Advancing Together: Group Fa Study in the Taochumiao Area, Taiwan Before the Chinese New Year (Photos)
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) On Sunday, February 10, 2007, about 500 Falun Dafa
practitioners from the Taochumiao area gathered at National Chiao Tung
University for the monthly group Fa study. Group Fa study The weather turned better on the day of the monthly group Fa study, that many
practitioners have been awaiting. Nearly 500 practitioners attended. The meeting
room was so full that some practitioners had to sit on the stairs. But no matter
where they sat, it didn't bother them, as they were there to study the Fa
seriously. After Fa study, the practitioners began to exchange their experiences and
share their understandings. Many realized that the Fa-rectification is
progressing very fast and the Buddha's law is boundless, so a practitioner's
mind must be extending all the time so as to keep up. How to form one whole
body? One must give up the mindsets of territory, group or team, as anyone can
play a supplemental role to anyone else, so there will not be any loopholes in
the whole unit due to one individual's cultivation situation. And everyone must
take the initiative to understand the Fa-rectification and the major events
during its process, as well as do the three things well. Practitioners shared their understandings on the interference encountered by
the overseas New Tang Dynasty TV's Spectacular ticket hotline. The Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) exposed its evil nature through its ugly deeds. NTD TV
promotes the Renaissance of traditional Chinese culture of the past 5000 years
and the Spectacular is warmly embraced by both Chinese and Western audiences. It
is the will of all kindhearted people to respect Heaven and the divine beings so
it won't be hindered by the CCP. Some practitioners shared their understandings
and said that it was like putting out a fire to save lives. A practitioner
should use all possible channels to direct their righteous thoughts in stopping
the evil. Some practitioners also shared that making phone calls to relevant
departments in China with a compassionate heart to stop their evil actions was
actually saving their lives and was not meant to interfere with their work.
Other practitioners shared that one must keep a calm and peaceful heart while
making phone calls. It should not be treated as a routine job. One must be
persistent, righteous and kind. The Chinese New Year is coming. Some practitioners shared that we should also
do well with our work in everyday society, but we can't tire ourselves out, and
then use it as an excuse not to do the three things. A few practitioners shared
how they shortened their time of sleep, extended their capability of tolerance,
and did well in both caring for their families and the three things. Master
said, "Being able to prioritize things well is remarkable in its own right,
and it will result in your walking the path the right way, and that's mighty
virtue." (Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the
U.S. West Fa Conference) We must not relax on the path of Fa-rectification, and we must always keep
righteous thoughts and righteous actions in order to assist Master in Fa-rectification
and save the sentient beings. |
