(Minghui.org) The Taipei Ten Districts Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference was held on December 11, 2022 in the auditorium of the Banqiao District Office in New Taipei City. The conference was held for half a day, and many practitioners shared their experience in cultivation.
Taipei Ten Districts Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference
A practitioner shares his cultivation experience
The first speaker, Zhengxiang, said that his daughter, not a practitioner, wanted to have her teeth treated and repaired, as she wanted to be better looking. He said why bother to fix her teeth since he didn’t see any problem with them. But, his daughter was not happy about what he said. Another time, his grandson, not a practitioner, caught a cold. His daughter asked her son to see a doctor. Zhengxiang commented that it was just a minor cold, why bother going to the doctor? His daughter was not happy to hear that.
Zhengxiang said he once read a sharing article on the Minghui website: Digging Out the Roots of My Modern Notions and Behavior amidst Family Conflicts. A practitioner shared in the article that she was not much concerned when her husband hurt his leg. When she looked within, she found the gap between her and a traditional wife, and found herself to be indifferent. Zhengxiang found that he had similar issues with his family.
Zhengxiang is diligent in studying the Fa. He often thought that no one should interfere with him when he read the Fa, as this was his time for Fa study. Recently he remembered a cultivation story he had read sometime ago. In the story, a daughter-in-law often recited Buddhist scriptures at home. Her mother-in-law tried not to disturb her when she saw her chanting. If the mother-in-law had to do something, the daughter-in-law would scold her, “Don’t disturb me, I am chanting Buddhist scriptures!”
The Buddha came in the end. The daughter-in-law was very happy, thinking that the Buddha came to pick her up. But the Buddha said, “I am here to pick up your mother-in-law.”
When Zhengxiang looked within, he found that he was a little like that daughter-in-law, with the thought that no one should disturb him. He thought that was also an attachment to selfishness. He thought that he needed to change his mindset, and think more of the needs of others before thinking of his own needs.
Another practitioner named Peirong shared that she was sometimes complacent about her cultivation state. She saw that the performers from the Shen Yun Company talked about how “the art is endless.” They are already the world’s top Chinese classical dancers, but they are all humble and kind to others. When Peirong saw them, she felt that she had nothing to be complacent about.
Peirong also said that during the sharing among practitioners who call China to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa, she often heard that some Chinese people received repeated calls which advise them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Some practitioners suggested that we should do better when checking phone numbers. Some said that it was not accidental for a sentient being to receive a phone call because some people do not thoroughly understand the facts about Falun Dafa and persecution, some do not know why one should recite “Falun Dafa is Good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good,” and some want to learn the exercises. Peirong realized that she should just use righteous thoughts to face various situations, and clarify the truth more clearly.
Another practitioner Xichang shared his recent difficulty when his family member injured himself, but recovered more quickly than expected due to Falun Dafa.
The conference ended successfully after all of the practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts at 12:10 p.m. The practitioners helped clean the venue, and left for home with a lot of inspiration from each other’s sharing.
