(Clearwisdom.net)The 2006 Ukraine Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference commenced at 11 o'clock on May 28th. A practitioner read a congratulation message from the Founder of Falun Dafa, Master Li Hongzhi. Master Li said: "The Consummation of Fa-rectification Period Dafa Disciples is Dafa creating the Great Enlightened Beings of the new cosmos, so this makes your responsibilities that much greater". Practitioners met this greeting with warm applause and once again felt what great responsibilities and tasks they shoulder.

Many practitioners used this precious chance to share their experiences. The first practitioner discussed the importance of doing well the three things that practitioners must do at this time - studying the principles of Falun Dafa, sending righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth about Dafa and the persecution in China. After that followed an experience about the necessity of getting rid of jealousy in process of cultivation. Jealousy is strongly implanted in the people of the former republics of the Soviet Union. It often surfaces in such notions as "egalitarianism" which in turn leads to conflicts. He specified that getting rid of jealousy is stepping out of the selfishness of the old Universe.

The next disciple talked about the importance of xinxing [mind or heart nature] improvement and the importance of the removal of the attachment to loss and gain. A young practitioner shared the experience of being in the army. He started to practice Falun Gong before he had gone to serve in army. In the beginning it was difficult, but through clarifying the truth he could change the environment and received understanding and support from his commanders and other soldiers and he even was allowed to take part in activities at the Chinese Embassy in Kiev. During the time of his service in the army he always felt the compassionate care of our Teacher and could create in this place a good environment for doing well the three things that Dafa practitioners should do.

Other practitioners shared about getting rid of the attachment to comfort; the importance of getting rid of the attachment to self which is a basic feature of the old universe.

A practitioner from Russia shared his understanding about the importance of sharing understandings among practitioners. He talked about the importance of reading the Falun Dafa websites articles which help us improve as one body and follow the progress of Fa-rectification. Other practitioners shared how they improved through conflicts.

At 3:30 pm the official part of the conference ended.
