(Clearwisdom.net) Last night I received Teacher's new scripture given to me by a fellow practitioner, and I wished to recite it. However, after I sent forth righteous thoughts (SFRT) with fellow practitioners at 11:00 p.m., my mind wanted to sleep.
For quite a long period of time, I was trapped by sleepiness. As soon as I lied down, I fell asleep and therefore always missed the 12:00 p.m. SFRT for global Falun Dafa practitioners. Even the alarm clock failed to wake me. Also, I could not get up at 4:00 a.m. as I did before to practice Falun Dafa exercises. This worried me greatly.
Therefore, I tried hard not to fall asleep. Also, fellow practitioners encouraged me. As a result, I picked up the Fa lecture, "A Congratulatory Message" and started to read. After reading it two or three times, I was totally awake and no longer felt sleepy. I then read it several more times and I was even able to recite it. I sent a strong thought: I will recite this Fa lecture to all those Falun Dafa practitioners who are being illegally detained. I took a look at my watch and it was only 11:27 p.m.
After that, I also read several of Teacher's other scriptures several times. It was then time for SFRT. We did SFRT with an enlivened spirit before we went to sleep.
Today, when I got up, I was in a much better state in comparison to that of the past several days. Furthermore, we clarified the truth very smoothly while outdoors. While on a bus, I distributed the truth-clarification materials, and also advised people to do the "three withdraws." This refers to withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the CCP Youth League, and the CCP Young Pioneers. Everyone accepted what I was giving out and what I said. This is the mighty power of the Fa! So here, through the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, I want to thank our compassionate great Teacher for painstakingly providing salvation to me, a disciple who has not been very diligent. I also want to remind our fellow practitioners to recite Teacher's short Fa lectures since such efforts can bring great benefits to our cultivation practice. My personal experience is that the inner contents of reciting Fa lectures are much more profound and intricate than simply reading Fa lectures.
This is only my personal understanding. If there are any mistakes, I ask fellow practitioners to compassionately point them out to me.
