The 2024 Germany Falun Dafa Experience-Sharing Conference was held in Berlin on December 28.
Practitioners Express Their Gratitude to Master
“I benefited a lot from the conference. Some practitioners described similar experiences from different angles. I admire every practitioner who talked about their experiences, and I thank them. Their experiences are precious,” Eva Marie said. She has practiced Falun Dafa for 26 years, and said she was very moved by how practitioners sincerely talked about their cultivation experiences, and how Master and Dafa guided them in their cultivation.
She said, “Our mutual support is sacred and priceless. I am very thankful that the experience-sharing conference was held in Germany again this year.”
Eva Marie felt the conference enabled practitioners to listen to each other. Because practitioners are busy and only see superficial phenomena, it might lead to some biases. Their sharings during the Fa conference connected each practitioner. “Every practitioner has their own cultivation path and have gone through various xinxing tests. Talking about our experiences enables us to learn from each other and help each other,” she said.
She feels that people benefited from, and have been uplifted by Shen Yun’s performances and artists. They also benefited from Falun Dafa. She hopes that more people will know through her sharing how she benefited from practicing Falun Dafa, how she gained dignity, and found her purpose in life. She expressed her immense gratitude to Master.
She said practitioners described how they cultivate in Falun Dafa and how they made their environments peaceful and harmonious. The practitioners expressed their gratitude to Master.
Practitioners’ Sharing Is Encouraging
Manu from Switzerland began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, and said she was moved by the practitioners’ sincere and open-hearted sharing. The conference gave her an opportunity to reflect on her own cultivation journey.
She was very impressed by a coordinator practitioner’s description of how she overcame sickness karma, “This practitioner sincerely and openly shared how she overcame hardships, passed tests and interference, and let go of her attachments. Finally she made it. I was very touched. She firmly believed in Master, which encouraged me greatly. She had hardships, but firmly believed in Master and the Fa.”
Some practitioners talked about how they looked within while having sickness karma and realized they complained while coordinating projects. That resonated with her as she was also a coordinator. “I find that my body has sickness symptoms if I’ve complained.”
Many practitioners said they should recognize and eliminate the old forces’ interference and shouldn’t just passively endure. Manu talked about having symptoms of oral inflammation that got worse. She needed to make a speech the next day during an activity before the conference. She asked Master to strengthen her and while she gave her speech, the pain disappeared. After listening to the practitioners’ sharing, she realized that she must negate the old forces’ arrangement.
Saving Sentient Beings Is Our Common Goal
Christoph is a young lawyer in Germany, and has practiced Falun Dafa for 21 years. He said, “The experience-sharing articles are very good, touching and thoughtful. I was really impressed by the practitioners’ firm belief in Master. They looked within to find their shortcomings even in the midst of hardships and the tests of sickness karma. This is inspiring.”
The practitioners shared how they cultivated and improved in their respective projects. Every one of them had their unique cultivation path. He said, “Though they come from different backgrounds and are involved in different projects, all of them wholeheartedly do the same thing – saving sentient beings.”
One practitioner shared how she coordinated several projects, and Christoph explained that he worked with her on one of these projects. He learned from her sharing how difficult it was for her. He found his own shortcomings and said, “I should have cultivated more diligently. I’d like to help her after I have learned how hard it is for her. I shouldn’t have put more pressure on her. I didn’t cooperate well and I feel ashamed. Going forward I will try my best to help her and cooperate with her.”
He felt that every practitioner made full use of their time and tried hard to fulfill their missions. He was very encouraged and was confident that he would do better.
Every Practitioner Looked Within
Mr. Luan from Germany said he listened to every practitioner’s sharing attentively, “Every practitioner’s cultivation journey is very touching. Only a genuine cultivator can go through what they have gone through. What they shared was only a tiny bit of their experiences. On this last leg of cultivation, the practitioners have done well in looking within. Their sharing is solid and in the Fa, and I learned a lot from them.” He felt that both new and veteran practitioners examined themselves and found their fundamental attachments.
One German practitioner gave up a good paying job and her comfortable cultivation environment to work for the media. She had to move and find a new place to live. He was very impressed by her story, “It’s not an issue of giving up personal interest. She understands a practitioner’s mission and responsibility, and gave up her well-paid job.”
Her boss and colleagues didn’t want her to go, and didn’t understand her motive. She clarified the truth to them and let them know about the importance role of media, and they understood her. Her boss even kept her position open for six months and held several farewell parties for her. He said, “She did an excellent job. Her boss even helped clarify the truth while he was in China. He took a taxi while he was in China, and the taxi driver attacked Falun Dafa and defamed Master. Her boss told the driver that there was a Falun Dafa practitioner in his company and she did a great job. The driver understood that the CCP lied to him.” She clarified the truth to her colleagues and they acknowledged Falun Dafa is good from their hearts. The company was blessed and expanded from 2 to 30 workers. “This is hard to achieve. The practitioner cultivated well.”
He said he identified the gap between himself and other practitioners. “They looked within and found the root cause of their issues. I couldn’t find the root cause of a tribulation which dragged on for some time until one day I learned a hard lesson. This is an issue of cultivation. When we look within from the Fa, Master will give us hints and we can find our fundamental attachments.”
