(Clearwisdom.net) Two practitioners, A and B, constituted a Fa-study group when it started in early 2006. After Practitioner A retired, she was introduced to Practitioner B, and they began studying the Fa together. Practitioner A began practicing Falun Gong in 1998, and has done very well in clarifying the truth of the persecution to others. However, she lagged a little behind in terms of studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. After the two of them began to study together, slowly they began catching up with Fa study and practicing the exercises. Moreover, they did even better in clarifying the truth of the persecution. After studying some of Master's most recent lectures (which they seldom read in the past), they realized that all the time remaining is left for Dafa disciples to save sentient beings, and felt the urgency of saving others very deeply in their hearts. They began spreading the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" actively in addition to clarifying the truth in person, and distributed flyers and posters. Due to their pure hearts and righteous thoughts, the effects were very good. They talked to almost everyone they knew and helped them withdraw from the Party. Many who became interested in the Fa even began cultivating with them.

They had many amazing and touching experiences in the process of clarifying the truth. Last winter, when A went to put up posters in the corridors, the glue didn't stick well due to the cold weather. After many tries she grew impatient, but immediately she thought, "Master! I am saving sentient beings." With that single thought, the large A4 paper immediately stuck to the wall flatly. After the incident she said, "It's impossible for others to know how I felt. Only I could truly feel it."

This April, Practitioner A returned to their hometown in Shandong Province with her mother (also a practitioner). On the train, they began studying Zhuan Falun, taking turns reading a paragraph each, just like they did at home. Very soon other people in the car came over to listen. Some even asked if they could borrow the book to read. A lay Buddhist wanted to take the book home. Two other people withdrew from the Party (two more withdrew on the return trip). When they returned and shared what happened with everyone else, the others thought it was incredible. Practitioner A said that at that time, she had not a single thought other than saving sentient beings. Indeed, "The cultivation is up to you, gong is up to the master." (Lecture 1, Zhuan Falun) It is Master doing everything for us.

This August, a practitioner's husband passed away in a car accident. Despite such a major blow, she was able to overcome it, admirably, beyond the ability of an ordinary person. That day, when she went to the scene of the accident, not only did she not cry, she began clarifying the truth to others. When he was cremated, she really wanted to burst out in tears, but she thought, "I am a god, what would a god do?" and immediately held back her tears. There was of course, help from fellow practitioners, but it is definitely Master supporting us. And then there's also the solid foundation built up from cultivation. During the three days of her husband's funeral, she helped 28 people withdraw from the Party, gave out two dozen "amulets" [often in the form of laminated cards that bear a few words reminding them of the goodness of Dafa] and even regretted not bringing more. It has been more than two months since her husband passed away. Sometimes there has been interference from sentimentality demons, but every time she was able to overcome it through studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts, sharing with other practitioners, and maintaining righteous thoughts to eliminate interference.

In early 2007, Practitioner C joined this group through a coordinator's introduction. C obtained the Fa in early 1999. After the persecution began, C continued studying the Fa but didn't put in much effort to practice the exercises and clarify the truth. After joining the Fa study, C began participating in the group exercises every morning. When laziness surfaced occasionally, C was able to overcome it with righteous thoughts, and has done very well. Once, when she was practicing the fifth exercise, she could see a rocket flying upward through the sky. Another time she heard a small child crying, "Save me!" She realized that it was Master enlightening her to be more diligent in cultivation and saving sentient beings.

Also, due to C's work schedule, she is unable to participate in the regular group Fa study. So we arranged the group study according to her schedule. The time was flexible, and if anyone fell behind, he or she would make it up at home. The effect was very good, and we continued sharing our understandings in group study. In clarifying the truth, Practitioner C had an attachment to fear in the beginning, but she has overcome it and is now able to join everyone else. Sometimes two of us do it together, sometimes three. Practitioner C has a very good foundation in studying the Fa and is able to clarify the truth very well. Very often C also helps people obtain the Fa after clarifying the truth. C teaches these people the exercises. Many people who obtained the Fa through her have been able to maintain doing the three things well. One new practitioner who moved to another city was also able to maintain diligence even without a group cultivation environment. This practitioner sometimes came all the way from the other city to share with C.

Practitioner C is also able to look inside whenever problems arise. In the past, she had many conflicts with her daughter. She was sometimes unable to maintain her xinxing. Through Fa study and cultivation, she was able to look inside to change herself. Very soon her daughter also changed, and has now already become a fellow practitioner.

Practitioner B is an older practitioner, who in 2001 traveled to Beijing to validate the Fa, but was illegally sentenced to imprisonment in a forced labor camp, where she suffered a great deal. After returning, B continued to do the three things, and was able to actively help other practitioners being persecuted to expose the evil. She very quickly returned to the path of cultivation in Fa-rectification. With her family's support, Practitioner B helped many practitioners who were living in exile, and even provided food and lodging for some practitioners in her family who were being constantly harassed. The three generations in B's family have given their full support. However, due B's harrowing experiences in prison, she had some attachments to fear. Sometimes she had conflicts with her husband when clarifying the truth, but her will to believe in Master, believe in the Fa, and do the three things has never wavered. Recently, she was interfered with by sickness karma and began to look inside. She found many hidden attachments and realized that problems with her family were due to her own attachments, especially the party culture that has been ingrained in her, most notably the "I'm always right" mentality. She realized that it was her attachment to competition that caused her family problems. With so many attachments to sentimentality, being afraid of this and that, focusing on others' faults, etc., she had been unable to improve her xinxing. Through this incident, she found her most hidden attachments.
