(Clearwisdom.net) Many practitioners had recently published their opinion articles relating to the Falun Gong exercises on Clearwisdom. I felt quite enlightened after I read them. I also want to contribute some of my personal understandings on this matter.

I think every practitioner should persist in doing the exercises. During this Fa-rectification period in particular, since the old forces take personal cultivation as the most important aspect, they may interfere if one ignores this. If a Dafa practitioner cannot persist with Fa study and the exercises, even if he rescued many beings through clarifying the truth, the evil old forces might still impose greater tribulations as tests and they might feel that such a practitioner is not qualified.

When this happens, being able to completely deny the old forces' arrangements at all time can help him to pass the tribulation. One might otherwise fall into their trap, and start to encounter all kinds of incidents of “dissolving karma” and even lose one's life in this dimension. Although the practitioner has succeeded in his cultivation, it still caused some loss and increased difficulties in clarifying the truth and rescuing people. Why should we give the evil old forces any excuse to persecute us? We shall cultivate nobly and not give them any excuses to test us.

At the current time, some practitioners are too busy clarifying the truth to have time to practice the exercises and feel they barely have enough time. Persisting with the exercises will actually not impact our time to clarify the truth, because efficiency and results of truth-clarification vary. We might face different ordinary people when we clarify the truth. Some of them are quite bad. If we do not let them perturb us and keep on explaining the truth with pure kindness, the results will be good. Persisting with the exercises can help us achieve this. Each time I practiced the exercises, I felt my divine side suppressing my human side, and such a state can last a long time after the exercises. When I clarify the truth while in such a state, the result will be even better, because I am suppressing the common person's bad thoughts.

Let me speak from another perspective. If all overseas practitioners can go to a practice site to do the exercises, we help to promote Dafa and clarify the truth. The powerful energy field of the group exercises can eliminate bad elements and change a person's bad notion. Everybody that passes by the practice site might unintentionally be rectified. If there are practitioners at the site handing out materials that clarify the truth, the result is even better. Ordinary people will learn more about Falun Gong. When they see such a nice group of people being persecuted by the evil CCP simply because they insist on doing the exercises every day, it will make it easier for them to understand the truth. Concurrently, people with predestined relationships to enter into cultivation practice will have that opportunity; therefore, doing group exercises at the practice site is for one to persist in practicing the exercises while clarifying the truth.

Many overseas practice sites can be found on the Internet. Many Dafa practitioners from Mainland China go to the practice sites to find practitioners as soon as they come overseas. There are also people who want to learn or understand the truth of Falun Gong that come to the practice site by following the address on the Internet. If a practice site has no Dafa practitioners to practice the exercises, how would ordinary people see this?

If we have truth-clarifying activities during the day, can we change the exercise time to the evening? If there are no longer any practitioners coming to a practice site at a specific area because they have moved away, can we temporarily remove such information from the Internet until we once again have more practitioners later on?

Ordinary people don't just listen to what we say, they also watch what we do and how we act. If we cannot fulfill what we say, it will bring losses to Dafa and increase the difficulties in saving people.
