(Minghui.org) The Falun Buddha Society in Singapore held its quarterly Nine-Day Class from June 10 to June 18, 2023. The nine-day class, which is free of charge, teaches people how to practice Falun Dafa. New practitioners who attended the nine-day class in June were of a variety of ages and included both local Singaporeans and people from China who could not practice Falun Dafa in China due to the harsh persecution environment. 

On the last day of the nine-day class, the new practitioners sat in a circle and shared some of the mental and physical changes they had experienced through attending the class, and their cultivation experiences.

Singaporean-Chinese Ms. Zhang said her classmate knows a Falun Dafa practitioner and the practitioner had told her classmate about Falun Dafa and the nine-day class. Ms. Zhang’s classmate could not attend the class this time around, but Ms. Zhang had the affinity to do so. 

She shared that she understood that being a true human being requires one to return to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. She said her body had undergone some changes through practicing the exercises. She had suffered from insomnia recently but after practicing the exercises, she was able to sleep very soundly. Ms. Zhang said that she also felt that her mind had become clearer.

Ms. Duan, who came from China two years ago, was moved to tears many times when she shared how she finally has the chance to practice Falun Dafa in an open and relaxed environment. She said that people were not allowed to practice Falun Dafa in China, and after coming to Singapore she really wanted to practice. She had asked a friend to help her download software from Minghui.org to her mobile phone. Due to her busy job, Ms. Duan usually gets home from work quite late. She said she is not diligent enough with her Fa study and practicing the exercises, and she will exercise more in the future.

Mr. Zhang, a Singaporean, learned about Falun Dafa from his father when he was young, but unfortunately did not continue practicing as he grew older. Mr. Zhang said that he had started returning to the practice recently. He has been studying the Fa and practicing the exercises himself, and when he saw the notice about the nine-day class he registered for it. Mr. Zhang said that his biggest gain from the class was being able to finish watching the nine lectures continuously and getting his exercise movements corrected with the help of veteran practitioners.

Ms. Angie is a Singaporean retiree. Her friend told her about Falun Dafa about two months ago. Although she had not known much about Falun Dafa, she finished reading Zhuan Falun once before coming to attend the nine-day class. Ms. Angie used to be a Buddhist. She said that she had seen many miraculous images over the past two months, including some colors and the opening of the celestial eye that Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, has mentioned in his lectures.

The husband of one of Ms. Angie’s friends fell ill recently, so Ms. Angie introduced Falun Dafa to her friend. The next day, she saw some form of Buddha light covering a large area. It was very bright and was like nothing she had ever seen before. She understood that perhaps it had occurred because she had the wish for her friend to understand and cultivate in Falun Dafa too. Ms. Angie said that while she was reading Zhuan Falun, she felt that she had an affinity of a thousand years with Falun Dafa. She also said that practicing Falun Dafa is a very different experience for her, because the religions and practices that she had come across in the past did not talk about doing exercises.

Mr. Chen, a Singaporean, said that after practicing Falun Dafa, he felt that Master had helped him improve his sinusitis, and he felt that he could breathe more easily now. Mr. Chen also said that when he was reading the Fa, he could feel his skin becoming a bit smoother, as though he really was being cleansed. While practicing the exercises, he felt very comfortable. His whole body was in a very relaxed state and the energy in his body was very full. It was as though the energy was replenishing his vitality and his mind and body did not feel tired at all. “That type of state is very, very comfortable, very, very miraculous. No words can describe my personal experience. I personally felt that whenever I read the Fa or come to this venue, I can feel a sense of grandeur and a sacred state,” Mr. Chen said.

Mr. Lu, from northeastern China, said that he had heard about Falun Dafa since he was young, but he was not able to practice it because of the environment in China. He has now lived in Singapore for a few years and had passed the Singapore Falun Buddha Society’s venue and read about the practice on Facebook, but only recently, after his work became less hectic, did he register for the nine-day class. He said that after practicing the exercises his mind and body felt very good. Mr. Lu said that he had suffered from insomnia in the past and tried many types of tea to solve the problem but none of them worked. However, after practicing the exercises, he could actually sleep through the night until the next morning.

The Falun Buddha Society of Singapore is located near the Kallang MRT Station. To help people learn the practice, the society holds free Falun Dafa Nine-Day Classes every three months. These classes have helped many people improve their physical health, find inner peace and improve their mental health as well. The nine-day class lasts from 7:15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. every night for nine consecutive days. The next class will be held from Saturday, September 16, to Sunday, September 24, 2023.
