Hi,

if you want to seriously practise Falun Dafa, I would not recommend joining the Zazen meditation group for reasons mentioned in Zhuan Falun, Lecture 3, "Practicing Only One Cultivation Way". However, you'll do as you see fit.

One of the most difficult things for many people (myself included) was fully grasping the idea of how important it is to study the books and lectures on a regular, preferably daily basis. I try to read one or two lectures of Zhuan Falun every day. It has a tangible effect on the mind, clears up the thoughts and keeps cultivation matters an essential part of one's everyday life. In old Buddhist and Daoist practices, the master taught his disciples every day. Attaining enlightenment is definitely hard, but even more so when ordinary society offers countless temptations and distractions. The cultivation energy can only grow as high as your moral character in relation to Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
