(Clearwisdom.net) I am very fond of reading experience sharing articles on the Clearwisdom website. From fellow practitioners' articles, I've been able to recognize my own attachments and gained insights. They help me to strengthen my righteous thoughts. Some practitioners said that drafting an experience sharing article is also a way to improve, so I'm writing down my personal experience to share with everybody.

Assimilating to the Fa, Changes Come from the Fa

I became a practitioner in July 1996. Ever since I obtained the precious book Zhuan Falun I have been following Master's teaching to study the Fa again and again. Master said,

"All of the Gong and Fa lie in the book, and one will naturally obtain them by reading Dafa. Those who learn it will change automatically, and they will already be in the Dao when they read the book over and over again. Teacher will certainly have Law Bodies (fashen) safeguarding them quietly. With perseverance, they will certainly achieve Righteous Attainment in the future." ("Seeking Discipleship with Teacher" from Essentials for Further Advancement)

With a solid foundation in Fa-study, when the persecution first started, I was not affected, and was not shaken in my belief in Master and Dafa one bit. I continued doing what a practitioner is expected to do. In the meantime, I shared with fellow practitioners my enlightenment in Fa-study and understanding of the situation. I went to every practitioner's residence to talk to each one of them. I continued studying the Fa everyday. Master said,

"A person is like a container, and he is whatever he contains."
"As a student, if his mind is filled with nothing but Dafa, this person is definitely a genuine cultivator."
"Reading the books more and studying the books more is the key to truly elevating yourself."
("Melt Into the Fa" from Essentials for Further Advancement)

Master also said,

"A Dafa disciple... what's a Dafa disciple? He's a being created by the most magnificent Fa, (enthusiastic applause) and he's rock-solid and as indestructible as diamond." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Washington, D.C. Fa Conference")

In the past ten years since I became a practitioner, studying the Fa has always been my priority. I know that, "One's gong level is as high as one's xinxing level." (Zhuan Falun) It is the Fa that has guided me to let go of my attachments, purify my thoughts, elevate my wisdom, and save sentient beings through the various opportunities Master has compassionately arranged.

Doing What Master Tells Me to Do

Dafa disciples must pay attention to Master's teachings. Fa-rectification Dafa disciples must undertake tasks that offer salvation to sentient beings. In these years of Fa-rectification, I have been writing truth-clarification letters to validate the Fa. I have also regularly clarified the truth to people and encouraged them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. However, I felt that my efforts were insufficient because I knew that I still hung onto an ordinary human mentality since I dared not go to the countryside to tell the people there about Falun Gong and try to persuade them to quit the CCP. I was afraid if I took on bigger tasks, the evil forces would find some loopholes in me and persecute me again. In addition, I sometimes did not explain to people thoroughly enough when I asked them to quit the CCP. Last year, however, with a fellow practitioner's help, I finally went out to distribute materials and Shen Yun Performing Arts DVDs. I also went to the countryside to deliver materials. I learned that to improve myself by telling people the facts about Falun Gong was the most solid improvement. The more I do this, the more abilities the Fa gives me.

Be Constantly Diligent and Persevere

We should tie-in our task and mission of offering salvation to people with our daily lives. Our relatives and friends are people we should save. Assisting Master to rectify the Fa to is to hand-deliver and orally present Master's mercy to people. We should not hesitate when we meet with people who have a predestined relationship. Our first thought should be to ask Master to strengthen our abilities so that we can save the person. We should carry materials with us, such as Shen Yun DVDs and copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and distribute them to people at every opportunity. We can leave the materials on cars and bicycles parked by the road side and distribute them whenever we can.

The Process of Saving Sentient Being Is Also the Process of Cultivating Myself

To do the three things well, after sending-forth-righteous thoughts at 6:00 every morning, I always study the Fa for an hour. After that, I go out and talk to others about Falun Gong with fellow practitioners. I use the Fa to direct my every word and act. The process of clarifying the truth to people resembles the process of breaking through my attachments and elevating myself. As long as our hearts are on the Fa, it is natural for us to do things according to the Fa. Furthermore, we will also naturally search inside ourselves. Hence, the environment around us will consequently be created by our righteous thoughts. We should not give up on anyone we happen to meet, nor should we miss anybody near us, either. It is because Master has arranged for those who have a predestined relationship with us to come to us. In saving sentient beings, we need to move with every step to solidly assimilate to the Fa and coordinate with fellow practitioners. I know that Master is watching over us every single moment.

We should be more and more diligent. This is the only way we can show our gratitude for Master's merciful salvation. Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners! Heshi.
