Practitioners from southwest Taiwan celebrate World Falun Dafa Day.

Practitioners from Yunlin, Chiayi, and Tainan gathered at the Chiayi Minority Elementary School on the morning of May 7, 2023. They read the teachings in small groups in the morning and held a large-group experience-sharing meeting in the afternoon. Everyone said they benefited from listening to other practitioners’ cultivation experiences. They encouraged one another to cultivate diligently. At noon they formed the number “5.13” to celebrate Falun Dafa Day.

Experienced Falun Dafa’s Energy

Ying Zhen’s friend sent her a text message, saying she personally experienced Falun Dafa’s amazing energy.

Ying Zhen from Yunlin said that her friend visited her and they talked about Falun Dafa. Her friend was puzzled and asked many questions. Ying Zhen knew that she had been misled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s lies. She explained to her friend in detail how the CCP spread rumors, slandered, and orchestrated the “self-immolation hoax” on Tiananmen Square to slander Falun Dafa and how the CCP cruelly persecutes practitioners.

Throughout her visit, her friend appeared very uncomfortable. She kept moving her body and even sat on the floor hugging her abdomen. After Ying Zhen finished clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa, her friend let out a long sigh of relief and looked happy. She said, “You have such strong energy!”

She said, “Ying Zhen, thank you. I experienced personally Falun Dafa’s energy today. This is really miraculous. My abdomen no longer hurts. This is incredible.”

This friend always suffers unbearable pain whenever her period came. She was often in so much pain that she even rolled around in bed. She happened to be on her period when she visited Ying Zhen. She said her abdomen stopped hurting after she listened to Ying Zhen. She felt she personally experienced Dafa’s amazing energy.

The Whole Family Benefits from Falun Dafa

Ms. Wu Xiulian from Vietnam is studying at the Chengda Chinese Center. She began practicing Falun Dafa in 2012 and now her whole family practices. She said that her brother was plagued with ailments and a weak body since he was born. The family’s savings were exhausted. Their parents read the Fa to her brother and played recordings of Master’s lectures and Dafa music for him. His health gradually improved and the family’s wish to cultivate became steadfast. Her brother started practicing when he was three years old. He is now nine years old and follows their parents to read the Fa and do the exercises every night. He often scores full marks in school.

Ms. Wu said she was able to learn to read Chinese within three months. A year later, she and her sister could clarify the truth to people in China and help them quit the CCP. During the four years that she made truth-clarifying phone calls, udumbara flowers appeared in her house every year.

Tempers Change for the Better and the Family Is Harmonious

Ms. Xiu Zhen sincerely wishes Master a happy birthday.

Ms. Xiu Zhen from Yunlin started practicing Falun Dafa more than a decade ago when her friend gave her a copy of Zhuan Falun. What was strange is that she didn’t like to read books, but she actually finished reading Zhuan Falun. She said she was drawn to the content of the book and found it amazing.

She was plagued by ailments and frequently needed to visit doctors. “I often wondered why humans suffer. I admired other people’s good health. Although I knew that this hardship was because of the karma I generated in my past lives, I thought that I could repay it by being a vegetarian. However, through studying the Fa, I learned that only through true cultivation can human beings get rid of their karma,” she said.

Before she began practicing Falun Dafa, Ms. Xiu Zhen had a bad temper. She often got angry and impatient with her children. She frequently spanked and scolded them. After she read Zhuan Falun she was guided by the teachings to cultivate her character. Before long, her mind and body were cleansed. She became healthy and her temper improved.

She often listened to Minghui Radio. She learned to look within and reminded herself to practice Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Whenever she meets with problems, she first looks within herself. She also understood how to educate her children and how to solidly cultivate herself.

After she changed, so did her children. Ms. Xiu Zhen’s daughter, who is in secondary school, changed from a rebellious child who refused to listen, to a young lady that can think of others, put others before herself, and is kind and considerate. When she returns home during the holidays, she does the Falun Dafa exercises in the morning with her mother and sister. Ms. Xiu Zhen was elated at this change.
