To Fellow Practitioners at Truth-Clarification Materials Production Sites: Study the Fa Well

Written by Sui Yuan from Shandong Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Several days ago I met a fellow practitioner that I had not seen for several years (He was a coordinator at our practice site). I was moved by all the family members of his who were destitute and homeless but still persisted in validating Dafa. In China, it is unknown how many Dafa practitioners are destitute and homeless in order to validate Dafa and provide truth-clarification materials for the practitioners in the surrounding regions. I admire their actions and spirit.

During my short chat with him (one hour), I felt that he did not study the Fa or practice well. When I asked him when he studied Fa and practiced, he avoided the question and did not answer me openly. His manner was not open and aboveboard, either, which gave me the feeling that he was worried about being found by someone. Here, I'd like to say a few words in confidence to all fellow practitioners at the truth-clarification materials production sites.

Fellow practitioners! We are Dafa disciples during the Fa-rectification period! Fa study and the practice must be guaranteed! Especially for fellow practitioners at the truth-clarification materials production sites, how much Fa you study and exercises you do has to do with your safety, the safety of the truth-clarification materials production sites. Even more important is that it impacts the source of Dafa truth-clarification materials in the surrounding regions, and the issue of whether beings can be saved. If the truth-clarification materials production sites are destroyed or the fellow practitioners at the sites are taken advantage of through these omissions, how many beings would not be saved?

Do not develop the attachment of doing things, pursuing efficiency, doing more, specific tasks and so on. There is a story in "Minghui Weekly.": In ancient times, there was a seller of pears worrying about the closing of the city gate, so he wanted to catch up with others entering the city. Thus, he sped up his footsteps. Because of carelessness, the pears fell on the ground. When he had collected all the pears, the city gate was already closed and he did not get in. Therefore I think we should go about little by little without a letup and not waste all our efforts on single things. The number of beings saved is not determined by the number of materials we print out, nor how much we do. Only after we raise our levels by studying the Fa and practicing, can we develop compassion, which makes every sentence we say and each copy of the truth-clarification material able to disintegrate the evil elements influencing people. That will move them and truly touch their heart. Only then is it able to save them. Otherwise it is far from saving them. We pace up and down at this level for a long time. Finally, either we do not raise our levels or our attachment is used by the evil so the evil takes advantage of all these omissions.

Therefore I think studying the Fa is the basis for each of our disciples. If we use any excuse or any project to postpone or replace Fa-study time, this will be the road the old forces have arranged, which is what the old force's are most happy to see. This is not being responsible to ourselves, fellow practitioners and all beings.

We all know that "cultivation is up to you, gong is up to the master." How do we "cultivate"? We all engage in looking inwardly for problems.

Finally I would like to refer to Master's article "Melt Into the Fa" to encourage each other.

"As a student, if his mind is filled with nothing but Dafa, this person is definitely a genuine cultivator. So you must have a clear understanding on the matter of studying the Fa. Reading the books more and studying the books more is the key to truly elevating yourself. To put it more simply, as long as you read Dafa, you are changing; as long as you read Dafa, you are elevating. The boundless content of Dafa plus the supplementary means—the exercises—will enable you to reach Consummation. Group reading or reading by yourself is the same."

I sincerely hope all fellow practitioners at Dafa truth-clarification materials production sites and coordinators will memorize this Fa. I also hope all fellow practitioners send forth righteous thoughts to strengthen the fellow practitioners at truth-clarification materials production sites, whether you know them personally or not.

This understanding is based on my own level, so please point out anything improper.
