(Clearwisdom.net) Lisa Wu, a practitioner in Taiwan, called on December 3, 2011, and said, “Thank you so much for recommending that I read the online Fa conference papers. I am so moved, as if I was thoroughly cleansed. I can now see with greater clarity some thoughts that are not on the Fa, and my physical problems are gone. I read every paper now, and also recommend my fellow disciples to do the same.”

Finding Our Original True Selves
The papers of the Eighth Annual Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China are very enlightening to overseas practitioners. Ms. Hong, who works as a publisher, expressed that these papers have touched her deeply, made her feel life is grand, merciful, tolerant and wonderful! She said she often breaks into tears as she reads.
She said, “I often say I want to assimilate to Dafa, and be a qualified disciple. Master has revealed the universal secrets in the Fa, it is up to our hearts to enlighten to however much we can. We must disregard post natal self-protection notions, as well as doubt, fear, pride, and find our genuine prenatal selves, which are pure, wonderful, high and grand. We are limited by the small clothes we wear and small houses we live in. Only when we find our broad, merciful minds, then we can understand other beings with compassion, help fellow disciples succeed in the process of Fa-rectification, and progress together as part of the larger one-body.”
Learning How to Look Inside and Cultivate Solidly
Ms. Lisa Wu studied in England in June 1999. One of her mainland Chinese schoolmates asked her to type an experience sharing article to share at a Fa-conference (some mainland Chinese students not good at typing). Lisa asked many questions while composing the paper. Her schoolmate lent her several books. She has been walking her cultivation journey ever since then.
She works in finance now, and she shared, “Although I have cultivated for 12 years now but it seems I still don't know how to cultivate solidly or how to look inside deeply. I felt I could not break through that numb cultivation state, and have met with so many uneasy situations at work and in daily life. Mainland fellow practitioners can find each thought that doesn't confirm with the Fa at each moment, then correct them. I finally realized that what they do is truly looking inside!”
The words practitioners use when persuading Chinese to do the three withdrawals and truth clarification were so simple and pure, and inspired Lisa to break through her own problems, because she feels she doesn't know how to save people face to face. She plans to join a team that clarifies the truth in front of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and overcome her fear and attachment of leisure.
Lisa was also impressed by mainland practitioners' firm belief in Master and Dafa. The miracles are very touching. One lady was illiterate, but Master taught her how to read Lunyu in her dreams, and once she and another fellow practitioner went out to do truth clarification, walked very far, and got lost in the dark. They closed their eyes, pressed their hands together to beg Master, “Master, we could can't find our home now.” When they opened their eyes, Master teleported them to a road close to their homes. Lisa said she cried so much when she read this story.
Upgrading Understandings of the Fa
“I saw some articles that displayed a very high level understanding of the Fa principles. Some share how to cultivate xinxing in daily life, and others share how they clarify the truth all the time. Although their levels of understanding are different, I benefited from them all very much,” said Xiaoyang, a Dajiyuan News website editor. She thinks that one particular practitioner is remarkable, to be able to run the store by himself, and cultivate in that complicated environment, clarify the truth, and persuade people to do the three withdrawals. He used every spare moment to study the Fa - so diligent! Xiaoyang thinks she has large blocks of time to study the Fa, yet is not as diligent as when she first obtained the Fa.
Another paper, “Striving Forward and Assisting Master in Fa-rectification” is written by a practitioner in Guangdong province, and her third eye has been open since she was young. She shared about how she quit cultivation, Master was so hurt, and was scared till today. Master had tears of blood after many disciples stopped cultivation after July 1999. Master treasures us more than we treasure ourselves. She also shared about when she performed the fifth exercise and could not endure the pain any longer. She mentioned that it was Master who was really bearing the pain for her behind where shes at, sweat was dropping down in big drops, but Master still smiled. Xiayang said, I cried out loud upon reading those. My knowing side knows how much Master bore for me, because I was very pained as well.
Pure, Simple, But Deeply Moving
Ms. Chen has cultivated ten years. She found the mainland Chinese Fa-conference papers very inspiring, hence she has read every one of them. She would continue reading the next day if in the first day she could not find time, and she would share about them with other practitioners. Fewer than 50f the papers submitted were chosen to be published, so they are the best of best, very helpful to learn from.
She found this year's papers are more pure-hearted and simple, but deeply moving for practitioners. Some papers are like cultivation chronicles. She found that they have righteous thoughts towards sentient beings at every moment, and are looking inside all the time. Their cultivation states have assimilated to the Fa, are compassionate to sentient beings, and have warned overseas practitioners to quickly catch up.
She found many practitioners in mainland China displayed divine powers calmly, quietly fulfilling their missions in all kinds of situations. This gave her a felling that the genuine enlightened beings are about to be born.
