(Clearwisdom.net) On February 10, 2011, the 15th Falun Dafa Young Practitioners Experience Sharing Camp was held at the National Yunlin University of Science and Technology. Over 80 young practitioners from all over Taiwan spent three days together sharing their experiences in cultivation.

In the past few years, the young practitioners have gathered twice a year to create an environment for sharing and improving themselves. After the morning exercises, practitioners studied the Fa extensively and shared their experiences. Through sharing experiences during the three days, everyone learned how to better cultivate, how to improve his/her xinxing, and how each other passed their tests. They gained better understanding about cultivation, the importance of sending righteous thoughts and clarifying the facts about the persecution to others, and how to validate the Fa.
College student Luo was glad he could talk to people his age and learn more about the issues most encountered by people his age. “Seeing everyone progress diligently makes me feel that I need to improve quickly,” said Luo.
Middle school student Wu said that he was really happy to be there because he had a better understanding of how to be a good practitioner in everyday life. “Everyone answered my questions patiently. They are very different from my classmates at school.”
College student Li learned how to avoid fighting back when insulted and how to let go of selfishness. After changing his notions he has been able to call people in China on the phone to clarify the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong.
Another college student Qiu talked about how he reached a rational understanding of emotions and romantic relationships. “I realized that it is normal to have attachments in this aspect. Instead of blaming myself, I need to take it seriously and eliminate my attachments. I also can't just think of myself, I have to think of others as well. I won't go extremes and must treat the issue rationally.”
College student Lin realized the importance of cultivating as a group and having such an environment. She joined the Falun Dafa Club at school. Seeing everyone come from different majors made her realized that Falun Dafa was for people from all walks of life. She felt that her mind was purified each time she joined a group Fa study. It is an environment for everyone to improve him/herself and hence she really cherished such opportunities.
“After hearing others’ experience, I am so touched,” said a college student Lin. Chen from a military school said, “I think this is great. Everyone is working so hard to progress in the practice and to eliminate their attachments. I really need to catch up.”
After the camp, the young practitioners were more determined to let more people know about the beauty of Falun Dafa. A practitioner said, “More people will have the opportunity to learn about Falun Dafa when I let go of my attachment of fear and step forward to share the goodness of Falun Dafa.”
