(Minghui.org) Group Fa study is the cultivation form taught by Master. As Dafa disciples during Fa-rectification and when Dafa is persecuted, we should follow Master's teaching.

After the evil persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners began on July 20, 1999, our local cultivation environment was destroyed. Practitioners could no longer study the Fa, practice the exercises, or share cultivation experiences in a group. Practitioners were not allowed to cultivate on their own, either.

I went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa. I went to Tienanmen Square to validate Dafa, to restore the reputation of Master and Dafa, and to appeal for freedom of belief and the legal right to practice cultivation. I was persecuted.

After I was released from prison, I kept my faith in Master and Dafa. I followed Master's teachings. I followed compassionate Master step by step in the progress of Fa-rectification.

Because of Master's tremendous endurance in Fa-rectification and the sacrifice of many Dafa disciples to validate Dafa, practitioners as a whole have grown stronger and stronger. The evil factors in other dimensions have diminished. The evil Communist Party's persecution of Falun Dafa has run into a dead end. Our cultivation environment has become more relaxed. More and more truth-clarification material production sites have been established and spread everywhere.

However, I find that few practitioners in our region now attend group Fa study. Many practitioners, especially some male practitioners, seldom attend the group Fa study. They may be busy with their work. However, I believe the fundamental reason is that they don't pay enough attention to group Fa study.

Some practitioners don't attend the group Fa study anymore because they didn't feel significant improvement when attending. They thus think it's the same as studying the Fa at home.

My fellow practitioners, how can you negate Master's teaching based on your feelings? How trivial your feelings are compared to the great Fa! How can you tell the improvement of your xinxing based on how you feel?

It's not a small issue to not follow the Fa's requirements. You will compromise the effectiveness of your Fa study.

Dafa disciples practice cultivation in the society of everyday people and should accord with everyday people as much as possible. Our cultivation is different from the solitary cultivation done in history. We should cultivate ourselves based on the Fa and follow Master's teachings. We should become true Dafa disciples, walking the path to divinity while in ordinary society.

We should form one body. Together we are a form, but separated, we are only particles. Group Fa study helps us to melt ourselves into the Fa better.

Master said:

“Study Fa, obtain Fa, Compare in studying, compare in cultivating, Examine each and every deed, Accomplishing is cultivating.” (“Solid Cultivation” from Hong Yin)

Our experience sharing and searching inward help us to truly accomplish this. This way, we will enjoy greater improvement in cultivation, and only in this way can we validate Dafa, save sentient beings, fulfill our vows, and accomplish our solemn historical mission.

I hope the practitioners who don't pay enough attention to group Fa study or who seldom attend group Fa study will place greater importance on group Fa study and search inside for their attachments (e.g., fear, worry, laziness, contempt, or carelessness) that prevent them from attending group Fa study and following Master's teaching.
