Walking Well the Remaining Path and Cherishing the Path Already Walked

By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Taiwan

(Clearwisdom.net) The Falun Dafa Club at Taiwan Tsinghua University and Taiwan Jiaotong University was established in 2002. The practice site and Young Scholar Group Fa-Study Club were also established at that time. After the club was established, all kinds of activities were arranged including a photo exhibition, an art exhibition, the "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" Art Exhibition, and a summer camp for teachers, scholars and junior college students.

During these past few years, some practitioners graduated and went to other universities, and others joined the club to study the Fa and cultivate themselves. Because everyone was a beginner and did not have a lot of experience, we had a lot of shortcomings. When there was a conflict, we shared our ideas and thoughts honestly and we were all touched by each other. Since I wasn't particularly considerate, I often caused others to be angry, but I did not realize it. It brought a lot of troubles to others. After fellow practitioners clearly and deeply analyzed my problems, I was suddenly able to enlighten and then I could improve myself.

Some words made me feel very uncomfortable. But when I looked within carefully, I could always find my problems and acknowledge my mistakes. When I look back after a few years, I frequently think that the practitioners who pointed out my problems were very innocent. I also really appreciate that these practitioners accepted me and walked the path with me up to today. Cultivation practice involves eliminating shortcomings, and without realizing it, I did not pay attention to my words and actions that could harm others. Right now when I look back, I find that I was wrong. Only when looking within did I realize what my problems were. During this process, there are always interferences, tests and conflicts.

I think coordination is very important for us. The group Fa-study gives us a very important environment to share experiences and improve ourselves. So it is very important to form a good environment to let everyone realize the importance of group Fa-study. Although the practitioners at the university are all very busy every day, they all try their best to participate in the group Fa-study in Xinzhu County and Xinzhu City and to participate in the Fa-introduction and truth-clarifying activities. Everyone tries their best to do things better. The fellow practitioner who attends the same university as I always gives me a ride to the activities. Everyone goes together to the group Fa-study, to practice the exercises, and to participate in the truth-clarifying activities. My fellow practitioners have helped me a lot in these years.

I still remember when the head of the evil went to Texas in the US in 2002. We sent forth righteous thoughts together in the location we used for group Fa-study and stayed there the entire night. At that time, the conditions there were not good, but no one minded. Instead we were happy that we had a place and we all cherished the environment. I can still remember a lot of touching stories that happened at this place. I am very glad that our practitioners helped each other and walked the path under Master's care.

I recall that when everyone knew about sending forth righteous thoughts, we practiced the exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts together at the practice site in Mingzhi College, Xinzhu City. In the beginning, I rode a bicycle to the practice site. It took me half an hour to get there. My mind was very pure at that time and I completely forgot myself. Later I had the opportunity to meet another practitioner at my university. We agreed to get up at 4:00 a.m., go to the practice site together at 4:30 a.m., and send forth righteous thoughts. We encouraged each other even when the weather was really cold and windy. For a while, we usually went to the East Gate during the weekend to clarify the truth and distribute truth-clarifying materials. The practitioners in Xinzhu County and Xinzhu City also participated in the activities. After the activities ended, we shared our cultivation experiences together.

During the Fa-rectification period, we usually discussed our Dafa work at the group Fa-study. However, fewer and fewer people participated in the Fa-study. After we shared this experience we realized that our starting point was wrong. We came to the mutual understanding that our discussion should focus on our xinxing improvement, not the details of Dafa work. Every time we had this problem again, we would remind each other.

The predestined relationships are really magical. One time I met an assistant in a group experience sharing conference but I never knew his name. Later I went to Xinzhu University. I called the local practitioner to ask if there were any truth-clarifying activities and asked him to give me a ride to the activities. When I met the practitioner, I felt like I had met a family member. The practitioner was the assistant I had met before! Dafa practitioners have harmony. I met a lot of practitioners but I didn't know their names. When we met each other, we felt like we had known each other for a long time and we did not need to know each other's name. We are all very clear that we are Dafa disciples helping Master to rectify the Fa. We will cherish all of Master's hard work to arrange all the precious cultivation opportunities for Dafa disciples.
