(Clearwisdom.net) I started to learn Falun Gong in June 1996. For over ten years, I have been studying the Fa, distributing Falun Gong informational materials and posting flyers safely under Master's protection. Clarifying the truth was the most difficult thing for me, because I really did not want to talk to strangers, and I didn't know how to start. I just hoped someone could give me advice, so that I could do it effectively. I felt I had to go out to clarify the truth. Perhaps due to this thought, Master arranged for me to join a Fa study group. For over a year, I have been helped by the group so much. Here is my sharing.

In our group, all practitioners obtained the Fa before 1999 and everyone is diligent. When studying the Fa, we do not read too fast, or else we will not understand the Fa deeply. We are not allowed to misspeak any words. If someone misspeaks a word, others will correct him. Studying the Fa is solemn. If you read one word incorrectly, someone might explain the word, someone else might add some other words, and as time goes on, the Fa is unintentionally changed. Isn't this a serious problem? So we try not to read any words incorrectly.

Our group studies the Fa in the morning, and sends forth righteous thoughts at noon. We all go out to clarify the truth and then study the Fa again at midnight. Some practitioners don't sleep before midnight, but continue to study the Fa and read materials. Some practitioners sleep before midnight, and then get up early to study the Fa. We all start the exercises at 3:45 a.m. We never delay anything. When there is time, we share our experiences. With other practitioners' help, I have corrected myself, and no longer feel sleepy when studying Fa, and I can concentrate on reading the Fa as well.

Fellow practitioner A is in her eighties. She sleeps for only 3 hours every day, and never feels sleepy. She has recited the Fa over 30 times. She still recites the Fa, and says it's quiet at night and this is good for reciting the Fa. In over ten years, she has practiced Falun Dafa eagerly, and has never fallen behind. She even goes to prisons and police branches far away to send forth righteous thoughts and save sentient beings. No matter whether it's the cold winter or hot summer, she will always go. No matter what problems there are in our group, she will patiently guide us to be good. I have never seen her lose her temper. She is always kind and compassionate, which touched me very much. Last year, she and her husband lost their son. That struck them hard. Fellow practitioners then helped to guide her with the Fa and she got through the crisis of emotion in an extremely short time, and even does the three things more diligently. Her husband, another fellow practitioner, who has very high enlightenment, said he had given up emotion a long time ago. What willpower he must have! Practitioner A always demands that her main consciousness must predominate, and her mind must be right. Even if she makes a small mistake, she will look inside and expose her weakness in front of us all. I should learn from her. Dafa disciples should all be magnanimous.

Practitioner B is the main force in clarifying the truth in our group. She speaks with great understanding. Whenever she hears that someone is good at learning the Fa and clarifying the truth, she will go to learn from them, and come back to share with us. She always says we do not need to explain the truth intentionally, but just clarify the truth any time and anywhere. So when she needs to do something, like shopping, taking the bus, taxis, or walking, she will always clarify the truth and save people without fear. She talks to anyone, including workers, peasants, drivers, soldiers, policemen, officers, teachers. Most often she talks to students, as she feels it is important to save them. Once there were two people who were walking toward us, I said we should clarify the truth to them. She said it's better not to clarify the truth to those who walk directly toward you, or they will strongly dislike it. She always reminds me not to talk too much, and time is limited; we should enter the major topic immediately. At a bus stop, we should talk fast, because people are in a hurry to leave whenever the bus comes. In a leisurely environment, like river banks and parks, we can explain things more thoroughly. I remember all her advice. With her help, I can clarify the truth too.

When I first learned to clarify the truth, I always felt eyes were watching me from behind. If practitioner B was with me, I would feel good, but without her, I was not sure. Later she would encourage me to talk by myself, and she would correct me afterward on my shortcomings and mistakes. I have had many exercises on truth clarifying, and have had to get rid of my attachment of relying on others. With practitioner B's help, I can clarify the truth face to face now. But still I feel myself far from B's experience and maturity. Practitioner B clarifies the truth well because she studies the Fa diligently. When she finishes Fa study with the group, she will study another one or two chapters herself at home. She reads informational materials at night. If reading is delayed, she will find time to remedy this. She never falls behind in doing the three things.

Once we went to a square to clarify the truth. We saw an intimate young couple on a bench. We first helped an old officer to quit the CCP near them. An older practitioner came in front of the young couple with his bicycle. He said hello. The two felt surprised, and asked what he wanted. The practitioner told them he had come to save them. Then he told them many truths, and the two both quit the CCP afterward and left. The elderly practitioner came and told me that our mission is to save sentient beings, nothing is more important than this. He said his wife was paralyzed and every morning, he cooks breakfast, help his wife to eat, and then comes out to clarify the truth. He studies the Fa with his wife every night. We think learning the Fa well is fundamental to doing everything well.

Fellow practitioners, let's do the three things well together and fulfill our vows. When Fa rectification ends, we can say without regret that we are Dafa disciples of the Fa rectification period and have done what we should do!
