(Minghui.org) During the 2024 winter break, young Falun Dafa practitioners in Taiwan held a three day Fa study and cultivation experience sharing camp in Xiluo Mountain, Yunlin, from February 2 to 4. Practitioners from Taiwan and overseas talked about the beauty and purity of Dafa, how they were inspired to practice diligently, and how they understood their responsibilities and missions.

Young practitioners sent their heartfelt greetings to Master Li Hongzhi on February 4, 2024, and said, “We wish you a Happy New Year Master”

“Thank You Master for Protecting Me”

Zhaoru from Hsinchu began practicing with his parents when he was a child, but when he was in high school, he drifted farther and farther away from the Fa. He wasted a lot of time, and even delayed graduating from college.

While he was on his motorcycle four years ago, he was involved in a major accident. His brain was injured, his right thigh bone was broken and deformed, and he was unconscious.

Zhaoru said, “I am grateful to Master for giving me the opportunity to be reborn.”

During his stay in the intensive care unit, Zhaoru’s mother kept reciting in his ear, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She read the Fa to him and talked to him, but Zhaoru remained unconscious. His mother firmly believed in Dafa and believed that he would definitely wake up.

Zhaoru stayed in the intensive care ward for more than ten days. One day his mother read Master’s poem “Your Heart Should Know” in The Essentials of Diligent Progress II, “The Fa saves all lives with Master as guide.” Zhaoru said the next sentence, “He raised the sail and a hundred million followed.”

His mother was amazed. No matter how hard she tried to wake him up, Zhaoru didn’t respond. It turned out that his childhood memorization of the Fa was deeply rooted in his heart. Master’s Fa saved Zhaoru, and he woke up. His mother cried tears of joy and thanked Master. He was discharged from the intensive care unit ten days later.

Zhaoru quickly recovered, and he made miraculous progress every day. His relatives, friends, classmates, and teachers witnessed the miracle of Falun Dafa, and they all felt that it was amazing.

After he recovered, he regretted that he had wasted a lot of precious time in the past and he decided to start cultivating again. He said, “The second time I watched the movie 'Once We Were Divine,' I was deeply moved and I wept.”

Eliminating Attachments

Pei Ci from Yilan is a senior at the Department of Pharmacy at Tai Jen University in Pingtung. Having been born in a practitioner family and growing up in an environment of Dafa cultivation, she felt very fortunate to be able to study and communicate with fellow practitioners. This was the reason why she participated for the fifth time.

Pei Ci wishes Master a Happy New Year.

When she was in primary school, she excelled and was always praised by her teachers and peers. After she began attending high school, she was no longer a star and felt lost. She realized that this was an attachment and she tried to eliminate it. She no longer shows off or competes with others.

Pei Ci said it’s great for everyone to read the Fa in a group and discuss their cultivation experiences. She found that she was self-centered and didn’t like being ignored, which are also attachments. She found her selfishness, fear, and jealousy. She broke through the attachment to saving face and talked about her attachments. The bad substance disappeared in an instant, and her body felt light.

She thanked Master for arranging her cultivation path, “Every difficulty is the best arrangement and a test for me, and it is a path for us to improve in cultivation. I hope that I can be more diligent and take my cultivation more seriously. Thank you Master.”

The Power of Falun Dafa

Donglun from Croatia is studying Chinese at the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan. Before he began practicing, he was irritable, easily got nervous and angry, and suffered from bipolar disorder, drug addiction, alcoholism, and other vices. He says he was totally lost.

Donglun thanked Master for guiding him to learn Chinese. He wished Master a Happy New Year.

He was exhausted from his chaotic life, and he wanted to understand the purpose of life. So, he searched the Internet for information about the universe, religion, qigong, science, and found the Falun Dafa website. He felt very peaceful and calm. He said, “After reading Lun Yu in Zhuan Falun, I knew that this was the righteous Fa, and I have obtained the Fa! I was very happy. All the questions in my heart have been answered in Zhuan Falun.”

He finished reading Zhuan Falun in three days, and said, “I felt the rotation of the Falun in my abdomen.”

The biggest change in Donglun is that he used to have a bad temper. He was not good to his friends, and he had bipolar disorder. He often fought with his parents and grandmother, but said, “After I read Zhuan Falun, Master helped me by cleaning up the bad things, and I felt the power of Dafa. My parents, grandmother, and friends all saw my changes, and they all felt that Falun Dafa is so good. They all witnessed the power of Dafa.”

Donglun explained that he taught himself Chinese, “Master gave me wisdom. I quickly learned Chinese. I could understand the Chinese version of Zhuan Falun, and I could also speak Chinese to communicate with others.”

Participating in the camp in Taiwan for the first time, he said he felt Master’s blessing. His body and mind are now very relaxed and happy, and his heart is calm, peaceful and bright.

Resuming Cultivating

Meijing, who is in charge of brand marketing in department stores and serves as a marketing supervisor, practiced Dafa with her mother when she was a child. As the years passed, she strayed away from Dafa, but fortunately her sister reminded her to resume practicing.

Meijing wishes Master a Happy New Year.

In 2019, she downloaded Zhuan Falun from the Internet. Meijing said, “Returning to cultivation is the most fortunate thing for me, and I have gained a lot. When I encountered difficulties in my life, having Master and Dafa by my side made me feel secure. Dafa gives me a lot of strength.”

In terms of improving her temperament, she said, “In the past, one colleague always made trouble for me, and she also bothered me with small things. I found her very annoying. After I resumed practicing I saw my impatience and fighting mentality. After I adjusted myself I realized she’s a great coworker and a dedicated person. My bad attachment has also been removed.”

Meijing said she benefited a lot from participating in the activity, “I feel I’ve improved a lot. I hope to see my own shortcomings during the event, and make myself work harder.”

She sincerely wished Master a happy New Year. With tears in her eyes, she said, “The Fa-rectification's time is almost over. I’m coming back very slowly. I have lost a lot of time to cultivate, so I want to catch up. I thank Master for giving me the opportunity to wake up, and I must be more active and diligent in doing the three things to fulfill my vows.”

“A Clear Stream”

You Ling, the person in charge of the venue where the camp was held, praised the young practitioners, “They arranged everything well. The group staff came and prepared two days in advance, and everyone was very organized and self-disciplined. In addition to accommodations, other details such as transportation, food, drinks, etc., were arranged very well. I didn’t need to worry about anything.”

She added, “They are completely different from the people who usually book the venue, they are amazing—a clear stream in society.”
