The First Fa Conference in Latin America Held in Mexico City (Photos)

Aug. 16, 2002

(Clearwisdom.net) On August 10, the first Mexico Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference was held in Mexico City. Practitioners from many countries came to attend this solemn Fa conference together. This was the first Fa conference held in Latin America. This area is considered the cultural and economic center of Mexico, which made this an especially good place for the Fa Conference.

Before the Fa conference, practitioners held a series of activities for one week. Taiwanese practitioners who arrived in advance went out everyday to introduce Dafa and clarify the truth about Dafa to Mexican and local Chinese people. The Mexican people's warm reception of Dafa encouraged all of the practitioners. In each evening, we studied the Fa and shared experiences with practitioners in Mexico.

During the Fa conference, many practitioners from both Mexico and other areas shared their cultivation experiences. Falun Dafa was first introduced to Mexico in November 2001. We were very touched upon seeing that Dafa has been so deeply planted into the Mexican people's hearts in such a short period of time. Many pure and kind-hearted Mexican people have had their lives completely changed through cultivating Dafa.

Many people who have not started practicing Dafa yet also attended the conference. Some of them came with their friends, some with their families. A photo exhibition was also held near the conference hall, which allowed people to view the peaceful journey of Falun Dafa. These photos also introduced to people how Falun Dafa was widely spread in the world in such a short period of time.

The Fa conference was held in a peaceful atmosphere. Of course, we also found that there were many things we needed to improve on in organizing the Fa conference. Some practitioners from the U.S. who had no experience in hosting Fa conferences organized this one. But the success of the conference showed that we are able to do things well through a harmonious unity with everyone doing his or her part of the work well. This provided an excellent cultivation opportunity for each of us.

We are very grateful for Teacher's giving us this opportunity, and we will do even better in the future.
