A Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa disciples are all working very hard, but different practitioners reveal different states of cultivation while doing Dafa work. From my observation, doing things truly well requires acting in accordance with the Fa. Otherwise, practitioners may become busier and busier, and the results will be less than ideal.

A few days ago, I traveled to another city to meet with some practitioners. After chatting for a while, a fellow practitioner said, "We definitely have to study the Fa more, and more, because we need to handle everything very well!" It was lunchtime, she said, "Since you came here, I will go to prepare a meal." I didn't say a word, but thought, "they have to prepare lunch anyway [even without me here]." She then continued, "If you did not come here, we would not bother to make lunch, just to save more time for Fa study." Thinking about her words, I asked, "How do you conduct your daily Fa study?" She said, "After getting up around three in the morning, we do the exercises, followed by Fa-study till noon. After doing Dafa work in the afternoon, we continue to study Fa until sending forth righteous thoughts at midnight."

I used to have the notion that while an everyday person sleeps eight hours; practitioners should still sleep at least five hours. After hearing her words, I realized I was still restrained by this notion. In "Lunyu" of Zhuan Falun, Teacher mentioned "conventional thinking" twice, and "rigid mentalities" once. He also said, "If human beings are able to take a fresh look at themselves as well as the universe and change their rigid mentalities, humankind will make a leap forward." After returning home and sharing with fellow practitioners, we adjusted our schedule to catch up with Fa-study. Very quickly my mind became steady, and I understood how following the Fa closely will achieve the best results when doing Dafa work.

A few days ago, I went to city A to get some Dafa materials. At one point when I needed some help, it was "fortunate" that a fellow practitioner came along. Since large quantities of Dafa materials needed to be transferred, we hoped to get it done as early as possible; and the fewer people around, the better. To our benefit, it "suddenly" started to rain, and no other people were around at our destination. The materials were thus delivered, and there were no problems.

Although we had transported such a large quantity of materials, the work was no more difficult than going out for a walk. It was because I calmed my heart and changed my mentality through increased Fa-study that we achieved the best effect and everything went so well!
