was shocked by the great mighty virtue of Dafa, and everybody chose "Falun Dafa is good."

The former assistants and practitioners who had run Dafa practicing sites all stepped forward. They looked for every practitioner who began practicing Dafa before "7.20," and not allow anyone to be left behind. Patiently, they reached out, door by door, to clarify the truth. The pure kindness of Dafa practitioners harmonized everything, people were being offered salvation and have hope now. Those who were offered salvation helped practitioners to clarify the truth, and have protected Dafa practitioners when possible. The arrangement made by the old forces has disintegrated. Dafa practitioners became one integral, indestructible part. In the near future, we will see Dafa studying sites returning and new ones forming all over, and Dafa information will be found everywhere.
