Once, during this period, the shopping centre coordinator had not confirmed the team members till very late. Some of them were either busy or lived in a remote place with inconvenient transport. I had to work, but I worked with him to coordinate our weekend team members. There was one practitioner who didn’t live in London, and would be late due to the traffic. He lived north of London, while I was in the northwest. I wanted to go to his city to pick him up, then I would drive to London. It was a bit of a detour, but was still feasible, so I contacted him and promised I would go to his house to pick him up and go to the shopping centre together.

One day, my usually mild-tempered husband suddenly started to criticise and scold me for no reason. I vigorously argued with him, and the situation escalated. Seeing that I wouldn't stop, my husband suddenly said, "Aren't you practicing Falun Dafa?" I immediately replied, "That has nothing to do with my practice." He looked stunned for a moment and walked away. As I studied Zhuan Falun, every word and sentence struck my stubborn human attachments, and I asked myself, "How could I argue without any reservations like an ordinary person? Is this how a true cultivator behaves?"

After thoroughly looking within, I realised that behind this seemingly small task lay so many of my attachments. Once I straightened out my mentality, I opened my computer to purchase the display racks. This time, among the numerous options, I easily selected the suitable products. The rest of the process went smoothly as well. The received display racks were perfect for our needs, and every single rack found its purpose. Not a single penny was wasted.

To be able to participate in Shen Yun and Dafa projects is a great honor and a unique and priceless opportunity. Among the countless and infinite sentient beings in the cosmos, I have the opportunity to be a Dafa Disciple of the Fa Rectification Period and to be able to assist Master in this special historical period. How many beings are there in the cosmos? Master is offering us great honors and I have to live up to this.

I am a young Chinese practitioner born in 2002. I obtained the Fa while attending university in China in 2022. After half a year of practicing Falun Dafa, I came to France for an exchange program. Here, I will share my cultivation experiences, including my pursuit of Dafa during my growth and the truth clarification efforts I engaged in at school and the "End CCP" signature collection project on Facebook.

During my cultivation journey, I have experienced so many things and have often heard from other practitioners about different phenomena such as the attachment to doing things. But when you really experience them yourself, it is another thing than to just hear about it.

I was afraid of making mistakes because that in turn meant loss of face. Later, I understood that I had too little faith in my fellow practitioners. When they see my numerous mistakes, they will react according to the Fa, because they are disciples of the same Master. Why the fear? Our Master encourages us to go our own way, and my understandings in the Fa show me the way to guide my fellow practitioners well: by cultivating openly and sincerely, as our revered Master teaches us.

I know that the desire to show oneself off  is a very bad thing, it's very vicious, and I want to get rid of it. Since it is linked to many other attachments, it is not so easy to get rid of it. But if the mind is clear, then you can suppress bad thoughts related to the desire to show off and not let them manipulate you. It is such a wonderful feeling when you are free of that substance, and you become indifferent to worldly fame and profit, and you are filled with good energy. Of course, this process is slow, and you can not get rid of all the bad things immediately, but if you cultivate diligently, you can achieve high standards.

I have realized that this trust is a manifestation of forbearance. As I have to endure in the process. I have to have the patience to carry everything on until the manifestation on the surface also shows itself. It is important that I do not do the tasks as work, but with a righteous attitude and clarity of mind and that I look inwards when there are conflicts. And this half year with all its experiences, has also clearly shown me again that no matter how arduous my life is at the moment, as soon as I do the three things, everything is harmonized and I receive wisdom and serenity. 

From obtaining the Fa to the present, the journey has been full of stumbling blocks. Each step has never been reached without Master's care and empowerment. Cultivation is like rowing against the current. But with Master by our side, what seemed impossible can become possible. When we comply with the Fa, Master can do anything. It is because of compassionate Master that I have been given opportunities to purify myself during this process, so that I can ultimately return home with Master.

All this time Shifu was helping me, by holding my throat and raising part of it so I could speak how He wanted me to speak. Now, he was letting go and letting me do this by myself, without the help, thus I didn’t feel the hand on my throat anymore and it was actually harder to make the right voice. What seems like a "test" might be a blessing from above, and a so-called "blessing" might be the real test.

  As a cultivator, I should not be in contention with an ordinary person. From a cultivation perspective, my competitive mentality arose just because my appointment was postponed. How could I run Tianti Bookstore with such a mindset? Looking inward, I also saw that although I diligently studied the Fa and practiced the exercises every day, when dealing with matters, especially when the other party didn't know I was a Falun Dafa practitioner, I seemed to exempt myself from adhering to Dafa's principles. This was a clear case of not genuinely cultivating.

We are Dafa Dizi and our hearts are devoted to assisting Master. When we truly put Dafa first, help comes to us. This is what we clearly felt because when the Shen Yun tour in Spain ended this year and we returned home suddenly more orders started coming in to our business, my daughter was able to take her exams and got very good grades, and my husband's family has seen that closing the business for 2 weeks didn't hurt us and commented on how nice the Shen Yun commercials looked on TV.

How far was I from enlightenment anyway, when I can't even let go of this hidden "heart of complaint" and these things? Are there other attachments that I had not realized? Was the "heart of grievance" the real attachment, or were there deeper attachments? Can I still cultivate at all, can I even reach the ultimate goal of cultivation? Doubts arose in me for the first time. 

Having obtained the Fa for two years, I am filled with gratitude. I deeply admire those veteran practitioners who started their cultivation journey right after Master first taught the Fa. It was not easy for me to obtain the Fa; I entered when I had no other way. I cherish this final period of the Fa-rectification, knowing that I must diligently cultivate myself during this time.
