By Liming from Beijing

(Clearwisdom.net) The Fa-Rectification is progessing very fast. As a Dafa disciple in the Fa-rectification period, I find it difficult to keep up with the requirements established by Master's Fa-rectification process. Superficially, I study the Fa but I haven't put my whole heart into it and haven't cultivated myself that much. I feel that I am not able to do things well, such as asking people to withdraw from the CCP and saving sentient beings. When fellow practitioners are persecuted, my heart bleeds yet I feel helpless. I read "Minghui Weekly" often and realize that all the above situations result from a lack of heartfelt study of the Fa

I feel that I harbor too many attachments and notions in my heart, and the portion of my heart that I focus on the Fa is too small. I haven't realized enough of the Fa's principles. Fa study to me becomes a formality. If I continue this way, my unprecedented opportunity to cultivate will slip away unnoticed. This is serious.

Today when I was reading Minghui Weekly Issue No. 295, one sentence moved my heart: "That day a practitioner told me that, from a photo on the website, he noticed that Master had aged considerably." This made me feel sad. For whom is Master bearing things? I remember Master once said: "If I did not do this thing today, I would be very relaxed." (Explaining the Fa for Changchun Falun Dafa Assistants, September 18, 1994, in Falun Dafa Yijie, Translator's translation. No official translation is available.) Actually, Master keeps emphasizing the importance of Fa study but I haven't taken it to heart. By reading fellow practitioners' articles, I see the gap between myself and diligent practitioners and have also found my fundamental attachments. I know Dafa is good but I haven't cultivated myself in my daily life. I have only been content with being a good person.

I wrote this article to set a new goal for my cultivation starting today.
