Japan: Falun Dafa Practitioners Share Their Thoughts After Reading China Fa Conference Articles

Dec. 4, 2025 |   By a Minghui corespondent in Japan

(Minghui.org) More than 80 experience sharing articles were published by the end of November 2025 for the 22nd China Fa Conference on Minghui.org. It is an online conference hosted by the Minghui editorial department. Practitioners in China shared their experiences with practitioners around the world via the conference. They described their cultivation journeys and how they look within unconditionally and practice Falun Dafa’s guiding principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in different environments.

Japanese practitioners said they benefit greatly from reading these articles. They see how practitioners in China, despite the harsh environment, use their wisdom and compassion to clarify the truth about the persecution and use various ways to validate Dafa. When they reflected on how they are progressing in studying the Fa teachings and cultivating compared to practitioners in China, Japanese practitioners expressed their determination to have even greater faith in Master and the Fa as they follow their cultivation paths.

Treating Practitioners with Righteous Thoughts and Having Compassion

Ms. Sumino said she benefited greatly from every China Fahui article she read, that each one is a fellow practitioner’s invaluable cultivation experience.

In particular, the article “Treasuring My Twenty-Year-Long Cultivation Journey With Elderly Practitioners” moved her deeply, and she saw where she fell short. She said a man in his 80s, who is kind and friendly, comes to the practice site. But after he repeatedly read Zhuan Falun and many of Master’s other articles, he said he wasn’t interested in cultivation, that he just did the exercises to remain healthy and have his illnesses cured. Another man, also in his 80s, said he had no interest in reading the Fa and just does the exercises. Ms. Sumino said that, because of what they said, she lost hope for them.

After she read the China Fahui articles, she realized she was not kind, she had negative thoughts, and she lacked compassion. She said that, going forward, she wouldn’t be moved by surface appearances, and she would not pursue results. She said she would treat other practitioners with a sincere heart and do what she should do.

Realizing Tribulations Are Cultivation Opportunities

After reading the articles, Ms. Qin said practitioners in China have become wise, mature, and steady.

She was deeply moved by the article “Looking Within Helps Us Overcome Difficulties,” because the author always remembers why we cultivate: Her first thought is always to look within no matter how big the conflict or the pressure she encounters. What touched Ms. Qin most was when the author discovered her fundamental attachment when she was under immense financial pressure. When attachment of profit and resentment kept nagging at her heart, the author did not blame others—instead she forced herself to confront the question, “Are you willing to suffer?” She kept urging herself to answer the question and made herself face it. Ms. Qin said the article inspired her to look inward and ask herself, “Am I able to do that?”

“In the process of rescuing her mother, the author kept memorizing the Fa. When her heart was filled with the Fa, her environment changed. One sentence deeply impressed me: ‘What I learned from the Fa the previous day will definitely guide my road the next day. As long as the Fa is in one’s heart, one’s environment will change.’ After reading the article, I had such respect for the author and realized that genuine cultivation does not mean changing others or our environment; it means looking inward and changing ourselves.

“Looking within is the key that broadens our cultivation path. All of author’s breakthroughs were unlocked with this key. Her experience also reminds me that when a cultivator truly looks within, every tribulation becomes a ladder that Master arranged for our improvement, which brings a life to a higher and purer realm step by step.”

Ms. Qin said that the author’s upright and righteous thoughts in the article “Seeking Redress for My Imprisoned Husband and Clarifying the Truth About the Persecution” moved her deeply. She said that, in her own cultivation, everything she does should come from the heart, that she should put others before herself and remind herself to be upright and righteous.

Ms. Qin said, “I was impressed by how the author was able to so naturally make use of ordinary people’s laws while countering the persecution and clarifying the truth in such a harsh environment in China. I also felt that the wisdom we gain from Dafa enabled the author to do that. People’s positive attitude toward Dafa and practitioners is indeed the result of practitioners’ righteous thoughts and righteous actions. I also realized that, inside or outside of China, and in whatever project you are involved in to save people, you must have a solid cultivation foundation to do it well.”

See the Gaps and Be Determined to Study More Fa and Truly Cultivate

Ms. Renmoto learned a great deal from the article “Fellow Practitioners Are Our Family.” Practitioners who had symptoms of sickness karma stayed in author’s home while overcoming tribulations. What shocked Ms. Renmoto the most was the story about practitioner Kenji (pseudonym), whom the author drove to his home in his car. At the time, Kenji was manifesting symptoms of a stroke and was unable to walk or speak clearly. Kenji’s wife said that he hadn’t been able to walk for a year and had almost died before the New Year. To help him do the exercises, the author stood behind him when they did exercises in the morning, helping him hold up his arms and encouraging him to persist. And Kenji did.

The author and Kenji studied the Fa, sent righteous thoughts, and practiced the exercises. Seven days later, Kenji fully recovered and even rode a bicycle back home, about 10 miles away. His wife was astonished.

Ms. Renmoto said she was astonished, too. She said it shows the author’s unwavering faith in the Fa and Master, how big his heart is, and how much compassion he has. She also thought Kenji was fortunate to have such a wonderful fellow practitioner.

Ms. Renmoto said, “Cultivators talk about levels and realms, and we break through levels step by step to reach higher realms. These acts of compassion come from the higher realms practitioners have reached by cultivating themselves. From this article, I see I still have a long way to go. I will study the Fa more and truly cultivate.”

The article Eliminating Fear and Changing Our Notions While Using the Legal System to Expose the Persecution, impressed Ms. Fujishima with the righteous thoughts and actions of practitioners in China. While using the law to rescue practitioners, the deeper meaning lies in saving the people who are kind, like the judges and police officers who daren’t follow the law under the evil regime. Fellow practitioners went from being overly cautious and afraid of making mistakes, to boldly and diligently analyzing the loopholes in each of the CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party) laws. When they became clear-headed about personal cultivation and validating Dafa, their power to save people was strengthened.

Ms. Fujishima said, “Without fear, righteous thoughts arise, and righteous thoughts come from Dafa. Practitioners studied the laws related to arrests so thoroughly that even the judges and the police were impressed, and they eventually released all the arrested practitioners. The process was really touching and thrilling and admirable. In fact, it was Dafa and Master who saved people.”

With a Will, You can Do It in the Future Even if You Can’t Do It Now

Ms. Li was impressed by the article “Courageously Telling People the Facts About Falun Dafa.” She said, “The process of how a practitioner went from not knowing how to clarify the truth to knowing how made me realize that, even if you can’t do something now, as long as you have the will and work hard, you will be able to do it in the future. I truly admire how the practitioners in an environment like China where Falun Dafa is being severely persecuted can put aside their own safety, have no fear, and clarify the truth about Falun Dafa openly and honestly even in police stations.”

In addition, Ms. Li was impressed by the perseverance and resilience of practitioners in China who are not afraid of suffering for long periods of time. They keep going to construction sites, even though getting there is difficult, to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to the laborers and advise them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Ms. Li believed that practitioners, including herself, will become more diligent through this China Fahui.

Understand the Difference Between Personal Cultivation and Fa-Rectification Cultivation

Mr. Zhang said that the article “The Importance of Clearly Understanding Fa-Rectification Cultivation” made a a deep impression on him. The author was repeatedly arrested, imprisoned, sent to a forced labor camp, and fired from her jobs for going to Beijing many times to appeal for Falun Dafa and for refusing to renounce her faith. Despite her tribulations, she had no resentment or regrets. When a family member blamed her and asked why she was always getting arrested, she immediately looked within unconditionally and enlightened: We are the main characters in this play, and our relationship with sentient beings is that we are saving them and they are being saved, rather than sentient beings are the perpetrators of the persecution and Dafa practitioners are being persecuted. Falun Dafa practitioners are here to save people, not to endure persecution.

Mr. Zhang said that, when he read this, he suddenly realized that he did not have a clear understanding of the Fa, that when tribulations occurred he wasn’t sure whether he should deny them or endure them. By reading these articles, he gained a new understanding: Enduring hardships helps improve one’s character so we can assist Master in Fa-rectification. When we encounter tribulations and interference while doing the three things, we should remember we are cultivators and have righteous thoughts. Falun Dafa’s righteous energy can correct all incorrect states.

The author demonstrated her faith in Master and the Fa and helped Mr. Zhang see where he fell short: He must always uphold his righteous faith, not to be attached to comfort, and not stop moving forward.

Mr. Zhang hopes that practitioners outside of China will read more China Fahui articles, share more experiences, cherish their relaxed environment even more, persevere in doing exercises and studying the Fa together, and maintain the form of cultivation that Master left to us. He also vows to do the three things well, study the Fa more, memorize the Fa, and improve the quality of his Fa study so that Master will not worry about him.
