Solution 1
Let be the intersection of segments and and the intersection of and (Fig. 2). Inscribed angles give

Fig. 2
that is , hence
Line FK is therefore an altitude of the triangle AEF. Similarly we prove that EL is its altitude too, thus the intersection of FK and EL is the orthocenter of triangle AEF and it lies on its third altitude AD too.
Solution 2
Let M be the second intersection of ray and the circumcircle of triangle (Fig. 2). Since is the bisector of angle , the angles and inscribed in are equal and therefore the chords and are also equal. Furthermore, the corresponding inscribed angles and are equal too. The intersection of and is thus the reflection of about . The same argument applies to the intersection of and , therefore the original intersections are identical.
