(Minghui.org) There was a change in my Fa study group due to the nationwide “Knocking on Doors” campaign (a campaign of police harassment to force Falun Dafa practitioners to renounce their belief) in September 2017. 

I was then introduced to a newly established Fa study group. When I joined the new group, I was very disappointed. There were four people in this group. Three of them were new Dafa practitioners, one of whom was blind. There was also a veteran Dafa practitioner. 

The experience sharing in this group was basically chatting like ordinary people, and the conversations were not on the Fa. I felt that the entire group was starting off on the wrong foot. 

After I took stock of the group, I just considered it as a transition period. I told them that I would only study the Fa with them for a short time.

Then, something unexpected happened in May 2018. One of the new practitioners in our group was reported and arrested when clarifying the truth face to face on the street. 

When we heard about this, all members in the Fa study group panicked and worried about whether the arrested practitioner would give our names under torture. To avoid losses, some suggested we should suspend our group Fa study and wait until the incident was over. 

I also hesitated and was not sure of the right thing to do. However, I forced myself to calm down and make the best choice based on the Fa. 

I thought about it for the entire afternoon and shared with fellow practitioners. We agreed that we are one body, and we should try our best to maintain our group Fa study. 

We should not stop the group Fa study just because one practitioner was arrested. Regarding safety, if we let go of life and death, do what Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) asked, and truly cultivate based on the Fa, no one can harm us. 

So we decided to keep our group Fa study going, leaving it up to the individual to come or not. This way, we continued our group Fa study and the first storm we encountered slowly subsided. 

I used to look down on this group, but I changed my mind and decided to stay. In the blink of an eye, it was November 2020. 

Nobody could expect that a bigger test was coming. Another elderly practitioner was reported to the police by a customer when she was clarifying the truth in a supermarket. 

The police followed her directly to her home through surveillance, because it was the third time she had been tracked. Her home is only 100 meters from our Fa study site, and her home was monitored by various cameras. 

This time was much more serious than the previous time. Most practitioners in this group were too afraid, and they wanted to stop the group Fa study. However, I still thought that the more difficult it was, the more we should keep steady.

I thought, “When we let go of self, there will be a way out. We should not stop our group Fa study.”

Master said, “I said that just by remaining unmoved you could handle all situations.” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2005 Canada Fa Conference,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. V)

Three months passed, and that elderly practitioner overcame the most difficult time. This practitioner found the reason for her being persecuted by the old forces. 

Our Fa study group has gone through so many difficulties and is still active after five years. Each member of the group is doing the three things well and is following Master on the last stage of the cultivation path.
