Studying the Fa Diligently and Looking Inward to Find Our Own Shortcomings

By a practitioner from Hong Kong

(Clearwisdom.net) Last month I resolved to myself that regardless of how busy I am every day, I must ensure that I study at least two lectures in the book Zhuan Falun, even if it means going without sleep. Only a month has passed by, but I feel that I have improved significantly in many respects.

First of all, when clarifying the truth I have been able to calmly concentrate my attention, so the efficacy of the truth-clarification has been quite good. For instance, while distributing the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in tourist areas, I can distribute many copies in a short period of time. On several instances, I finished distributing an entire box of the Nine Commentaries after an hour or two.

Secondly, I have been able to maintain a kind and peaceful state. Although Hong Kong's lifestyle is very fast-paced, my heart has actually been very calm and relaxed.

Thirdly, along with my xinxing improvement, I feel that the environment around me has changed. For instance, some tourists and tour guides have actively come to me to learn the truth and to ask for truth-clarification materials. In my home, my wife, also a practitioner, has diligently cultivated herself as well, while my father-in-law has started saying that Falun Dafa is good and my mother-in-law has also started reading Zhuan Falun. I can feel that people around me have started changing. Actually, after we cultivate ourselves well, everything in our righteous energy fields becomes good.

I have enlightened that cultivating oneself well can save sentient beings on a constant basis. While paying more attention to studying the Fa diligently, we should also pay attention to seeking inward for those attachments that we haven't yet given up, and then work hard to remove them. I hope that I can soon achieve complete abandonment of all my attachments, and meanwhile I hope that all of my fellow practitioners will study the Fa more diligently. When encountering difficulties, we shouldn't blame each other, but instead look inward to find our own shortcomings and remove them. We should diligently cultivate ourselves and together do well the three things that Teacher has requested of us. The sentient beings are waiting to be saved!
