Set a Fixed Time for Fa Study and Make It a Priority

March 27, 2009

(Clearwisdom.net) As a Dafa practitioner, studying the Fa well is the key to one's improvement. It is a prerequisite for sending righteous thoughts and for clarifying the truth well. I would like to suggest that all practitioners set a fixed time for Fa study, as we have done for practicing the exercises. For people who work, you can choose a time between 7:10 p.m. and 8:50 p.m. For people who don't work, you can read some time between 7:10 to 8:50 a.m. If we persist in doing this, we will achieve very good results.

I would like to share with fellow practitioners how I spend my day.

I get up at 3:43 a.m. and start practicing the exercises at 3:50 a.m. At 5:55 a.m., I clear my mind for sending righteous thoughts from 6:00 to 6:10. Then I prepare breakfast for my family and take my child to school. At 7:00 a.m., I send righteous thoughts before doing some housework. At 8:00 a.m., I send righteous thoughts, and then listen to Teacher's Fa lectures on my way to work. I work in sales and marketing, and clarify the truth to everyone I meet through my job. I also distribute truth-clarification materials at any time and location as practicable. At 12:00 noon I send forth righteous thoughts, and then study and memorize the Fa during my lunch break. In the afternoon, I use every free moment to memorize the Fa, as long as it doesn't interfere with my work. This routine is already my habit.

In general, I get home before 5:55 p.m. After sending righteous thoughts I cook dinner. Usually, I finish the housework before 7:00 p.m., at which time I send righteous thoughts again. At 7:10 p.m. sharp, I begin studying the Fa. I usually finish one lecture by approximately 8:30 p.m. I then go out to make or distribute truth materials. I go to bed at 12:10 a.m. after sending righteous thoughts.

On days that I don't go to work, I start studying the Fa at 7:10 a.m., stopping only to send forth righteous thoughts at 8:00 a.m., and by approximately 8:30, I have read one lecture. I then go out to clarify truth, make truth materials or help other practitioners with some technical issues. The rest of my day I follow the same schedule as I do on my work days.

I am grateful for Teacher's arrangement. After following this schedule for several years, I often hear Teacher's voice when I study the Fa, as if Teacher is there lecturing us. Sometimes I will see Teacher as he appears in the Fa lecture videos. Whether I study alone or in a group, as long as my heart is calm, I have such experiences. Therefore, I am rarely affected by the environment or others.

I know that many practitioners are doing very well. Every practitioner is in his own state. The above is only my shallow understanding. Please point out anything inappropriate.
