(Minghui.org) The Taiwan Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference was held at the Heping Basketball Gymnasium on October 20, 2024. More than six thousand Falun Dafa practitioners attended the conference and nineteen practitioners talked about their cultivation experiences on stage. The practitioners who attended the conference said it gave them a chance to compare the differences between themselves and fellow practitioners, and helped them improve their cultivation by learning from one another.
Three Falun Dafa practitioners who work in the education field said that the tribulations they face vary due to the different environments they are in. However, as long as cultivators remember the Fa principles, cultivate their xinxing and look within whenever they meet with problems, there is no tribulation that we cannot overcome.
Breakthrough in a Long-Term Research Obstacle
Professor Ke Zheng Hao, who works at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology’s Automatic Control Research Institute, said that cultivators need to study the Fa and rectify themselves based on the Fa every day. In this way, we will not deviate in our path of cultivation. People who study physics know that the lab equipment needs to be calibrated and maintained so that it can work properly. Practitioners understand that cultivation is a serious matter. The path is very narrow and we cannot deviate from it even by a bit. Therefore, we should all the more abide by the Fa principles to correct our speech and behavior.
He described how he improved even though he knew how difficult it is to design backdrops. A decade ago there were no online tutorials, so it was really difficult for a person like him, who only knew how to do two dimensional designs, to design three dimensional animations. Not only did he need to learn how to make a horse run, he also needed to understand the bone structure of a horse, which means that he also needed to gain knowledge from other fields such as physiology, anatomy, etc. His job was supposed to be completed by a team, but he had to complete it all by himself. In addition, he faced prolonged periods of financial stress, loneliness, etc.
When he persisted, Master encouraged him in the form of a dream in which he saw himself in a heavenly world. In the end, he was invited by the television station to create backdrops.
This practitioner’s sharing struck a chord with professor Ke because he also went through a similar difficult period. He persisted and did not give up before he finally met his objectives. He said the most important element that aided his success was his cultivation in Dafa. With Master’s empowerment and unlocking his wisdom, he was able to survive the loneliness. That single research project went on for twenty years. To succeed in such a difficult task would be nearly impossible for non-cultivators.
Professor Ke Zheng Hao
Professor Ke invented the GLS Divine Light Chip Spectrometer, that was officially introduced at the International Semiconductor Show in September 2024. The unique invention attracted much attention. Twenty years ago, many scientists were using spectrometers. However, the equipment that was used at that time, such as the thousand five hundred square centimeter printer, was inconvenient to use. Professor Ke started his research in 2002 and came out with this invention in 2018. Four years later, he turned the chip spectrometer into a mobile handheld device that can be used to do the checking.
This was an important invention, as it enables medical data testing of triglycerides, cholesterol, and others to be centralized, and it can be used in environmental checks such as those for water pollution and pesticides.
When Professor Ke was five years into his research, he was studying for his PhD in the United States. His supervising professor, Janos Kirz, was invited by the National Science Board to do research guidance in Taiwan, and Professor Ke asked him if his research was feasible. Professor Kirz replied that similar research in Germany and Japan had failed, so achieving success would be very difficult. Professor Ke did not give up and ultimately succeeded.
Professor Ke said that he owed his success to his cultivation in Dafa. Having cultivated for twenty years, every time when he faced important hurdles in his research, inspirations came when he meditated. It is as though divine beings were helping him. Professor Ke is thankful to Master for his benevolent care and protection, and said that no words can express his gratitude.
Relationship Tests Are Hard to Overcome
Ms. Hong Yuying
Ms. Hong Yuying, a primary school teacher, said that practitioners’ tribulations aren’t easy because the path in returning to our original true selves is a process in which we get rid of our attachments. The hardship in giving up our attachments to fame, gain and emotion may be hard to understand.
Ms. Hong was impressed by Ms. Wu’s sharing. Going through relationship tribulations is hard but crucial in how the cultivator handles these tribulations, and whether they can think and share based on the Fa. Ms. Wu discovered that her husband was having an affair. She could not accept it and felt so hurt and angry that she wanted to take the matter to court. She reminded herself that she is a cultivator and should be benevolent and tolerant.
Ms. Wu discovered that her husband took a copy of Zhuan Falun when he left the house. She felt that he came to obtain the Fa and she thanked Master for letting her understand this.
“We need to make sure that our every feeling and thought is based on the Fa and our minds must be in a calm state.” Ms. Hong Yuying said that this is what moved and benefited her the most. She thanked Master for his teachings and the opportunity to hear fellow practitioners’ experiences.
Returning to the Path of Cultivation
Gu Jiaci
Gu Jiaci said that some young practitioners’ experiences are similar to hers. She started practicing with her mother when she was six years old. During summer breaks, her mother brought her brother and her to a spot in front of the Hsinchu County Government building to do the exercises. They also studied the Fa. Ms. Gu just followed her mother, and never really thought about how important studying the Fa and doing the exercises were.
When she started attending secondary school, she was overwhelmed and her mother suggested that she study the Fa. To her, studying the Fa was a way to relax, find her life goals and be motivated. When she attended a university in Kaoshiung, her mother was not there to remind her, and she gradually drifted away from cultivation. It was only after she graduated from university and went back to teach in her hometown that she resumed cultivating.
Ms. Gu said that many young practitioners follow the adults to cultivate, and thus they obtained the Fa early. They do not cherish the opportunity and some stopped practicing.
When she was in high school and university, she experienced the remarkable power of Dafa twice. One year, her period did not come for a long time, and visits to traditional and western doctors did not help. After she studied the Fa and practiced the exercises, her period resumed.
Now when she recalls the past, Ms. Gu feels that she was young and ignorant and she wasted a lot of time. She must cherish this opportunity and cultivate diligently.
Another sharing that inspired Ms. Gu was by a practitioner who said that he attended three high schools. As he suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder, there was a period of time when he did not interact with people, and his family was concerned. One day his mother’s coworker suggested that he practice Falun Dafa. Through studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, his condition was resolved without any medications, and he was admitted to the Niaosong High School Music Department for his high school studies.
Ms. Gu said that she teaches at a special needs secondary school. When she faces students who have mental and physical difficulties, apart from talking to them and understanding their situations, she sometimes has trouble helping them. After listening to this practitioner’s sharing, she realized that cultivating in Dafa can help these students with special needs to regain a healthy state. This is really great and she wondered why she hadn’t thought of it before.
Many practitioners said that listening to others’ cultivation experiences greatly benefited them. They thank Master for his guidance from the bottom of their hearts and thank practitioners for their sharing. Everyone hopes that they and fellow practitioners can cultivate diligently.
