Opening Speech from the 2005 European Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference 2005 in Stockholm

Most respected Master,
Dear fellow practitioners,

For Swedish practitioners and those from the rest of Europe, 1995 was an unforgettable year. It was in this year that our compassionate Master came to the continent of Europe. He showed the way for his disciples and He brought beauty to Europe. And now, during the ten-year anniversary of Master visiting Europe and teaching the Fa in Sweden, we hold our European Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference in the capital city, making this conference even more special and historically important.

Under the guidance and encouragement of our Master, European Dafa practitioners have gone through a very meaningful ten-year process: obtaining the Fa, spreading the Fa, defending the Fa and the current ongoing Fa-rectification. Today, Dafa Associations have been established and registered in 21 countries in Europe. “Zhuan Falun” has been translated into 17 different European languages. The European website Clear Harmony is available in 13 language versions, facilitating different European nationalities to learn the truth about Falun Dafa and exposing the persecution against Dafa disciples by the evil CCP. Falun Dafa is now rooted in 32 European countries.

The European Dafa disciples are getting better and better at understanding the Fa based on the Fa. On the journey of Fa-rectification, fellow practitioners have been working hard at doing the three things well: studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth. Rationally, the Dafa disciples are using their wisdom to expose the evil and they are clarifying the truth in many different ways to make sure more and more people are saved.

The European Dafa disciples and the Dafa disciples around the world see the bandit nature of the evil cult party more clearly than ever before. In order to help people who are confused by the party culture and so that more people are saved, fellow practitioners are right now doing their best in exposing the evil party that persecutes Dafa disciples.

During the tenth anniversary of Master's visit to Europe, practitioners from several dozen European countries, as well as outside Europe, are gathered here to exchange experiences. This is a very valuable time. Let us make our Fa Conference as Master tells us: “We should make our Fa Conferences grand gatherings in which we summarize what we've experienced and learned, find where we fall short, draw on what we have achieved, and establish the righteous thoughts of Dafa disciples."

We wish the 2005 European Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference in Stockholm complete success.

Thank you.
