(Minghui.org) The China Fahui held on Minghui every year provides an opportunity for practitioners around the world to evaluate their cultivation states, so that all practitioners can improve together.
The 22nd China Fa Conference was held from November 9 to December 3, 2025 on the Minghui website. More than 90 articles written by practitioners in China were published.
Several practitioners in the United States shared their thoughts after reading the articles. One said the articles were “Pure, clean, simple, and unpretentious.” Another said that practicing cultivation outside of 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.”
Letting Go of Fear and Assimilating to the Fa
Ms. Yurina Liu said, “I read the article titled ‘Master Always Helps Me (Part 1).’ The author was over 70 years old, and her words were simple and sincere. She calmly narrated what she had gone through in the persecution. Her sincerity was touching.
“What impressed me the most was her pure, straightforward, and steadfast thoughts when facing terror, ‘I am a Dafa practitioner. There is nothing to be afraid of.’ She transcended fear, instead of having no fear. She resisted it by relying on her belief in Master and the Fa and her responsibility to save sentient beings, leading her to stand tall and walk steadily.
“I remained silent for a long time. Though I live outside of China and am not monitored, harassed, or intimidated, I still have a mental barrier—being afraid of conflicts, misunderstanding, and losing comfort. Although there is no external danger for the fear mentality, it can make me stagnant, retreat, and delay in saving sentient beings. I realized clearly that though we are in different environments, the essence of cultivation remains the same.”
Ms. Liu shared, “I started to reflect and found that I still have lots of everyday people’s thoughts. In my project, I would sometimes think about whether I would be rejected if I needed help from others, but did not first think about the sentient beings waiting to be saved. Sometimes when facing misunderstandings and negative attitudes, my first thought was not compassionate and inclusive, but about retreating or hoping for a better chance. In the sharing article, the author’s thoughts were so simple and straightforward in the most difficult environment: ‘If it is right, I will do it.’ This sentence was like a beam illuminating the weakness and dependence that I did not notice in my heart. I saw my shortcomings and started to memorize the Fa to assimilate to the Fa. I’ve started to pay attention to my thoughts after getting up in the morning to not be distracted by the fear mentality or the attachment to comfort. I realized more clearly that Dafa practitioners came to this world to save sentient beings, rather then for merging into the secular world and pursuing comfort. We must cultivate genuinely, believe in Master and the Fa, and take action to do so every day.”
She added, “After reading the article, I felt the power and a reminder that cultivation is not just a formality but step-by-step solid practice. In saving sentient beings, we must get rid of fear, attachments, selfishness, and the pursuit of comfort.”
Finding the Attachment Behind Fear
Ms. Sun from Michigan said she noticed her shortcomings after reading the articles from the China Fahui, especially her fear mentality during truth-clarification outside of China.
She said, “The fear mentality has been accompanying me for a long time. I realize more than ever from reading the articles that Master and the Fa are great. I was impressed with the article “Master Resolved My Karmic Debts.” The author overcame the persecution with righteous thoughts. She was in danger several times in her life, but her first thought was to send righteous thoughts. As soon as she recited the formula, the persecution disappeared. The article made me realize that besides having the fear mentality, I am unclear about the principles.”
Ms. Sun shared how she let go of her fear mentality. “I passed a test of sickness karma years ago. Within a few months, I experienced a test of life and death. I had strong fear mentality at that time, and it was stressful. I did not know whether I could pass the tribulation. What I did was continuously study the Fa, send righteous thoughts, and kept the thought ‘I want to be a genuine disciple.’ Finally Master dissolved my tribulation. So I know that in China, practitioners face pressure that is much greater than what we experience in this peaceful environment.
“Recently the project I joined has been in a critical situation. I am under a lot of pressure. The state of my previous sickness karma appeared. I couldn’t sleep well at night and kept sending righteous thoughts and doing the exercises in the morning. I initially felt unstable and had human thoughts popping up. I read Master’s teachings about sickness karma, looked within, and noted many attachments, especially the attachment to doing things and validating self. The project I do is for saving sentient beings. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference to saving sentient beings. I passed the test in two days.”
Looking Within and Letting Go of Personal Grudges
Ms. Jia in Michigan said, “My biggest impression from this China Fahui is that there is greatness amid the ordinary. Fellow practitioners are from different backgrounds, education levels, various ages, and diverse family and social environments. Their stories of validating the Fa are moving. Their solid and steadfast cultivation is especially admirable.”
“The author of the article ‘Falun Dafa Dissolved My Intense Hatred’ let go of personal grudges and clarified the truth to predestined people. Her story encouraged me to let go of a personal grudge and walk out of my human state,” Ms. Jia said.
Ms. Gan said, “The author of the article ‘Looking Within Helps Us Overcome Difficulties (Part 1)’ narrated the state of her human attachments, which presented the same state as mine. What she did was walk in a circle to force herself to calm down and study the Fa. When I faced such a situation, I generally couldn’t maintain my xinxing.
“I also have a conflict with my mother-in-law, similar to the author. I looked down on my mother-in-law and held grievances toward her, as she had various issues. I knew my state was not right and tried to get rid of my attachments. The author’s words resonated with me. If my mother-in-law was satisfactory in all aspects, how could I cultivate? The sentence ‘She behaved like this as she did not know how to cultivate,’ inspired me to have more compassion for my mother-in-law. I should be more considerate, and help her. I became more diligent with the help of other practitioners. As practitioners, we must cultivate solidly at all times and everywhere. The author’s words reminded me to listen to Master and change my notions.”
Ms. Zhang in Chicago said, “I was moved when I read the article ‘Looking Within Helps Us Overcome Difficulties (Part 1).” It let me realize my fundamental attachment—not wanting to endure human hardships. I thought that being human is hard and tiring without much meaning, so I wanted to cultivate and thought I could not take hardships in cultivation. To some extent, I cultivate to avoid hardship.
“The author asked herself three times, ‘Are you able to endure hardship?’ The hardships during cultivation are not for us to admit and get attached to, but for us to let go of attachments and improve ourselves. In other words, the hardships are not for us to just endure passively, but also allow us to improve through the hardship and get rid of attachments.”
Reflecting and Improving Together
Professor Xie in Atlanta said, “I read the articles posted every day during the China Fahui each year. I am touched by their simple and sincere sharing. I admire the authors, and feel encouraged. I noted my gaps, realized the greatness of Master and global practitioners as a whole body, and felt fortunate to be a member of the group.
“The sharing from practitioners in different regions makes us feel touched beyond words. Practitioners keep steadfast in believing in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, being grateful to Master, and persevering in the Fa. This is not a slogan, but conduct and actions for returning to the origin of life. When one perseveres in believing in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, his inner heart remains compassionate and kind, even facing persecution. The greatness of the spiritual power lets people witness the boundless power of the Fa.”
He added, “The other impressive point of the practitioners in China is that they truly practice Dafa cultivation by looking within. Many articles shared how the authors solved crises by reflecting and correcting their words and actions when facing conflicts or family tribulations. The stories of practitioners in China are simple and unpretentious, and present the contrast between good and evil in detail.
“The articles from the China Fahui are like a mirror to reflect the greatness of Dafa, the preciousness of the predestined opportunity to practice cultivation, and the truth of returning to one’s original nature. I appreciate Minghui.org for each year’s China Fahui, letting us transcend time and space, and allow global practitioners to walk together on our cultivation paths during the Fa-rectification under Master’s protection.”
