(Minghui.org) More than 6,000 practitioners attended the annual Taiwan Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference held on November 13, 2022. Falun Dafa practitioners shared their experiences of looking inward, getting rid of attachments, and validating the Fa. Two new practitioners shared how they took up the practice after many ups and downs in their lives.
Practicing Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Saves Woman’s Marriage
Li-ling had a successful beauty business in mainland China. It required her to spend a lot of time in China and be away from her husband. A few years ago she found that their marriage was in crisis because of the long separation. Li-ling decided to leave the business behind and move back to Taiwan to save her marriage.
She attended a nine day Falun Dafa teaching class after being recommended by a friend in 2017. She recalled a moment of the last class, “Master (Falun Dafa’s founder) on the TV screen exuded a strong golden light. I rubbed my eyes and wondered if I was seeing an illusion. When I saw it again, it was still golden.” Such a scene left a deep impression on her.
At the same time, she also saw Master’s law body, white virtue and black karma on human bodies and matter in other dimensions vividly, witnessing the teachings in Zhuan Falun firsthand. She knew that Master was encouraging her to strive forward diligently.
“Every step of my cultivation is done under Master’s care and guidance,” Li-ling said. “The biggest change after obtaining the Fa was that I learned to look inward, to change and improve my xinxing.”
In the past, she was a domineering, hot-tempered, arrogant and unreasonable woman. But Falun Dafa taught her to look within, which gave her marriage a new life.
One day she drove a drunk coworker home, but the coworker’s mother cursed at Li-ling, not understanding that she was doing a good deed. It would’ve been unbearable to her in the past but now she looks within. “I used to treat my husband like this. I was angry and scolded him by pointing my finger at him. Looking at my coworker’s mother was like looking at myself in the mirror,” Li-ling recalled.
She was determined to get rid of the attachments of sentimentality, resentment, jealousy, and competitiveness. Nowadays, she looks at her husband in a much more positive light. She is very grateful to Master for guiding her step by step, and realized that everything will be the best as long as she follows Master’s arrangements.
“Let me find the righteous Fa and a famous teacher”
Ying-zhen from Yunlin County, Taiwan had thought about practicing Buddhism since she was a child, but never found the right fit for her after decades of searching and trying different practices. She always asked the Buddha to bless her and let her find a righteous Fa and a famous teacher.
She missed a chance about 20 years ago. Chinese police searched Falun Gong practitioners in a factory in mainland China that her husband managed. The police also told him to report any Falun Gong practitioners that he employed to the authorities. Due to all the propaganda defaming Falun Gong, she didn’t take up the practice.
More than a decade later, she read a post on Facebook that a Taiwanese doing business in a foreign country got a copy of the main Falun Dafa text, Zhuan Falun, which completely changed her life.
Ying-zhen decided to read the book and she reached the same conclusions afterward, “Everything I’ve been looking for in my life is in it. This is what I want!”
She feels that she is very fortunate three years after taking up the practice. “Being able to obtain this Dafa has given me a lot of blessings. My spiritual life is rich. I am very happy physically and mentally,” Ying-zhen said.
