(Minghui.org) The Taiwan Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference in Taipei Heping Basketball Gymnasium on October 29, 2024, hosted over 6,000 practitioners from all walks of life. Many said they were greatly encouraged by listening to other practitioners’ cultivation experiences. They said they gained a lot from the conference and were inspired to cultivate diligently.

Director of a Consulting Firm: Cultivating Kindness and Forbearance

Yinghua Chen, the director of a consulting firm, was very impressed by the sharing of a 3D animator. She said, “This practitioner didn’t know anything about 3D technology but managed to create a 3D animation. Some felt his effort was not up to standard and he was ridiculed. So he started all over again and had many tribulations. He had no income and people did not understand him.”

She said, “Without the guidance of Master’s Fa, it’s nearly impossible to overcome such difficulties. But no matter the difficulties, this practitioner persevered. He studied the Fa and rectified himself. He completed the impossible job and even taught other people how to do 3D. Falun Dafa practitioners are remarkable.”

In her job, Yinghua is strict and sometimes impatient and that puts pressure on her employees. She plans to cultivate herself to be more compassionate. What other practitioners shared encouraged her to be genuinely kind.

She said, “This practitioner has a strong will as he has the Fa in his heart. Despite the tremendous setback and other people’s ridicule, he didn’t give up. Instead, he demonstrated his kindness and forbearance. I should learn from him and have compassion.”

She was also encouraged when another practitioner talked about memorizing the Fa. She said, “I’m now memorizing the Fa. If I can’t recite a paragraph after spending some time on it, I look within to see where I fall short and need to improve. I’ve encountered some difficulties in memorizing the Fa but see it as a good cultivation opportunity. Studying the Fa well is not easy. If we can really study the Fa well and immerse ourselves in the Fa, there won’t be any problems even when we meet with difficulties.”

Inspired to Cultivate As If I’d Just Started

Suxing, a dentist from Yilan County, owns several dental clinics. She has practiced Falun Dafa for 20 years. She was moved by the practitioners’ perseverance and diligence in cultivation and felt inspired to cultivate as diligently as when she just started. She understood that cultivation is not easy after she listened to the practitioners’ sharing.

Suxing said, “One practitioner lost his child. Another practitioner’s husband had an affair. I could feel their pain. But they came through it and persevered in cultivation and now cultivate even more diligently. Their stories urge me to cultivate as steadfastly as when I just started. I’ve become lazy and want to be comfortable, but their sharing encouraged me.”

She had many tribulations when she began practicing. She had to look after her children and family on top of working in the clinics. But she was determined to cultivate diligently. She said, “It was hard and I only slept 4 or 5 hours a night. But no matter what, I cultivated diligently. Now I have more time to look after my children and family. But sometimes I overdo it and waste time. I should be strict with myself and always remind myself to cultivate diligently.”

Suxing said she benefits a lot every time she attends a Fa conference, because it gives her an opportunity to discuss cultivation experiences with practitioners from all over Taiwan. She makes sure that she attends the Fa conference every year no matter what. She said, “One practitioner from Taitung County shared her experience of promoting Shen Yun. They hired several busses and brought audience members from Taitung to Kaohsiung to watch Shen Yun. This showed me the difference between them and me.”

She was also impressed by the sharing of several young practitioners. She said, “Young practitioners were affected by society as they grew up. Master arranged opportunities for them to see through the illusions and return to cultivation. It wasn’t easy for them. Their stories encourage me to help those practitioners who momentarily stepped off the cultivation path.”

Only by Studying the Fa Well Can We Validate the Fa

Dashu Wu, a well-known corporate training instructor, was inspired by the new practitioners’ sharing. He said, “One practitioner understood that he obtained the Fa late so he read all the Dafa books. He said he realized the experiences he had before he obtained the Fa helped him understand the meaning of cultivation.”

He was also impressed by how a practitioner distributed newspapers early in the morning. He said, “We have many reasons not to do things. But when you do something, you realize that everything is arranged perfectly. For example, when you get up early, you can see the beautiful sunrise. You can go to the practice site to do the exercises after you finish distributing newspapers. You make full use of your time.

“We must study the Fa well. If not, we are just everyday people doing everyday things. Only by studying the Fa well can practitioners validate the Fa, be empowered by the Fa, and do the things efficiently.”

Wu said he would put more effort into his work and do better planning his lectures to give his audience good information.

Writer: Getting Out of One’s Comfort Zone

Ms. Guo, who is a writer, lives in Japan. Moved by the 3D animator’s sharing, she said, “This practitioner had a lot of difficulties learning 3D technology, but he was empowered by the Fa and never gave up. He cultivates diligently, charges forward, and gets out of his comfort zone. He inspires me.”

She said, “Facing a new project, I will seek a breakthrough instead of doing nothing. I shouldn’t seek comfort. I must get out of my comfort zone and move forward despite difficulties.”
