By Falun Dafa Practitioner Jinglian in Henan Province

(Clearwisdom.net) It was 10:00 a.m., after I had taught the class. I finished the second exercise, sent forth righteous thought at 11:00 a.m., and then started to memorize the Fa. My husband would not come home for lunch that day, so cooking would be easier. I was at the third to last paragraph of "About the Third Eye" in "The Second Talk" of Zhuan Falun,

I had worked on this paragraph for almost a week, but I could not memorize it. I wanted to cry! Since I was unable to remember it, I had many human attachments surfacing, such as interference in my work, discomfort on my physical body, feeling sleepy while memorizing the Fa or sending forth righteous thoughts, and even wanting to play computer games for a bit. I knew these thoughts were not right, but why could I not resist the human temptations?

Today I memorized the paragraph very smoothly. After I recited the paragraph fluently, tears ran down my face. Then another miracle occurred. I took less than twenty minutes to memorize the next paragraph. I have never been able to do that. I enlightened that this is the great law, not everyday people's knowledge which only requires several times to recite repeatedly. If my mind is not pure, I can never remember the Fa, but instead grow impatient. I had a very pure and clean mind today. I did the exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts, so Master helped me clean all of the elements in my realms that were not righteous.

I started memorizing the Fa in January 2006 at a very slow speed. I witnessed that fellow practitioners who had a lower education than I were able to memorize more quickly. I learned that memorizing the Fa is closely related with xinxing cultivation, and not very much with education. People with higher education can be interfered with if the Party Culture poisoning was not cleaned out well.

I memorized "The First Talk" of Zhuan Falun during the Chinese New Year Holidays (January 29, 2006). Due to keeping a high xinxing level, I did relatively well although it was not extremely fast. Fellow practitioners told me that this is common on "The First Talk" and that it usually will become quicker after starting "The Second Talk." Meanwhile my memorizing of The Second Talk" has been slow just the same. I recall now that it was because I had been busy with ordinary people's work and daily life and I did not treat my cultivation and daily life or work well. With one hand I held on to ordinary life tightly, and with the other hand I wanted to cultivate well. How could that be possible? Every part of a cultivator is limited by xinxing.

The Fa-rectification has proceeded so fast, but I still have difficultly memorizing the Fa. This will never do. If I do not study the Fa well, I will not melt into the Fa well, and my cultivation state will interfere with saving sentient beings and doing the three things well. I thought about this before, but I could not break through. The memorizing of the Fa today helped me enlighten a bit. I must have a pure and calm mind to study or memorize the Fa, not carry any notions, and I should send forth righteous thoughts to clean my realms and outside interference.

The above is my understanding to share with fellow practitioners. Please point out my errors.
