Falun Dafa was introduced to this island two years ago, and it has spread steadily ever since. This conference provided a good opportunity for practitioners to sum-up experiences and exchange understandings with practitioners from other areas to enhance local Fa spreading and truth clarification efforts.
On the afternoon of the first day of the conference, practitioners did the exercises on the sidewalk in front of the hotel where they stayed. There were numerous vehicles passing by, and many stopped to take Falun Gong information when they passed the practitioners. At night, practitioners held a large group sharing. They exchanged experience in spreading Fa and clarifying the truth to government, legal circles and citizens of their respective countries.
Early in the morning of the second day, practitioners went to Batam Bridge, one of the attractions of this island, to practice Falun Gong and send righteous thoughts. During the conference, many native Indonesian practitioners who have practiced Falun Gong for between 3 months and 2 years shared their experiences. They talked about their physical and mental benefits from practicing Falun Dafa and expressed their gratitude toward Master Li and Dafa.
Jakarta young practitioners and Singapore practitioners performed cultural programs during the conference. The conference was very successfully and it concluded with all practitioners singing "Falun Dafa is Great" together.
