Giving Up Human Attachments While Reciting and Memorizing Zhuan Falun

(Clearwisdom.net) Reading about how many fellow disciples are all learning Zhuan Falun by heart enlightened me. This is such great Dafa of the universe, why not memorize it and put it into one's head? I remember when I first obtained the Fa in 1997 and I tried to learn Zhuan Falun by heart, when I got to page 25 of the first lecture, I stopped. I felt I was too slow, and I was afraid it would disturb my Fa study. This time, however, I was truly firm in my heart and was determined to continue without tiring, and persevere to memorize it all. Just the idea made my heart feel an indescribable excitement, as if every nerve in my entire body was jumping. I was like a child who had found his way home.

As a result I began to memorize Zhuan Falun beginning in mid-January 2006. I started somewhat slow at first, but Master's every word and every sentence moved my heart and it all etched deeply into my brain. Deep attachments like the "heart of fear" were all slowly exposed. I remember in late 2004, I didn't study the Fa well and all kinds of attachments flowed out of my heart. I was taken advantage by the evil factors and I was taken to the hospital. After being released, I was unable to drop the attachment to medicine. It's been interfering with me. I had forgotten Teacher's words. How did I even resemble a cultivator? I wasn't even as good as an everyday person. Actually, this was myself that was unable to give up this attachment, and I didn't firmly believe in Master and Dafa. That "heart of fear" was like a mountain, pushing me down. I never could find an opening to break through it. That is why I was taken advantage of by the old forces.

When I finished memorizing the first lecture, my heart was immediately bright. Moreover, my body and heart felt the intense force and cleansing of Dafa. My body was changing, and thus the attachment to taking medicine was naturally released. Along with it, various other kinds of attachments were decreasing. I finally dug through these stubborn attachments of fear, the desire for a life of ease, and sentimentality. I went right to their roots and eliminated them.

Right now I am in the process of memorizing the second lecture. The more I do it, the faster the learning process. It is a little different than reading Zhuan Falun as I did before. Only when you quiet your heart can you truly learn it. Only then can the meaning be shown to you. I have finally found the Fa treasure to rid myself of my fundamental attachments.

Just like Master's words in "Drive Out Interference" from the Essentials for Further Advancement II,

I can only blame not placing the Fa in my heart for walking this twisted path. Because I had not rid myself of these attachments, I caused negative effects for Dafa. I also could not take advantage of opportunities to clarify the truth to save sentient beings.

By memorizing Zhuan Falun, I have begun to make myself right among everyday people, in the home, and while thinking every thought. I am conducting myself according to the standards of practitioners, raising my xinxing, seriously doing the three things well, and not giving any opportunities to the old forces and black-handed rotten demons. I dare to put my attachments on paper so I can eliminate them, break them up, and from the most fundamental level to deny the old forces' arrangements. Any pact I made in history I totally do not recognize, because I have my Master to care for me. Even though I have places I have not cultivated, holes and weaknesses, those are all things I must rid myself of in cultivation. I will purely walk the road Master has arranged for me.

I hope those fellow disciples who are in similar situations will consider reciting and memorizing Zhuan Falun as well! Remembering the Fa can eliminate those attachments we can see yet cannot dig out. Zhuan Falun is a book from heaven and it is a priceless treasure. In these final moments of Fa-rectification, reciting and memorizing the book can cultivate us and remove our most deeply hidden attachments. Every malicious state can be completely changed in Fa-rectification cultivation. Our road of validating the Fa and saving sentient beings will become straighter and wider. Let us all learn Zhuan Falun by heart!

The above are my experiences while memorizing the Fa. My level is limited, fellow disciples, so please use the Fa as the master and point out anything incorrect with compassion.
