(Minghui.org) The China Fahui held on Minghui every year provides an opportunity for practitioners around the world to evaluate their cultivation states with practitioners in China, so we can all improve. From November 9 to December 3, 2025, the Minghui website held the 22nd China Fa Conference and published over 90 articles written by practitioners in China who described cultivation experiences.
Several practitioners in the U.S. shared their thoughts after reading the articles. Some said the articles were “Pure, clean, simple, and unpretentious.” Others said practicing cultivation outside China made them feel, “How magnificent Dafa and Master is,” and “How fortunate we are to be part of a group of people who practice cultivation.”
Using Knowledge of the Law to Clarify the Truth
In several articles published on the China Fa Conference this year, practitioners mentioned familiarizing themselves with China’s laws and using them to clarify the truth, when they were illegally arrested, when their superiors made things difficult at work, or friends, relatives who don’t understand why they continue to practice cultivation. These practitioners used their knowledge of the law to advise people not to help the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecute practitioners and even faced staff in the public security bureau, the procuratorate, and court, defended themselves, and helped to rescue other practitioners.
A practitioner in the mid-U.S. said after reading the article “Using the Law to Oppose the Persecution,” “We should equip ourselves with everyday persons' skills and knowledge that are useful in clarifying the truth, as such thinking is correct. I recall Master encouraged us on many occasions to gain more knowledge. At that time, I did not understand the deeper meaning behind this. As a result, I lack the skills many projects require, and I have difficulty clarifying the truth to people. I will try to learn more ordinary people’s skills that are useful in projects.”
Ms. Gan, another practitioner in the mid-U.S., said, “I’m encouraged by the practitioner’s experiences in ‘Using the Law to Oppose the Persecution’. I have a stronger wish to tell people about the persecution in China face-to-face. I’m determined to work hard and overcome my bottleneck in explaining things in Chinese and English.”
Ms. Song from Michigan said, “The author in ‘Using the Law to Oppose the Persecution’ does not work in the legal system, yet he studied law before practicing cultivation and subsequently used his knowledge to oppose the persecution and save people. Through clarifying the truth widely to government departments in the public security bureau, procuratorate, and court, he succeeded in reducing losses for practitioners and projects. What he did in such a dangerous environment is indeed admirable. Especially his thoughts at the end were well summarized and struck a chord with me, that cultivation is first, and there is nothing to show off.
“I remind myself, don’t have any zealotry or the urge to show off just because I have some capabilities. I often think of what the author said while working on Dafa projects, especially when things seem rather smooth.”
Changing Oneself
The article “Seeking Redress for My Imprisoned Husband and Clarifying the Truth About the Persecution” resonated with many practitioners. Ms. Jia from Michigan said, “I am moved by how practitioners in China strike out a path in validating the Fa amid such difficult circumstances. I hope I too can be like them from now on, changing myself solidly in my own environment, acting according to the requirements of the Fa and walk well on my cultivation path.”
Jeff, a practitioner from New York, said, “This sharing was especially moving. The writer said that through approaching prisons, police stations, provincial governments, courts, police stations, etc, telling people in these workplaces the facts about the persecution face-to-face, my biggest takeaway from this sharing is don’t be scared when the other party appears ominous. We must truly be able to put ourselves in the position of a god, connect with a god’s powerful abilities, deter the evil, and show the dignified side of Dafa. Compassion can save those with a conscience, dignify, and work on people whose consciences are completely buried.
“We know from the Fa that most practitioners originally are kings from different high levels. They signed a vow to follow Master to assist in the Fa rectification. Master pushed us to the position we came from; our divine side already has high wisdom and abilities. As long as we have faith and use it, we will manifest great power for sure. Not only can we deter the evil and save people, but we can also make it even safer for practitioners in such a difficult environment and reduce the persecution by the evil.
“Although we are outside China and not in the severe environment under the CCP, our cultivation requirements are the same. We still need to take ‘doing the three things’ seriously, be diligent, and practice cultivation with the heart we had when we first began. If we slack off just a bit and face problems with human notions, it may lead to losses that cannot be reversed. We cannot save people, or we may be interfered with by sickness karma.”
Letting Go of Attachment to Comfort, Overcoming Difficulties in Clarifying the Truth
Mr. Lǚ from Atlanta said after reading, “Fulfilling My Mission and Sharing Facts About Dafa While Incarcerated,” “The greatest difference between us and practitioners in China is the danger of being detained illegally. When this elderly practitioner narrated his experience of being imprisoned, he did not mention the prison guards’ violence and tyranny. Instead, his sharing focused on how he created a peaceful atmosphere through righteous thoughts and actions. Some convicts actually did the exercises with him, and he successfully helped more than 30 people quit the CCP. All the inmates in the prison cell applauded him when he sang the song ‘Falun Dafa Is Good’. This goes to show how a disciple who has practiced cultivation solidly is able to turn an evil environment around with righteous thoughts. As practitioners in the U.S., when we encounter obstacles in projects, can we maintain strong righteous thoughts and break through these hardships?”
Mr. Lǚ also shared his thoughts after reading “From Impossible to Possible: My Path to Technical Support. “Another special problem faced by practitioners in China is continuing to operate materials production sites with limited resources and manpower. This practitioner started learning from scratch and took on the responsibility of equipment maintenance in his local area. He did not shirk responsibility, he was not afraid of hardship, and he sent righteous thoughts and studied the Fa to solve problems. He regarded tests in technical skills as opportunities to improve in cultivation. All these serve as a reminder to us overseas practitioners not to forget to cultivate ourselves while we work on projects.”
In many articles, practitioners in China spoke of how they eliminated fear, sent righteous thoughts, and told people the facts about the persecution. What they said when they explained things inspired practitioners in the U.S.
Ms. Gan from the mid-U.S. said, “Practitioners in the articles, ‘Even the Police Station Is Our Cultivation Environment’ and ‘Stories of Installing New Tang Dynasty Satellite TV’ were able to explain to people the evil nature of the CCP in a refined, powerful way. Their approach is very suitable for clarifying the truth to people in a short period of time.
“The writer in ‘Talking to People in My Area About Falun Dafa,’ the writer emphasized the importance of righteous thoughts in eliminating fear. Besides, the power of compassion is huge. I totally agree and understand these two points. At the same time, I realized that when whatever state one cultivates to, he or she will have the state of that level. The practitioner’s courage and righteous thoughts are a manifestation of her cultivation state; only those who have reached a certain level through solid cultivation can have such action.”
Ms. Song from Michigan said, “I’m moved by the 85-year-old former high official’s sharing in ‘From a High Official to a Compassionate Practitioner’. He did not know anything when he first came to the material production site and simply did things as ‘the little monk’. He then moved on to clarifying the truth using a mobile phone and helped 10,000 people to quit the CCP in 2 years. In 2018, he began to travel to surrounding towns riding a bicycle and continues to clarify the truth to people face-to-face this way today. This elderly practitioner showed how he solidly practiced cultivation and how diligent he is.
“I feel ashamed in comparison. I previously wasted a lot of precious time because I sought comfort. I must learn from practitioners in China and not slack off. As this elderly practitioner said, ‘We must listen to Master, cherish every way Master bestowed on us, seize every opportunity to fulfill our vows and save sentient beings in our kingdom.’ I too want to have this sense of urgency in saving people and return to the state I had when I first began practicing. I must persist in studying the Fa, doing the exercises, and sending righteous thoughts in the relaxed environment we have overseas, and do the three things well.”
