Falun Dafa, also called Falun Gong, teaches the practitioners the principle of Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance. Practitioners start from being a good person, always telling the truth, doing the right thing, and being considerate to others. It also requires a practitioner to bear the difficulties of life and tolerate the intolerable. Attendees of the camp ranged from elementary school students to graduate students and their experience-sharings were rich and profound.
Schoolmates and Fellow Practitioners
Hanfang is a sophomore at Chingyi University. To her surprise, she met a schoolmate from her department at the camp. She said that they have known each other for one year and only knew they were both Falun Dafa practitioners. She felt very happy and gratified. Currently, there is no Falun Dafa Club in Chingyi University, so Hanfang has decided to establish a Falun Dafa club for fellow schoolmates and practitioners to cultivate together.
Ding Kaiting is now in his sixth year at Kaoshiung Medical University and is also the host of the activities. He said he learned a lot from the sharings and found places he needs to improve in cultivation. "Every sharing uplifted me," said Ding, "Falun Dafa practitioners are all over the world, with different jobs, families and lives. No matter where you are, you must get eliminate all types of attachments on the path of cultivation. Cultivation practice is serious."
Look Inward and Be Diligent
Mr. Li Pinyou, president of the Falun Dafa Club at Chungcheng University, was happy to see that so many practitioners who are diligent on the path of cultivation. "I think this is a very precious opportunity to share our understandings," Li said, "A major difference between a young practitioner and an ordinary young person is that a practitioner will look inward when facing an issue. One will find one's own shortcomings and improve. As for this conference, there were difficulties too. But we faced those challenges with compassion and the firm wills of practitioners. To me, facing and solving the difficulties and conflicts during the event is my largest achievement." Li also thanked Master for arranging the opportunity to host this event at Chungcheng University. "In overcoming difficulties organizing and hosting the event, I will value more of the future cultivation path and walk it well and righteously."
Teacher Wang Lincheng recently graduated from the Physics Department of Chungyang University. After attending the camp, he said, "I think we will not judge others as being good or bad in their cultivation. When we all reach a status of being totally unselfish, all the practitioners will form a unified body." Talking about organizing the three-day camp, Wang said, "Let everyone participate. A true practitioner will help other practitioners and mature together. Everyone can find the path of one's cultivation."
The camp completed in Minshiung Village Library in Chiayi County. Every attendee benefited from others' experiences and knowledge during the three-day camp. The camp was also a window to show how Falun Dafa prospers in Taiwan and to see the character of the young student practitioners.
