By Rui Lian, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Hebei Province

(Clearwisdom.net) After the Minghui website published the announcement for the China-wide morning group practice, I set my alarm to wake me up at 3:40 a.m. However, I wasn't able to get up consistently every day. Sometimes I did not hear the alarm, and other times I heard it but I would turn it off and continue to sleep. One morning not long ago, I had a dream. I would like to share it with my fellow practitioners.

One morning in late April, I distinctly heard a voice in my dream shouting, "Jingui! Jingui! Jingui!" [ed: Which means as precious as gold]. Then I saw a sleeping person turn over. Just then I woke up and looked at my watch: It was exactly 3:40 a.m. I understood then that it is very important for the Dafa disciples in China to attend the morning group practice. This morning practice time is more precious than gold. In my understanding, it also shows that our practitioners in China believe in and closely follow Teacher, believe in the Fa, deny the old forces' arrangements and are firmly against the persecution.

A few times after the Chinese New Year this year, my legs were in a lot of pain after an hour and a half of meditation. I recalled what Teacher said:

"Once it hurts, the karma starts to be eliminated, and the more the karma presses down, the more his legs hurt. So there's a reason behind the pain in his legs. People who are meditating usually feel the pain in their legs coming in waves, and the pain lasts for a while, it gets excruciating, and then after it's gone there's some relief, but not for long, because the pain starts again. That's usually how it goes." ("Lecture Four" in Zhuan Falun)

I continued to practice all the same until the exercise music finished. Later I shared this experience with fellow practitioners. They said they also felt the same way during those days. But since April 8, I have been attending the Minghui broadcast morning group practice every day and I can feel a very strong energy field. It is like going back to how group practice was before July 20, 1999. For over a month, I did not feel any more pain in my legs during the exercises even though I did not get up to do the morning group practice every day. After the meditation, I would send forth righteous thoughts until 6:10 a.m. Then I used ten minutes for personal hygiene and started to recite Zhuan Falun sitting with my legs crossed until 7 a.m. After that I'd head off to work at 7:40. I truly understood that with the progress of Fa-rectification, the requirements for Dafa disciples are higher.

In particular:

1. We should guarantee that we study the Fa well. I have found that reciting the Fa is a good way to study well and it allows the Fa fill every cell of our body. As early as the beginning of 1995, Teacher had already told us,

"Those of us who have the ability, who are in their prime, excepting people who are older or who have poor memory, should try to memorize the book." (Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa).

Right now, I recite the Fa for three hours every day. The time before the end of the Fa-rectification period is left for Dafa disciples. This instant is precious beyond measure. In my understanding, we should be able to recite Zhuan Falun, Essentials for Further Advancement and Hong Yin, and examine ourselves based on the Fa all the time. Master said:

"You have to really be strict with yourself. In Buddha Law cultivation you have to boldly and vigorously forge ahead." ("Lecture Four" in Zhuan Falun)

2. We should ensure that we join the times for sending forth righteous thoughts and doing the exercises, and speed up the process of transforming the entire human body into high-energy matter. Only by doing so will the power of our righteous thoughts be stronger and will we hasten to thoroughly eliminate the evil.

3. We should clarify the truth and save sentient beings. Teacher said:

"The Dafa disciples' three things are to be done well. At present, the most important thing is to save sentient beings, save more people! That is the most important thing." ("Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference")

Right now is the time for us to assist Master in the human world and fulfill our vows made long ago. But we must study the Fa well, send forth righteous thoughts well, and take the Fa as our guide. Then we can walk our path righteously and save sentient beings with rationality, a calm mind, and wisdom.
