By a practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) The young practitioners in our area began to study the Fa together in 2005. After studying the Fa together, they share their experiences and understandings, just like we adults do. By doing this, they all make great progress. Most of them can understand the Fa from the perspective of the Fa and discipline themselves with a cultivator's standard. The result has been good. For nearly a year we have studied Fa together once every week and no one has ever been late. We start by sending righteous thoughts around 6 p.m. After that we study Fa until 8 p.m. Then we practice.

Now it's the school holidays and we study the Fa every night. When studying the Fa together, everyone reads two paragraphs. At the very beginning, because little children love to play, they didn't really want to study the Fa. Gradually the more they study the Fa, the more active they become and more they like to read the Fa. Now, if one of them reads more than two consecutive paragraphs, the next practitioner will say, "Hey, your turn is over. You've read too much. It's my turn to read now." Now these kids do not need to be pushed to study the Fa and they start studying right on time every class.

Through studying the Fa these kids improve the levels of their morality. They care about other people, and never swear or curse at one another. When sitting with legs folded, no one wants to put their legs down first. Now all of them can sit with both their legs folded for more than half an hour.

Sometimes they are asked to share understandings after studying. They even use words that cultivators use like, "After studying Fa I was enlightened that ..." or, "I understand what our Teacher said was meant for me ...", etc. Their xinxing, morality and health have improved and keep ascending.

For example, there is a little practitioner in our area. His name is Song Song (alias). He is ten years old but has been practicing Dafa for 8 or 9 years. The progress that he has made through Fa studying is great. He began to read Zhuan Falun when he was in Grade Two, word by word, paragraph by paragraph. He has read Zhuan Falun 8 or 9 times. For the most part, he disciplines himself with Fa. When he does something which doesn't conform to the Fa, you can point it out to him saying, "Song Song, you are a little practitioner of Dafa, right? You are supposed to behave in the right way, right?" Then he will realize what to do right away. Now, he is more active in sending righteous thoughts and practicing than before. It should be pointed out that he now puts all his heart in the Fa and in saving sentient beings. In the past, all the money that he collected from adults over the Chinese New Year was used to buy fireworks or other kid's stuff. This year after he came back home from his Grandpa's house, he said, "This time I will use this money to do the right thing." "What is the right thing?" his mom asked him. He told her solemnly, "I will use this money to make truth clarifying materials so as to save people." Then he gave his mom all his money.

There is another little practitioner. His name is Xin Yu (alias), seven years old. Because both of his grandmothers are practitioners of Falun Dafa, he was introduced to Dafa when he was very young. The environment was conducive to purifying and upgrading himself in Dafa. One miraculous thing about him is that he could read Zhuan Falun when he was not even 6 years old, and he could read very fluently. Because of this, his grandpa also began to learn Dafa. Xin Yu asked his grandpa to study the Fa with him. His grandpa agreed and studied with Xin Yu. Later his grandpa began to study Zhuan Falun himself. Little Xin Yu is also very serious when doing practice. Sometimes he tells the truth like his grandma. This is the power of Dafa. It's Dafa that upgrades them.

The above examples tell us how important it is for little practitioners to study the Fa together. This environment is the best way for them to raise their xinxing and upgrade themselves. Now it's the school holidays. We suggest that all areas that have suitable conditions and a number of young practitioners organize Fa study and practice together for them. By doing this, they can make greater progress in the course of validating Fa.

Finally let's quote one of our Teacher's sayings:
