[PureInsight.org] I would like to share my thoughts about Fa-study. Lately I read some articles from practitioners on the Minghui.net about the importance of Fa-study and how to study the Fa. First I thought it didn't concern me but then every time when I read an article it was about Fa-study although I didn't pick them in particular. They just came to me. So I asked myself why?
I know that sometimes I am not very diligent in studying the Fa, but that was not what Master wanted to tell me. So I started to watch myself while I was studying the Fa, and I found out that it was the way I studied the Fa. I realized that I just galloped through the book, for example, I just read the beginning of the words and then I thought I knew already, I didn't read the words with my full attention and consciousness. I didn't see and understand the importance of doing that. I thought it was already enough to know the superficial meaning of a word. But I forgot that this was the Fa, the great Fa of the cosmos, and I should be respectful towards It. Because Master, the many Faluns and the Gods are behind every single word. How could I study the Fa when I don't give myself to it? How could I understand the Fa and raise my xinxing when I am not aware of what I am reading there? How could the Buddhas, Daos and Gods behind each word reveal the truth of another level, when my main consciousness is not strong? That showed me that not just the superficial meaning is important, but also every single word in this Fa is the Fa, which I, as a Dafa disciple, should respect.
Now, I understand much better what studying the Fa truly means, and I try my best always to focus myself on the Fa and when I again just fly over a word, I go back and read it again. By doing this, I can see how many different meanings on different levels a word can have, and I can truly see my own path I have to go on, because the Fa and Master are talking directly to me. The only thing I still have to improve in is to act according to what I understand.
Thank you Master for giving me this opportunity to share my understanding and thank you practitioners for listening.
