United States: Experience Sharing Conference in Indiana Helps Practitioners Improve

After holding a Shenyun Performing Arts show, Falun Dafa practitioners in the state of Indiana have improved their xinxing and their understandings of Fa rectification. Many wrote about their experiences for the Mid-US Fa conference in 2009, but some articles were not read at the conference due to limited time. Practitioners in Indiana thus decided to hold a local Fa conference so practitioners would have a chance to listen to the articles that were left out. On October 18th, 2009, more than twenty practitioners spoke at the Indiana local conference.

Ms. Wei talked about how she improved her xinxing in front of her mother-in-law. She also talked about how she faced conflicts between herself and a practitioner's daughter.

Eighty year-old Ms. He talked about the process of her understanding the Fa and understanding what cultivation really is. She mentioned that she came across barriers while learning the Fa like studying it like an ordinary subject, and several times she struggled with her illnesses.

Falun Dafa helped Ms. Li rid herself of many illnesses. She decided to validate the Fa and participate in many projects to save more people.

Ms. Wang recently came from China. With tears on her cheeks, she explained how she became selfless in the process of distributing Falun Dafa fliers in China. She utilised every means possible to help others understand Falun Dafa. Ms. Wang has so far helped over 100 people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organisations.

Several senior practitioners didn't have the opportunity to help spread the truth of Falun Dafa and the persecution in China. They don't drive or speak English. But their trust in the Fa helped them do many other things and coordinate with other practitioners.

Several practitioners recently came to the US from China. They shared how they balance their daily lives and validating the Fa in a strange country. They have faced problems with family members and work, and tried their best to fit in with society.

A practitioner went to New York to help with Shen Yun ticket sales. He saw New York practitioners' selfless devotion and was so moved that he cried as he spoke. He found many shortcomings in his practice.

In a relaxed and peaceful environment, everyone shared their understandings of the Fa. The practitioners have improved based on the Fa and eliminated attachments, and they encouraged and helped each other find their shortcomings. They reached a common understanding on the importance of group Fa study and Fa conferences. Studying the Fa well is the only way to truly improve.
