Focusing on Studying the Fa and Doing Our Dafa Work as Cultivators
By a Dafa practitioner in Australia
(Clearwisdom.net) Teacher's poem "The Knowing Heart" reminds us to, "Follow
Teacher closely, steadfastly cultivating Dafa." As the Fa-rectification advances, we Dafa
practitioners have begun various projects to introduce people to Falun Dafa and have achieved very good effects in clarifying the
truth and exposing the evil. I understand that we are harmonizing the Fa in the human world. These
are among the many pleasant expressions of Dafa in this world. During this process, because we have lots of contact with people and a great work
burden, sometimes we did not pay enough attention, did not study the Fa well enough, and also had
less time to study the Fa. Therefore, we couldn't always keep a clear mind; our minds for
cultivation and feelings about a Dafa disciple's responsibilities were weakened, and unknowingly we
could become easily attached to the forms used to introduce Falun Dafa to others, and to our own
position in Dafa. We may have forgotten that we are a part of Dafa as a whole and that all of our
abilities are bestowed by Dafa, which makes it is easy for us to consider things from the
perspective of an everyday person instead of from the Fa. Actually, using any form to introduce Falun Dafa to others or thinking too much about our
positions is not our goal. As Dafa disciples in the Fa-rectification period, clarifying the truth
and saving the sentient beings in order to fulfill our vows are essential. I enlightened to the fact
that any of our thoughts are dangerous if they lead us away from Teacher and Dafa, and we need to
eliminate such thoughts immediately. Teacher has already reminded us: "Under any circumstance, in any period, and no matter how busy you are with your work, you
can't stray from your Fa-study, as this is what fundamentally ensures that you will improve and
reach Consummation. You can't do Dafa work without studying the Fa, or it would be an everyday
person doing Dafa work. It has to be Dafa disciples who do Dafa work--this is the requirement for
you." ("Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Fa
Conference" - Guiding the Voyage) At the beginning of 2003 fellow practitioners, let's walk "the rest of the journey"
("New Year's Greetings from Master") well, complete our prehistoric vows, and let's not
disappoint Teacher's benevolent salvation. Fellow practitioners please kindly point out any of my mistakes.
