(Minghui.org) Practitioners in Edmonton, Canada, held their annual Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference on the campus of the University of Alberta on May 5, 2013. A dozen practitioners shared their cultivation experiences at the gathering.
Practitioners share their cultivation experiences with the audience.
Justina, a Western practitioner, spoke about how she let go of the attachment to money and became better at considering others and their point of view. Her relationship with her husband has become more harmonious as a result of her improvement in cultivation, she said. In turn, her husband has also stopped spending money casually.
Hubert, a new Western practitioner, attended a cultivation experience-sharing conference for the first time. He said that it had been really difficult for him to obtain the Fa, and that he felt lucky to be a Falun Dafa cultivator. He experienced many positive changes after beginning cultivation, he said. For example, when he let go of his competitive mentality, he was able to get along with his family and friends much better than before, which amazed them.
Ms. Lu reviewed her experience of cultivating while participating in various Dafa projects over the past few years. Every time she ran into difficulties, was not able to make a breakthrough, or thought about giving up, Master helped her, giving her hints to guide her toward improvement. In the process, she finally learned how to look inward and was able to pass several large tribulations.
Ms. Chen talked about how she looked inward and got rid of the old forces' interference. She said: “As a coordinator, whenever I see fellow practitioners' shortcomings, I should look inward and see if I have similar problems. I will only talk to fellow practitioners about their problems after I look inward.” She also said: “It is impossible to eliminate barriers between myself and other practitioners if my human notions toward the other practitioners still exist. I found that the distance between me and other practitioners disappeared when I sent forth righteous thoughts and tried to eliminate the negative notions I had toward those practitioners, instead trying to look at their positive points.” She concluded that as a practitioner, one should be able to collaborate with others, be harmonious with others, and tolerate others.
Ms. Tang, 60, came to Canada from China a few months ago. She talked about her experience of clarifying the truth in China. When she first came to Canada, she didn't know what to do because she doesn't speak English and cannot drive. Later, she realized that it was Master's arrangement that she came to Canada, and since Master has arranged this path for her, she must be able clarify the facts about the persecution to people here. She now talks to the Chinese people in her neighborhood every day, and every day she is able to convince somebody to quit the Communist Party. She also passes out informational materials. She said, “When I have righteous thoughts, I can feel that Master has arranged everything for me.”
Other practitioners also talked about their understanding of the Fa and how they broke through their human notions and improved their xinxing. The conference started at 9 a.m. and concluded at 4 p.m.
