I. Starting to Practice Falun Gong

I am the manager of a Taiwan construction company located on the island of Jingmen. Three years ago, we had to fill a new position to coordinate vendor relationships for certain projects. A Falun Gong practitioner from the main island of Taiwan applied for the position, and we invited him for an interview. Our discussion went well, and we decided that we could cooperate well together.

The practitioner wanted to introduce me to Falun Dafa. However, on arriving at the airport she discovered that she had not brought any Dafa materials with her. She immediately drove for two hours to pick up the materials from her home. Her actions deeply touched me. Nowadays there are very few people who would go out of their way to bring information to others. I read the book Zhuan Falun without putting it down and became determined to practice Dafa.

I had practiced another qigong for nine years, but it cannot hold a candle to Falun Dafa. The change in me from practicing Dafa was dramatic. Although other qigong schools also talk about cultivating the mind, I was never able to break away from my notions and habits, even after attending beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes. During those nine years I spent a great deal of money and achieved very little physical improvement. The practice of Falun Gong targets human notions and tells practitioners to become unselfish. The teachings advise that one should consider others first at all times. This is truly an advanced practice. It enables people to understand the meaning and value of life without charging us a penny. After cultivating for a period of time, all of my physical problems disappeared.

II. Improvements in Mind and Body

I am the oldest sibling in my family and am employed in the family business founded by my father. I have worked with my father from a very young age. I work from 6 a.m. until 7or 8 p.m. daily. I am responsible for many different projects. I drive more than 200 kilometers daily and visit all locations. To practice the five sets of exercises, I get up each day at 3:30 a.m., practice at the park, and then go to work. Although I sleep very little, I feel energetic and my complexion is healthy. Many people feel that Falun Gong is a good practice and want to learn it after knowing me.

My greatest challenge has been my heavy workload. But, I should also admit that I had a strong attachment to my career. I wanted to do well in everything, and I was afraid of being criticized. The heavy pressure at work made every day feel like a year. After I began on my cultivation path, all of my anxieties suddenly disappeared. I do not defend myself anymore when criticized. Instead, I look within and accept the criticism cheerfully. My attitude and tone has improved significantly and everything is harmonious. My parents are very surprised by the changes in me.

Practicing Falun Dafa has made my mind clearer and improved my work habits. During progress report meetings, I am able to understand the construction progress quickly, raise suitable questions, find solutions, and improve project progress and efficiency with great cost savings. My younger brother, who is in charge of projects and accounting, was very surprised. He also began to learn Dafa. I began to deal with everything in a straightforward manner. I am positive and diligent, and my communication skills have shown great improvement. My work performance overall improved greatly, making everyone look at me differently.

III. Helping Other Employees Start to Practice Falun Gong

When we were recruiting technicians, one man felt that Jingmen was too far away from Taiwan island, so he did not want to join the company. One day he called, telling me that he had come to Jingmen for a vacation and asked if there was a job opening. He had a tough time finding jobs because he was born with a muscle fatigue disease and had difficulty walking. I thought that this must be someone with a predestined relationship, so I hired him and introduced Dafa to his entire family. After cultivating for one year, the disease that no famous Western or Eastern doctor could cure was cured through practicing Dafa. He can walk easily now. He also let go of many bad habits. His child inherited the disease and was in weak health since birth. His child was ill often and had to be taken to a hospital. After cultivating with his parents for some time, the child no longer becomes ill. The entire family of four obtained Dafa. They are all very grateful to Teacher.

Employee A had an unpleasant disposition from a very young age. He tended to complain and get easily upset at work. After learning Dafa and attending many Fa studies and experience sharing meetings, his character changed drastically and he developed a positive attitude. The principles of "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" change a person's deeply rooted attachments. A face filled with worry changed to one with a smile. He also admits that after beginning to cultivate in Dafa, the pressure he felt at work lifted, and the worries in his heart disappeared. Now he lives a happy life.

Employee B studies the Fa daily. He has read Zhuan Falun more than 30 times. When he went back to Taiwan Island for a visit, his neighbors were very surprised because he looked younger and healthier. A friend, after witnessing his changes, also began to study the Fa and practice the exercises.

Employee C has only read Zhuan Falun, but has not decided to do the exercises yet. His skin problem was cured without having to take any medication. Everyone was amazed. Other employees and his younger brothers and sisters all witnessed significant in his complexion after cultivating in Dafa. His personality changed and he became more and more pleasant to be around. Many people have said that they wanted to learn Dafa because of him.

There is a new practitioner who is very busy. However, he still read the nine-day lecture and was amazed by what he read. He is very compassionate. Although he is very busy, he volunteers in the community. He reads stories about the Fa to soldiers who are detained in cells. The anti-social soldiers, after studying the Fa, understood the principles about how to live, deal with problems, and let go of bad notions. When he shares his experiences, people can feel that the principles of Dafa are very good, since they truly change the human heart and improve people's moral standards.

IV. Spreading the Fa and Clarifying the Truth

Soon after I obtained the Fa, I felt that Dafa was very good. I thought that it was a cultivation school that helps people leave behind great suffering. Everyone I meet I see as predestined, therefore I try my best to spread the truth about Dafa to them. One of my neighbors immigrated to Taiwan Island more than 20 years ago. After I found out that his daughter was in a coma, I immediately took a flight to visit her in the hospital. I decided to spread the Fa and clarify the truth to the entire family. Surprisingly, an amazing happened: his daughter woke up.

There are not many people on Jingmen that cultivate Falun Dafa, and we have not done nearly enough to spread the Fa and clarify the truth. Most people on Jingmen do not know the truth about Dafa. Some of them are even fooled by the lies from the Chinese Communist Party. I wanted to hold some activities in Jingmen so that more people could find out about Falun Dafa and start to cultivate. At the beginning I worried that I would be too busy at work and not find time. Then I worried that there were not enough practitioners and that we would not have enough funds to hold activities, since Dafa events are all paid for by practitioners. However, once I thought about my responsibilities, I began the process without hesitation.

Last December we held the "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" art and photo exhibition. While contracting shipping companies to bring the art pieces to Jiangmen, I clarified the truth to the shipping company staff. To my surprise, the company supported the event and offered half price for the shipment. My younger brother felt that the event was very meaningful and suggested that our company pay the remaining shipping cost. This solved the biggest money issue. The event was very well received. One government official respected what we had done very much. He was amazed that we were able to hold such an event with so few people. He said that if the event were to be organized by the government, it would be hard to imagine how much human effort, materials and money would go into it. One elementary school principle brought all of his students and teachers to the exhibition. After seeing the exhibition, he said, "The Communist Party is so inhuman!" He said he would educate children to learn "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" and become better people.

During this year's Lantern Day Festival, we decided to join the lantern show. I learned how to make flower lanterns and asked our local craftsman to make one. The lantern was beautiful and produced at a low cost. On the day of the lantern show, there were many people. The Falun rotating on the lantern attracted everyone. Many government officials took photos in front of our lantern.

We also organized other truth-clarifying events, such as parades supporting quitting the CCP, events to condemn the CCP's live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners, and truth clarification at tourist spots.

We went to experience sharing meetings on Taiwan Island and realized that we still have a long way to go in our understanding of the Fa when compared to other practitioners. The practitioners on Taiwan Island are very good at truth clarification. Jingmen is very close to Mainland China. Many Mainland tourists and Taiwanese businessmen visit Jingmen. It is the busiest location between Taiwan and Mainland China.

According to a report in the China Times, Changgeng Xiamen Hospital, which accommodates over 6,000 patients--more than half of all the patients in Xiamen--will begin to perform operations at the end of this year. They blatantly ranked organ transplants as their number one priority. Many organs that come from China are from Falun Gong practitioners. Being so close to China, we should be more active in clarifying the truth to stop the inhuman persecution.

When organizing events, there are many conflicts between practitioners and family members. However, as long as we let go of attachments, these conflicts disappear into thin air and all problems are solved. I am very surprised by my dramatic improvements during this process. My anxious personality has also gradually disappeared. Every event is a process of purifying myself.

Thank you, Teacher, for your compassionate guidance.
