Vietnam: First Fa Conference in Vietnam Held in Hanoi

On May 10th, 2009, the first Vietnam Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference was held in Hanoi, the capital. Nearly 150 practitioners from many cities and provinces came to attend this solemn Fa Conference together, sharing cultivation experiences so that they could learn and see their own shortcomings and do things better in the future. Practitioners also took this event as an opportunity to express best wishes and to pay their highest respects to their benevolent Master for the coming May 13th.

The conference began with the group reciting Lunyu together after sending forth righteous thoughts. Then came the main cultivation sharing part.

There were about a dozen papers presented by practitioners from Hanoi, Saigon, Da Nang, Hai Duong, Vung Tau, Binh Da, and even one from a Vietnamese practitioner living in Germany, and one from a Vietnamese practitioner working in Russia. The articles were so touching that many in attendance could not hold back their tears while feeling the greatness and benevolence of Dafa and of Master Li.

Most of the articles were written by newer practitioners. A practitioner who had been practising Dafa less than two years had a long article talking about the importance of truth clarification, and encouraged practitioners to step out to fulfill the vows made in remote history. Another practitioner talked about her experience in truth clarification to Chinese people visiting Vietnam. A young practitioner in Saigon shared how he overcame difficulties in order to do truth clarification in his area. A senior practitioner - who had been practicing for one year - shared his experience in practicing the Dafa exercises daily in a public park in a group and his experience in introducing Dafa to relatives and friends. Many other aspects of cultivation were also touched upon in the speeches: balancing work in society and Dafa work, having a bigger and bigger heart when dealing with family issues, the importance of cultivating speech (xiukou), breaking through humanness in order to assimilate to the Fa, memorizing the book Zhuan Falun, etc.

After attending the Fa Conference, practitioners benefited greatly and determined to be more diligent, to follow the Fa Rectification's progress more and more closely.

After sending forth righteous thoughts at 5:15 p.m., the Fa Conference closed, then practitioners took photos while holding banners and sending best wishes for Dafa Day on May 13th.

We are all very grateful for Master for giving us this opportunity, and we will do even better in the future.
