Many assistants in different regions have a very high-level understanding of Dafa. They are able to set a good example with their conduct and do a good job organizing their practice groups. Yet there are also some assistants who have not done so well, and this mainly manifests in their methods of work. For instance, in order to make the practitioners listen to them and to make it easier to carry out their work, some assistants have done their work by issuing orders—this is not permitted. Learning the Fa should be voluntary. If a practitioner does not want to do so from the bottom of his heart, no problem can be solved. Instead, conflicts may arise. If this is not corrected, conflicts will intensify, thus severely undermining people’s learning the Fa.

Even more serious, some assistants, in order to make practitioners believe and obey them, often circulate some hearsay or something sensational to increase their prestige, or they do unique things to show off. All of these are not allowed. Our assistants serve others on a voluntary basis; they are not the master, nor should they have such attachments.

Then how can we do the assistant job well? First off, you should treat yourself as one of the practitioners instead of considering yourself someone above them. If there is something that you do not know in your work, you should humbly discuss it with others. If you have done something wrong, you should sincerely tell the practitioners, "I, too, am a practitioner just as you are, so it’s inevitable that there be mistakes in my work. Now that I have made a mistake, let’s do what is right." With the sincerity to have all practitioners collaborate to get things done, what results will you find? No one will say that you are good for nothing. Instead, they will think that you have learned the Fa well and are open-minded. In fact, with Dafa here, everyone is studying it. With every move an assistant makes, whether good or not, the practitioners will measure it with Dafa and see it clearly. Once you have the intention of building yourself up, the practitioners will think that you have a xinxing problem. Therefore, only by being modest can you do things well. Your prestige is established based upon a good understanding of the Fa. How can a practitioner be free of mistakes?
