Falun Dafa practitioners shared their experiences at the conference on December 26, 2022.
Helping Chinese Nationals Quit the CCP
A practitioner who began Falun Dafa 21 years ago thanked Master Li (Dafa’s founder) for his teachings and constant protection. One day she asked a Chinese man who has lived in Singapore for 16 years if he had quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The man shook his head and refused to talk to her. She did not give up and patiently explained why he should. In the end, he quit the CCP and said, “I never wanted to listen to anyone when they talked about it before, but I really enjoyed listening to you.”
Another practitioner shared how she helped over 800 Chinese people quit the CCP in the past six months. She met a group of Chinese people but did not have any fliers. Thinking it would be difficult to talk to a group of people face to face without any materials, she began talking. To her surprise, everyone quit the CCP. “I talked for over two hours and all 20 of them quit. This never happened to me before,” she said.
Improving Character at Work
Mr. Huang, a software engineer, was assigned a partner at work last year because his supervisor believed that it would better serve the customers. “I began to shoulder more and more workload as the customers all came to me instead of to my partner to solve their problems. Other coworkers thought that it was not fair but I did not mind. I like to help customers. Besides I’m paid to work. The law of the universe is fair. If I was really taken advantage of, I’d be compensated with virtue,” he said.
One day a customer consulted his partner because Mr. Huang was away. His partner had no idea what to do and asked one of Mr. Huang’s coworkers to help. This coworker was quite upset. Mr. Huang realized that he had only paid attention to his part of the job and ignored helping his partner learn new information. “This caused issues for my partner and others in the company,” he said. After he made adjustments, his partner also changed his attitude and began to actively take care of business.
Some of his coworkers admired how he handled the issue and were amazed that he looks a lot younger than his age. He told them about Falun Dafa, “I encouraged them to join me in doing the exercises.”
Family Conflicts Resolved
Ms. Lin’s 91-year-old mother became very ill in 2020 and her family in Malaysia wanted her to return home. When she returned, she faced challenges one after another. Initially, her sister-in-law would not let her stay with her mother at night, and her brother could do nothing about it. After the issue was resolved, no one else in the family would be available to help take care of her mother even though she was very tired. “I was not happy, but I knew that I was a practitioner and should shoulder more responsibility than the others,” she said.
One day someone stole her car, in which she left her apartment keys. She had no time to take care of it and simply asked her neighbor to install an additional lock on her door. A few days after her mother passed away, her neighbor called her and said that someone tried to break into her apartment. She called the police and had to take care of the issue despite being busy with funeral preparations. “I felt Master was right beside me and was not worried about anything,” she said.
Through studying the teachings, she slowly let go of the grudge against her other family members. She put herself in her brother’s shoes and realized that he had his own problems. She offered to help him out. Before she went back to Singapore, the police called her and said they found her car. “In Malaysia, it is virtually impossible to recover a stolen car. I knew it was found because I practiced Falun Dafa. I told my family about this miraculous experience,” she said.
New Practitioner Finds the Meaning of Life
William began practicing Falun Dafa three months ago. “I looked into different religions and many qigong practices. I went to a lot of forums and classes. Nothing offered me a satisfactory answer regarding the meaning of life,” he said. He found Falun Dafa online and attended a nine-day workshop. He said all his questions were answered.
He used to slack off and often felt lethargic. After he read the teachings and did the exercises, “I felt endless energy and can quickly finish my work every day,” he said.
His personality became more pleasant. “I used to like to argue with others and always had to be right. I also liked to pick on others. Now I have a peaceful personality and I can understand and embrace others’ mistakes,” he said.
Brings Lotus Flowers to Customers
Mr. Huang is in the construction inspection business and often has to go inside people’s homes. “After I persistently studied the Fa and did the exercises every day, the job got easier. I used to run into homeowners who disliked everything. Now the construction quality improved and my job is easier.”
“I was always the last person to leave the house because of what I did, and if the owner was satisfied and happy with the work I did, I would give them lotus flowers to congratulate them. I took the opportunity to introduce Falun Dafa to them. They almost always gladly took the flowers and repeatedly thanked me. Some of them asked me for more information, and wanted to attend the nine-day workshops,” he said.
Falun Dafa Gives Me Wisdom
Six-year-old Zhenzhen’s parents are both practitioners. Her mother took her to a Minghui School when she was eight months old. She said, “I did not know how to walk yet. I enjoyed sitting there and watching the older kids doing the exercises and listening to them reading the Fa.”
When she was older she joined the other kids and did the exercises. She said, “I remember that I felt very comfortable after doing the second and fifth exercises. I also liked to memorize the poems in Hong Yin, and could not stop once I started.”
Zhenzhen can read Zhuan Falun on her own now, “I love studying the Fa. Sometimes I go straight to my room after dinner and read the book.”
She said that Falun Dafa gives her wisdom. Her mother suggested that her older brother not dislike someone just because others did. Zhenzhen told him, “You’d do better in the practice if you could love the one you detest.”
Improving from Others’ Experience
Ms. Li said that almost everyone’s sharing helped her in some way. She learned how to better put herself in others’ shoes and be considerate, how to let go of attachments to family issues, how to rectify her every thought, and how to better clarify the truth.
Ms. Zhang prepared a talk for the conference. She said she almost gave up. “I have always felt that I was not good enough and did not do well in many ways. Now I have a change of mind. I stopped feeding negative thoughts to myself,” she said.
