Studying the Fa and Eliminating My Attachments


(Clearwisdom.net) In order to solidify my cultivation, I have started memorizing Zhuan Falun. It is not the first time that I have attempted to do this. I tried before but due to various reasons, I only finished Lunyu and the first paragraph of the first chapter. However, this time my view is different. I was touched by the story on the Clearwisdom website that one practitioner recited Zhuan Falun to fellow practitioners in prison. With Dafa in mind, one owns everything. I then formally started memorizing Zhuan Falun.

At the beginning, I was severely interfered with by thought karma. My mind went astray after remembering only one sentence. I could not control it. Sending forth righteous thoughts helped me a little, but it did not last long. Therefore, the process was very slow. However, I was not only not discouraged, but also saw it as a good thing. The interference from thought karma only told me that if I memorized the Fa, the karma would be eliminated. That is the reason it was trying so hard to stop me. Besides the interference from my thought karma, the old forces also interfered. As a result, I was very sleepy. Especially when I read slowly, I fell asleep several times.

After the first two days, I had only memorized two paragraphs. I realized that I could no longer allow the interference of my thought karma and the old forces. I started digging out the root and realized that the form of interference was that I thought of trivial details in daily life and could not concentrate on reading the Fa.

Being absent-minded is a manifestation of a weak main consciousness. In addition, I am a very imaginative person. Some people may think that this is good, but it is not so from the perspective of a cultivator. Although I stopped reading the "storybooks" in ordinary society after I started practicing Falun Gong, I was still very imaginative. In other words, I did not realize the seriousness of this issue. I also found that as long as we have an attachment, when it is exposed, it is time to let it go.

Therefore, I immediately sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate any imaginings and illusions in my daily life or when I studied the Fa.

Another attachment is that I sleep too much. To put it simply, I am lazy. As a cultivator during this very special time, I have wasted so much time in dozing off. Some practitioners only sleep two to three hours and can still do the three things well. This is the reason why the old forces took advantage of my loophole of sleepiness and caused interference. After identifying the roots of these problems, I eliminated them with righteous thoughts. Consequently my efficiency in memorizing the Fa has improved.
