Taipei Ten Districts’ Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference
Organizers of the experience-sharing conference played a short movie, “Time” from Shen Yun Zuo Pin, (ShenYunCreations.com –a streaming platform from Shen Yun). “Time” describes how Shen Yun artists treasure every minute. The protagonist of the short movie encouraged everyone to stay positive and make good use of time.
Xiang Feng is a Falun Dafa practitioner who serves in the military. He shared that he had always wanted to promote Shen Yun to people in mainstream society but seldom had an opportunity to meet such people. Xiang was distributing flyers to promote Shen Yun in Taipei Expo Park one day when he saw a Lions Club. He spoke with the Lions Club organizer, who then introduced Xiang to a well-known person. That person invited Xiang for tea, giving Xiang an opportunity to clarify the truth.
When Xiang and his wife ran into the chief executive officer of his wife’s company, Xiang mustered up his courage and introduced himself. To his surprise, the executive was very enthusiastic and even asked to take a picture with Xiang. He said he was predestined to meet Xiang. The two exchanged contact information and set a date for Xiang to promote Shen Yun at his wife’s company.
Xiang said that Master will arrange everything as long as one has the heart for it. “We should promote Shen Yun to mainstream society.” He also said that practitioners should have high self-esteem. “Falun Dafa practitioners are part of mainstream society because we spread true, traditional values.”
While promoting Shen Yun to mainstream society, Xiang realized that he had the attachment of zealotry and the mentality of showing off. He said he needed to be alert and needed to eliminate his attachments to be more diligent in cultivation.
Jun Yi is a young practitioner majoring in information science. He was able to use his technical expertise to promote Shen Yun to people in mainstream society. Due to the effectiveness of his Shen Yun promotion, Jun Yi started to develop an attachment of showing off. Jun Yi detected this attachment and knew he needed to eliminate it. He said, “I need to cultivate solidly and do well.”
Bing Hua shared, “While Shen Yun was performing in Miaoli County, a gentleman hurried into the theater and wanted to purchase tickets. It just so happened that the Shen Yun Promotion team was there and they were able to help him. The man had done some research on the seating arrangements and had a specific seat and section in mind. Miraculously, the only seats left for that night’s performance were the seats the man wanted!”
The gentleman was very happy and handed his cellphone and credit card to practitioners to purchase the tickets. They were touched at how the gentleman trusted them so readily. Everyone who witnessed the transaction was very touched.
Huiling, a local coordinator who promotes Shen Yun, said she encountered intense xinxing conflicts with her best friend, who is also a practitioner. Huiling had felt really upset and didn't know what had caused the barrier between them.
Huiling knew that this was a chance to upgrade her character, so she made up her mind and called her friend to apologize. She let go of feeling that she had been treated unfairly. She said, “It was all my fault,” and the bad feelings between Huiling and her best friend dissolved.
Huiling encouraged other practitioners to make good use of their time and do well while promoting Shen Yun. “Just like the short film we just watched, we know that there is enough time for everyone. This also means that we have ample time to promote Shen Yun.”
Pei Rong shared, “We should treasure the times when we stumble in cultivation. We should reflect and see what went wrong. We also need to eliminate any attachments that surface and upgrade our character. We should look at everything positively.”
The sharing conference ended just after noon. Those who attended felt that they benefitted a lot from encouraging each other in their cultivation.
