Taiwan: Stories of Little Practitioners at Minghui School Summer Camp in Taipei

During the 2006 summer vacation, Taipei Minghui School organised a five-day, four-night summer camp at Yonghe, from August 1st to August 5th. There were little practitioners from as far as Yilan and new little practitioners who had only attended several classes at the Taipei Minghui School. The youngest camper was only four years old. During the five days of intensive Fa-study, all students made big progress in the Fa and raised their xinxing levels. Here are a few stories that showed how these little practitioners have high enlightenment quality.

Chiachia is entering the first grade this coming fall. On the second day of camp, all the campers were doing the exercises together outdoors. I suddenly noticed that Chiachia was crying. Finally I found out that she had a sore throat and foot pain. So I tried to comfort her by saying, "You can have a rest first. If you can bear it, please come back to continue the exercise." To my surprise, shortly after I left, she rejoined the other children to do the exercises. After breakfast, we had a Fa-study session. She happily told me that she saw rainbows in the Dafa book.

Yuzhe has only been to Minghui School a few times. He is very young and doesn't talk much. One morning while doing the exercises, he said, "I am very hungry. But I must forebear it." Next, when we were doing the second set of exercises, "Falun Standing Stance," he said he saw Law Wheels and felt that his arms were light. At breakfast, I saw him lying there looking uncomfortable. I told him that we were going to study the Fa soon, and if he could, to please join the other students to study the Fa together. He immediately folded his blanket and joined the other students. Later, he made a lot of friends and played happily with other little practitioners.

Tingting is entering the fourth grade this fall. Recently, she had many little blisters on her hands and feet. Even though it was painful for her to walk, she still walked to the park to do the morning exercises to promote the Fa. At every Fa-study session, she read loudly. She shared with me that she could see a lot of Law Wheels, lotus flowers and Falun symbols in the Dafa book, as well as many Buddhas, Taos and Gods. While doing the exercises, she could see them too. High above the exercise field, Master's law body is overseeing the practitioners. She said that when some little practitioners were not concentrating while sending forth righteous thoughts, some demons would surrounded them in a circle and sing ugly songs. Some demons would irritate the little practitioners to distract them from sending forth righteous thoughts. So every little practitioner must realise the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts.

During the summer camp, we also organised a field trip to "The Forbidden City," a local tourist site, to clarify the truth to visitors from mainland China. On the bus to "The Forbidden City," some little practitioners gave their seats to older people. When they saw foreign tourists, they gave English fliers to them.

This pure cultivation environment helped me to realise my own attachments, too. For example, on one occasion I saw that the youngest practitioner was playing alone in a room while others were studying the Fa in another room. I saw that he was playing with a kind of popular card that had ugly pictures and demon-like figures. I told him that the cards were not good. But while talking to him, an idea popped into my mind: "He is playing quietly alone and isn't bothering the other practitioners who are studying the Fa. And other teachers saw him too but they didn't say anything. Why should I..." I knew this idea was totally based on selfishness and trying to shirk my responsibility for this little practitioner. After I realised this, I shared my understanding with him with a sincere attitude. Later, he agreed not to play with the cards again and he asked me to keep them.

I hope that everyone will treasure such a precious environment for little practitioners to study the Fa together and do the exercises as a group. I also hope that more predestined people can practise Falun Dafa. Here, I want to extend my appreciation to those practitioners who unselfishly contributed to the summer camp and helped us to encourage each other and progress in cultivation together.
