(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in the Dallas, Texas area held an experience sharing conference in the City of Richardson on May 5, 2013, the eve of the 21st anniversary of Falun Dafa's public introduction. Practitioners shared their experiences of following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance in their work, family life and truth-clarification projects. They also expressed their gratitude to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, and their determination to help Master in saving more sentient beings.
Dallas Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference on May 5, 2013 in Richardson, Texas.
Nineteen practitioners shared their experiences. Promotion of the Shen Yun show is a major project and provides an opportunity for practitioners to coordinate with each other. Coordinators shared how they cultivated tolerance and righteous thoughts during their coordination work. Several practitioners shared how they let go their attachments during Shen Yun promotion projects.
One practitioner shared how she felt after finding and letting go of her attachments: “My world was suddenly righted when I found my attachment. I felt that a kind of material seemed to be eliminated suddenly. I learned how to view things in a positive way, how to see my fellow practitioners' strong points and their unselfishness.”
A practitioner in her seventies shared how she had been practicing Falun Gong for six years. She has enjoyed good health and does not need any medications. She lives with her extended family. Her daughter's mother-in-law sometimes verbally abused her and even hit her. However, the practitioner followed the requirements of Dafa and didn't fight back. She rectified her own words and actions every day and refused to be sidetracked in the face of loss. Eventually, she developed a good environment to study the Fa peacefully.
Several older practitioners shared how they gained a more rational understanding of Dafa during their cultivation practice. They all realized the importance of studying the Fa and improving their xinxing. This has been the main factor in their doing well in saving sentient beings. A practitioner shared, “I now realized that I had fallen short in solid cultivation of my xinxing during difficult times. The key isn't my state of cultivation when life is peaceful.”
Each practitioner understands that every step forward is made possible through Master's hard work and compassionate care. They resolved to solidly follow Dafa's principles, improve themselves and let go their attachments. It is the only way to not let Master down, and also the only way to be worthy of Buddha's infinite grace.
