(Minghui.org) Practitioners who coordinate Falun Dafa practice sites in Malaysia held an experience-sharing conference in Kuala Lumpur on November 22 and 23, 2025. Coordinators from practice sites in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Perak, Johor Bahru, and even as far away as Sabah in East Malaysia met and studied the Fa, and discussed their cultivation experiences. They talked about their responsibilities as coordinators, how to care for and assist other practitioners, look within, and cooperate as one body. They said they clearly saw the gaps in their cultivation.
Coordinator practitioners in Malaysia held a conference in Kuala Lumpur on November 22 and 23, 2025.
Maintaining a Group Practice Site for More Than Ten Years
Jiawei from Penang said he persisted in going to the group practice site to do the exercises for more than ten years, rain or shine. He said he was a new practitioner when the practice site was first set up, and some people misunderstood Falun Gong. He usually stood at the back and did not dare hang a banner.
“It was still dark and there were no people nearby. I hung the banner and sat down to meditate,” he recalled. From initial fear to calmly facing people, he overcame his mental blocks. When his xinxing improved, local residents changed their attitudes and greeted him kindly. The practice site and the environment gradually improved.
He said, “I was there even if it rained. Sometimes, I was the only one there.” He realized that the key to long-term persistence was his cultivation status.
He reflected on why he started practicing, and realized he wanted to benefit from Dafa. “I had selfish thoughts, and many attachments.” He realized that selfishness was basically attachment to gain and loss, as well as seeking revenge. If one participates in Dafa projects with these attachments, cultivation will be difficult.
“The basis of our cultivation should be remembering that we came to this world to cultivate. Each selfish thought is a burden. That’s also why cultivation is hard.”
Maintaining Cultivation
Raymond from Kuala Lumpur started practicing Dafa when he attended Jinan University, in Guangzhou, China, in 1997, “I realized from the Fa that while clarifying the truth about the persecution we also need to pay attention to helping people practice cultivation and maintain a stable practice site and group Fa-study site. It is essential to study the Fa, do the exercises, and introducing Dafa to the public that Master left for us.”
Raymond said that because of the diligent cultivation environment at Jinan University it was easy for him to practice Falun Dafa. He recalled, “I saw practitioners do the group practice in the stadium for the first time. I went there to practice Tai Chi, but I wished to learn to meditate. So I joined Falun Dafa practitioners and did the exercises.”
He said people did the exercises at the group practice site every morning at Jinan University. He added, “In addition, there was group Fa-study once a week. Veteran and new practitioners all came. Every week, the coordinator practitioner led others to introduce Dafa to the public in parks. The cultivation environment was stable.”
Raymond appreciated the coordinator in the early years, “I was diligent just after I started practicing. Later, I didn’t go to the group practice site often. The assistant practitioner visited me and asked what happened.”
He said emotionally, “In the cultivation environment at that time, if you didn’t show up, someone would help you and take care of you. This is the most basic cultivation form that Master left us. But now, it is hard to do so in many locations.”
He recalled, “There were often large-scale group practices in China, once a month or every three months. Everyone treasured this opportunity, even if they had to travel long distances.” What impressed him most was the group practice in Tianhe Stadium, where over 3,000 practitioners did the exercises together. That group practice scene was amazing.”
Responsibility of Assistant Practitioners
Dehui from Sabah shared her insights on cultivation and the responsibilities of assistant practitioners.
She recalled that she was happy when she went to the group practice site right after she started practicing Dafa. She was encouraged by the coordinator’s enthusiasm and righteous thoughts, and actively participated in events to introduce Falun Dafa to the public. She realized, “That enthusiasm gradually diminished and even disappeared for a while.” After she began coordinating last year she realized, “The responsibilities of assistant practitioners are important.”
In her local area, some practitioners don’t want to coordinate. She realized, “Coordinator is not a title, but having responsibilities—leading others to join cultivation.”
She gradually noted after coordinating group Fa-study that some veteran practitioners have some barriers to overcome.
She shared about a practitioner who had continued conflicts with his boss for many years. She realized, “The reason is that he did not know how to cultivate, and look within.” After discussing deeply, the practitioner spoke frankly about the true reason for not participating in group Fa-study. He was afraid of showing his weakness in Fa-study, his fear mentality, and jealousy. He even said, ‘I just know what cultivation is.’”
This made Dehui realize, “The importance of assistant practitioners, group practice sites, and group Fa-study is that they are not just formalities, but play pivotal roles in cultivation.”
Letting Go of Pursuit
Yanyan from Kuala Lumpur talked about how she overcame illness karma. She did not feel well, was suffering in pain, and had a fear mentality. She often asked other practitioners, “How do I pass the illness karma test?”
She kept studying the Fa and doing the exercises every day, and listened to other practitioners talk about their experiences. But her illness karma did not end. She was puzzled, “Why does it work for others but not me?”
She said, “I had many fears. Even though I studied the Fa, did the exercises with other practitioners, and looked within, I still suffered, and my mental state was not good.” A practitioner reminded her to study the Fa more. She followed the suggestion but there wasn’t much change. Another practitioner reminded her to look within. She was puzzled, “How do I look within? I can’t find anything.”
She later joined a group of practitioners who were reciting the Fa, and she herself truly assimilated to the Fa. She gradually realized a fundamental issue, her strong pursuit. She wished to pass the test and get better. She was looking for results.
She stopped thinking, “When will I get better,” and stopped focusing on the result. She calmly studied the Fa and did the exercises, and her thoughts became stable.
Regarding how to help practitioners in illness tribulations, she said that truly helping is not just superficial encouragement but, “To know their cultivation state and share from the Fa.”
