At present, more and more people are learning Dafa, and the number is doubling on a weekly basis. Because the publishers’ book supply are inadequate, they cannot meet the demand. The books are thus unavailable in some regions or in the countryside. Some practitioners have asked me what to do with their handwritten copies of Dafa. Let me tell you that for the time being you can give the copies of Zhuan Falun or other scriptures you have handwritten during your study of Dafa to those who will go to the rural areas to spread the practice and the Fa; bringing them to farmers can, at the same time, lessen their economic burdens. Therefore, this requires that practitioners’ handwritten copies be legible so that farmers with limited education can understand them. Handwritten copies have the same power of the Fa as the printed books.
