Switzerland: The Sixth Falun Dafa Experience-Sharing Conference Held in Schupfheim

(Minghui.org) The sixth Falun Dafa Experience-Sharing Conference in German-speaking Switzerland was held on October 19, 2025 in Schuepfheim. Practitioners from Switzerland, Germany, France, and Austria attended the event.

Twenty-one practitioners described the physical and spiritual benefits they received from Falun Dafa. In addition to following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, they were able to look within when they encounter problems. This allowed them to constantly improve their xinxing (character).

The sixth Falun Dafa Experience-Sharing Conference in German-speaking Switzerland took place on October 19, 2025.

Twenty-one practitioners talked about their cultivation experiences.

Consistent Study of Dafa Teachings

Mr. Lin has always been interested in the purpose of life. He said he felt fortunate to find Falun Dafa in 1998. About three years ago, he reflected on his cultivation journey and felt he could do better. So he focused on studying the Fa (teachings), including memorizing the Chinese version of Zhuan Falun, Falun Dafa’s main book.

As a Chinese whose family immigrated from Vietnam to Switzerland, Mr. Lin’s native language is Austrian. Although he hardly knew any Chinese, he knew Falun Dafa was first introduced in China and the Fa was initially taught in Chinese, so he decided to study Zhuan Falun in Chinese. After he joined other Chinese practitioners in the group meetings, he made significant progress and can recite On Dafa. He can now recognize almost all the Chinese characters in Zhuan Falun and he reads them fluently. “I feel the difference and I’m able to remain calm during conflicts,” he explained.

His wife is not a practitioner and sometimes complains. When that happens, Mr. Li looks inward to identify his omissions. “If I hadn’t studied the teachings, I probably wouldn’t have handled this well because of attachments and human notions,” he said. “I also stopped wasting time on the Internet or playing on my cell phone. I want to thank Master Li (founder of Falun Dafa).”

Mr. Xue heard about Falun Dafa in 1996 when he was in mainland China. But he barely practiced until he moved overseas in 2016. After attending the experience-sharing conference in German-speaking Switzerland last year, he was motivated to cultivate solidly.

After he joined the daily group Fa study at the end of last year, he could feel a big change, as if he had just woken up. “I could understand a lot from each article of Master Li. Now I know what is a Fa-rectification Period Dafa Disciple and understand how to the three things well. Group study has also strengthened my righteous thoughts, given my confidence in cultivation, and allowed me to help save people,” he said.

As a result, Mr. Xue began to tell others about Falun Dafa and he applies Dafa’s teachings in his daily life. “When I handle issues, I ask myself: How should a practitioner handle this situation? Is the way I handle it appropriate and how will it affect other people?” he continued. “As I continue looking within, I can feel my progress and the positive feedback from my family. Our life is harmonious now.”

Looking Within

Several practitioners said Falun Dafa gave them a new perspective; they set aside their human notions and look at things differently. They also felt Falun Dafa’s power.

After Laetitia felt joint pain, she went online checking what illness it was. When her husband (also a practitioner) reminded her to look inward as a practitioner, Laetitia saw her fear of illness and knew this was her fundamental attachment. Reminded and encouraged by other practitioners, she spent more time doing the exercises and studying the teachings.

Laetitia also understood details also matter and she reads Zhuan Falun attentively. “I read slowly and compare each sentence to my behavior and evaluate every single thought and action,” she explained. She realized she harbored resentment, especially for her husband.

The next time she had such a strong complaint she became alert: why do I insist that I am right and he is wrong? Since I am eliminating karma, isn’t this a good opportunity to cultivate compassion? “With that thought, my anger was gone and my heart was calm and relaxed. My body also felt light,” Laetitia said.

The joint pain also reminded Laetitia to let go of the attachment to lust. “Master helped me to eliminate the thick and sticky karma, in which I was trapped for too long,” she explained. “Master’s compassion filled my heart. Looking at Master’s picture, I was moved to tears.”

Looking back, Laetitia realized the joint pain was the best experience she had in the past year. This is because she was able to look within through this process and eliminate fundamental attachments.

Corinne and her family own a vineyard, and they sometimes had conflicts. While traveling with her husband, she was worried and shouted at him. Her husband shouted back. “When I looked inward, I realized I wanted to control others and I was afraid. All these are attachments,” she said. “As soon as I had that thought, I felt as though a protective shield surrounded me—I calmly watched my husband yelling.”

However, after they arrived at the hotel, Corinne became upset again and felt she was wronged. She also remembered how her husband treated her unfairly for years. When she later meditated and looked inward, she realized she was afraid her husband would be angry. She realized all these attachments were arranged by the old forces to create barriers between them—she changed her mindset and her heart was filled with gentleness toward her husband.

“After spending more time doing the exercises, I found I’m able to remain calm during xinxing conflicts, especially those related to my husband and other members of my family,” she explained.

Sharing Dafa with Others

Practitioners tell others about Falun Dafa hoping they would also benefit. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to suppress Dafa in July 1999, they told people about the persecution so they would not be misled by the CCP’s defamatory propaganda.

After talking with a vineyard employee about Dafa, Corinne also shared with her Master Li’s audio lecture. The woman not only accepted what Corinne said, she also told her family members in Switzerland, Moldova, and Portugal about Falun Dafa.

Yolanda began to practice Falun Dafa after receiving a pamphlet in her mailbox last August. In the beginning, she was surprised that Falun Dafa was free of charge and the teachings were so profound. “I have the attachments of controlling others, zealotry, showing off, and selfishness,” she said.

She also found many places where she could handle issues like a practitioner. This includes forgiving other drivers’ rude behavior and telling her four teenage sons how to be good people. She is happy to tell people about Dafa, such as sharing information on upcoming nine-day workshops.

“Through these interactions I realized the importance of using every opportunity, big or small, to tell people about Dafa and help Master save them,” Yolanda continued. “I know I am doing this to validate Dafa, not myself.”

Cornelia took a long trip and talked with people about Dafa. While she waited for a flight at the airport, she decided to tell Chinese passengers about Dafa.

There seemed to be some challenges – the security check was delayed and dinner was postponed. Cornelia was also afraid if she would be sued for distributing materials. Remembering Dafa’s teachings and the benefits she received from Dafa, she nonetheless decided to give a try.

Cornelia talked with many Chinese people. “Some of them were surprised that a European like me would give them materials printed in Chinese. The feedback was positive – one man actually praised me for doing that and another one also accepted the material despite his initial hesitation,” she said. “After giving away dozens copies of materials, I am thankful to Master Li for this opportunity to help Chinese people.”

The conference concluded at dusk. Many participants said they learned a lot from the event. They could feel Falun Dafa’s blessings and were able to see where they could do better as practitioners. Everyone was grateful to Master Li for all these insights.
