Some Understandings Gained after Participating in Group Fa Study

By a practitioner in Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) After reading the article titled "Resuming Group Fa-study Not to be Overlooked" on October 7, 2005 on Minghui.org (http://www.minghui.ca/mh/articles/2005/10/7/111966.html), I compared it with group Fa-study in our area recently. I would like to share some of my understandings after attending group Fa-study. Please correct me if there's anything improper.

Everyone realizes the importance of group Fa-study. However, practitioners all shoulder various tasks related to saving sentient beings. So their thoughts center on saving people. It seems they still have a vague understanding of group Fa-study. Consequently, they cannot quiet their minds during group Fa-study. Some practitioners drink water in the middle and some go to the restroom (corrected after being pointed out). Things like these are often manifestations of not having a calm mind. It doesn't matter how busy we are, we all have to calm our minds to study the Fa. Even if it's only half an hour, as long as we can calm our minds the effect will be good. Therefore, when we have group Fa-study we must calm our minds. It is when we study the Fa well that we are able to save more sentient beings.

I noticed that after group Fa-study practitioners started discussing specifics. For instance, how to rescue and who is supposed to do what, and so on. There was no sharing of people's understanding of the Fa, nor was there sharing on people's understanding related to Fa-validation (including personal cultivation, exposing the persecution and saving sentient beings). Experience sharing is a form Teacher has left for us. Dafa practitioners' cultivation path is meant to be left behind for people in the future.

In China, the old forces' persecution initially forced us to lose our environment for group Fa-study, and even more so, it created gaps among us Dafa practitioners. This makes it more necessary than ever that we share our understandings when we are together, especially, when it comes to doing the three things well. We should find gaps among and inside ourselves, improve and elevate ourselves together, and form one harmonious and unshakable body. By doing so, we are also completely rejecting the old forces' arrangements and walking the path arranged by Teacher.
