(Minghui.org) The Israel Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference was held at the Zionist Organization of America Hall in Tel Aviv on October 20, 2012. Besides practitioners from Israel there were 20 practitioners from Russia who attended this magnificent occasion.
The day before the conference, practitioners took part in a truth-clarifying activity in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. Practitioners demonstrated the exercises and showed the beauty of Dafa through dance at one of the busiest tourist attractions in the country for four hours. A group of practitioners clarified the truth to passersby, inviting them to sign an international petition drafted by Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting and another human rights organization called the Radical Party.
The petition calls upon the UN Human Rights High Commissioner to initiate a professional investigation team focused on the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) forced organ harvesting in China, especially from Falun Gong practitioners. Many passersby signed the petition.
On the day of the conference, at the noon break, the participants joined a group exercise in a nearby park, which drew a lot of attention.
During the conference, 14 practitioners shared their cultivation experiences and how they looked inward and let go of attachments in different environments.
A female practitioner who is married to a non-practitioner shared how she saved her marriage by simply looking inward, though the crisis seemed to have been her husband's. The tribulation then vanished like a waft of air.
A practitioner from Russia shared how she survived a severe illness by practicing Dafa. Twelve years later she was able to deny the arrangements of the old forces by not accepting the circumstances they created as reality.
A new practitioner shared her first steps in Falun Dafa, and how she has dealt with the issue of complacency.
Saving Sentient Beings Is Most Important
A nine-year-old practitioner shared how he goes with a veteran practitioner to clarify the truth. He is guided daily by Master and is very diligent in clarifying the truth to people. When he didn't go out for a couple of days he saw in a dream his own celestial world empty and broken. Upon waking, he realized his great responsibility for saving sentient beings.
Eliminating the Evil
A practitioner who went to Hong Kong sent her experience on how an evil organization is trying to interfere with the activities of Falun Gong at truth-clarifying sites in Hong Kong. They defame Falun Dafa and its founder with huge banners and Mao-style loud propaganda. This practitioner clarified the truth to the police over and over for months, in different places, and also to some members of the meddlesome organization.
Minghui Summer Camp
A practitioner from Israel who now lives in France shared how she and her husband organized a Minghui summer camp in their home for practitioners' children. Children of all different ages came with or without their parents for a long weekend in a picturesque area in France. Together the children learned the exercises, memorized two poems from Hong Yin in Chinese, studied the Fa, and learned how to share in a group. Most of the activities were done together with the parents. For the rest of the day, the children and parents explored the countryside, riding horses and sailing. The children benefitted a lot, improved in many ways, and said that it had been the most wonderful vacation they had ever experienced.
The attendants said that the sharing papers were illuminating, mature and elevating.
