(Minghui.org) The 22nd China Fahui (experience-sharing conference) hosted by Minghui.org is a significant annual event for Dafa practitioners worldwide. While enduring severe persecution by the Chinese regime, practitioners in China share how they uphold the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, cultivate diligently, and assist Master Li in Fa rectification. Their experiences demonstrate the selfless wisdom and compassion of Falun Dafa disciples.
Many practitioners in Taiwan were deeply inspired and greatly benefited from reading the China Fahui articles, while also discovering their own gaps and shortcomings. They vowed to cultivate with righteous thoughts and actions, to learn from and compare themselves with others, and to progress together diligently to live up to Master’s compassionate salvation.
Resolving to Correct Oneself
Ms. Lin, a veteran practitioner of over 20 years, shared her thoughts after reading a practitioner’s sharing titled “Courageously Telling People the Facts About Falun Dafa.” Ms. Lin described herself as an inarticulate person who usually hesitates to speak out. After reading how the author overcame her speech impediment and actively went out and shared facts about Dafa with people, Ms. Lin said the author’s selflessness and courage truly inspired her.
Ms. Lin said, “The practitioner was summoned to the police station because she’d filed a lawsuit against Jiang Zemin, who orchestrated the persecution of Falun Dafa. Setting aside her own life and while facing ten officers, she eloquently described Jiang’s treasonous deeds and spoke about the beauty of Falun Dafa. Her upright and dignified attitude is truly inspiring!”
She also admired the author’s candid acknowledgment of her own shortcomings and her determination to actively rectify them. She noted how the author repeatedly encouraged herself to endure, to improve, and to remind herself that she must change by hanging large printed characters throughout her home as constant reminders.
Reflecting on herself, Ms. Lin said, “I harbor many attachments, such as a desire for comfort, jealousy, and others. However, I often pretend not to notice them and avoid dealing with them. Reading about this practitioner tackling her attachments with such resolve compels me to face my own shortcomings honestly and motivates me to strive to remove them.”
Ms. Lin also expressed her gratitude for the many practitioners’ selfless sharings. “Practitioners in China diligently tell people the facts about Dafa, cultivate solidly in their daily lives, constantly look inward, and correct themselves, which has made me acutely aware of the vast gap between us.”
Letting Go of Self-Interest Opens Up New Horizons
For Ms. Chen, who has practiced Dafa for 23 years, reading the China Fahui article “A Senior in High School Cultivates Dafa and Elevates Her Xinxing” was like a stick warning, making her aware of her many attachments.
A few days ago, she had problems with both her phone and laptop, something that had never happened before. She was going through a tribulation and feeling a bit low. To escape for a bit, she sometimes watched dramas and checked stocks on her phone and laptop. She knew that these devices should be used to validate the Fa and let people know the facts about Dafa, but she often failed to do that.
When she read what the author said about her addiction to her phone and computer and how hard it was to resist them, Ms. Chen cried. She said, “This article hit me at the right spot. I woke up! Master was giving me hints that I was doing wrong.” She admitted her mistakes to her family members, who are also Dafa practitioners, and resolved to correct herself.
Ms. Chen, who is a teacher, is also a dutiful daughter-in-law who has diligently cared for her mother-in-law for 30 years. She has never argued with her mother-in-law, yet, she always felt unhappy inside, believing her mother-in-law had never treated her kindly. When she was recently informed that all her mother-in-law’s living expenses and caregiver’s costs would fall solely on her, she felt this was very unfair, but she couldn’t say anything. Resentment built up inside her, and she had difficulty overcoming this tribulation.
Reading an article about an author’s jealousy, Ms. Chen repeatedly asked herself: “Do I also have jealousy? How can my heart be filled with resentment? Aren’t all problems due to karmic retribution? Should I choose to be an evil person or a good one? I choose to be a good one! I absolutely refuse to be evil. But why am I still so conflicted and feeling this excruciating pain?”
Ms. Chen read other China Fahui with care and finally unraveled the knot in her heart that had pained for two months. She recognized her long-suppressed resentment and jealousy of her mother-in-law. She told herself, “Dafa practitioners are telling people the facts about Dafa. How can I focus on mundane worldly matters? Practitioners must view matters from a higher perspective and assist Master in saving sentient beings. The petty concerns of ordinary people are nothing at all!"
She smiled and said, “Actually, the path of cultivation has already been laid out by Master. Even the finds to support my mother-in-law were provided to me long ago. I must let go of resentment and strive to catch up in cultivation. Thank you, fellow practitioners, for your sharing. I bow in gratitude to Master.”
Reflecting on Shortcomings to Advance
Ms. Lee began cultivating Falun Dafa in 2003 and has persevered ever since because of Dafa’s greatness. She was moved by the China Fahui article “Looking Within Helps Us Overcome Difficulties,” in which the author repeatedly asked herself: “Am I willing to endure hardship during tribulations?” Ms. Lee couldn’t help but ask herself the same question.
Ms. Lee declared that she would not shy away from hardship: “Having the good fortune to cultivate Dafa, I can endure suffering even more. I am willing to endure hardship!” Yet she admitted, “Compared to practitioners in China, my resolve to endure hardship is actually not strong enough.”
In the article, the author, whose husband repeatedly incurred debts, said to him, “Husband and wife share hardships. Since you got into debt after we were married, it is a test I must pass. As a cultivator, I will bear it with you.” Ms. Li was touched by this. She commented, “The author humbles herself so profoundly and shows such tolerance—it’s truly remarkable. Looking at myself, I fall short and cannot yet handle things that way. But if she could do it, I believe I can gradually reach that level, too.”
The author also shared how she suppressed her affection for her son. Ms. Lee, a mother herself, sensed how profoundly difficult it is to let go of sentiment for family. However, she understood that cultivators must ultimately eliminate attachments to fame, gain, and sentiment, especially since they have a mission to clarify the facts about Dafa to others. She said, “I will fulfill my duty to protect and raise my child. But at the same time, I will gradually become less attached to sentiment and better use my time to talk with people about Falun Dafa.”
Sincerely grateful for the many China Fahui articles, Ms. Li said, “I thank the practitioners in China for sharing their cultivation journeys, and I thank the Minghui team for their hard work in compiling them. They help us learn from each other, cultivate together, elevate collectively, and advance diligently while saving others. Thank you, Master.”
