2008 European Experience Sharing Conference Held in Berlin

The 2008 European Falun Gong Experience Sharing Conference was successfully held in Berlin, Germany on November 16th. Practitioners from more than 30 countries participated in the Conference. 18 practitioners shared their own experiences and understandings of how to cultivate themselves. The Conference atmosphere was both warm and solemn. The Conference came to a successful conclusion with a reading of the Complementary Message sent by Falun Dafa's founder, Mr Li Hongzhi.

In the message, Master Li hoped practitioners in Europe would learn a great deal from the Conference; find their weaknesses while raising awareness about the persecution of Falun Dafa so that they could do even better. Master also hoped that those practitioners who are not very diligent could find the gaps in their cultivation in order to complete their historic missions.

Ten years ago, Master Li himself came to Frankfurt, Germany and held a Fa Conference in Europe. At the Conference, Master taught and explained Falun Gong. Today practitioners in Europe have already become mature and played an active role in different Fa-rectification programmes. They co-operate well with one another and always remember to cultivate themselves while working to end the persecution.

Practitioners from Sweden, Belgium, Slovakia and the Netherlands shared their own experience in working hard at unconditional co-operation during the process of their holding the Gala Spectacular performances.

A practitioner who has recently come out of mainland China talked about how she kept firm in her belief during the time when she was being persecuted.

Practitioners from Germany and Belgium shared their experiences in talking to European Members of Parliament and other people about the incident of Eutelsat shutting down New Tang Dynasty TV signal to China.

Two disciples from Switzerland and Russia who are over 70 years old respectively talked about how they persuaded Chinese people to quit the evil Chinese Communist Party and its associated organisations and patiently helped them understand the truth.

A practitioner from Spain who began to practise Falun Dafa not long before shared his delight and his experiences of telling family members and friends about the persecution.

Their speeches were so sincere and moving that they received applause and aroused sympathy from attendees.
