Experience sharing

Ma Lin told about her experiences clarifying the truth to Chinese people on the phone. She really appreciates the collaborations among fellow practitioners. No matter what kind of help she needs, no matter when she needs it, there are always practitioners willing to help. She said, “The process of calling Chinese people is a good cultivation opportunity. I have gotten rid of lots of attachments.”

Christine shared her experiences of getting rid of the attachment to qing (sentimentality.) She realized that one cannot develop benevolence if he or she still has a strong attachment to qing.

Anja told about her experiences promoting Shen Yun. She felt comfortable with telling people about the show, but she felt awkward when she needed to actually sell tickets. Because of this notion, she missed some chances to sell tickets. She later realized that selling tickets is saving people, and selling is a normal commercial behavior, so she should not feel shy.

Eva-Marie's mother was not a practitioner, but she liked Shen Yun and saw it several times. When she passed away, one of Eva-Marie's sisters saw that the sky above her mother's bed opened and angels took her mother away, just like the scene in a Shen Yun dance program. At her funeral, Eva-Marie talked about how her mother had liked Shen Yun and had asked her children to recall Shen Yun programs with her before she passed away.

Karsten, a police officer, coordinates the European Divine Land Marching Band. He talked about how he put down his own notions, humbly accepted criticism, and learned to think of others and collaborate with others.

Nancy, an elementary school teacher, introduced Falun Gong to the parents of 500 students. She also taught students the exercises. Since many teachers and parents are interested in learning, Nancy set up an exercise site at school. During this process, she put down her attachments to fear and being shy.

Petra sells advertisements for the Epoch Times. She told how she realized that, once she had solid belief and righteous thoughts, she would have wisdom and find the right customers.

Rainer is the owner of a publishing house. He publishes Falun Dafa books, audios, and videos in German. He realized that he was competitive and always argued with everyday people. Although his motivation was to draw other people's attention so that he could talk about Falun Gong, he realized that it was a human notion that he needed to get rid off. Rainer said that, once he put down the attachment, he became much more efficient in clarifying the truth.
