Many of the schoolteachers who attended this session had heard that Falun Dafa is very good and thus they chose to attend the study camp. The principal of Xintai Primary School gave his wholehearted support to this event. The school is newly founded. The environment was very good, however the audiovisual classroom had not yet been set up. There was only a large classroom without video equipment, chairs or curtains. The principal managed to have the curtains installed and borrowed chairs to make the study camp run smoothly.
Director Wang of the Tainan County Department of Education shares his cultivation experience
The content of the study camp consisted mainly of Master Li's Lectures in Guangzhou as well as teaching Dafa exercises and clarifying the truth. During the study camp, practitioners were invited to share their experiences. Director Wang of the Tainan County Department of Education was invited to relate his experiences. He mentioned he had heard of Falun Gong a long time ago and his sister, who had been practicing for quite some time, invited him to join. However, because of his busy schedule he did not start practicing Falun Gong until two month ago. Now he reads Zhuan Falun every day, at least one lecture a day. He has read it over a dozen times. He said since high school he has had serious nasal allergies. For over twenty years he suffered from a stuffy nose and had difficulty breathing. Like magic, his nasal allergies have disappeared and he has enjoyed normal breathing since he attended the nine-day seminar and started reading Zhuan Falun every day. He also mentioned that cultivating xinxing is as important as studying the Fa. He hoped the schoolteachers could encourage their students all the time to do everything according to the principle of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance in everyday life to elevate their moral standard and become well educated.
Tainan County Commissioner: Good afternoon, fellow practitioners
On the afternoon of February 1, the Tainan County Commissioner came to the study camp. His coming was a sign of support and affirmation from the government. Commissioner Su Huanzhi opened his speech with, "Good afternoon, fellow practitioners." He said this because he had read Zhuan Falun and learned the five sets of exercises. He said Falun Gong is spreading near and far at a very fast speed and has become the standard by which to evaluate the Chinese government's commitment to human rights. The world is watching to see how China's government deals with the Falun Gong issue. It is a big test to determine whether or not China is working towards real democracy. He expected everyone to practice diligently and make the society more peaceful, and the people more healthy. Mr. Su said because the election had just ended and he had just started his job, he has been quite busy; but soon he would find time to study and cultivate together with practitioners.
The study camp ended successfully. The organizers believe that the schoolteachers benefited from their study and expect them to persevere in cultivation, tell the truth to people, awaken the people, and help more people attain the Fa. Practitioners also credited Master Li's benevolence for making the study camp a huge success.
