(Clearwisdom.net) The 2001 Florida Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference was inaugurated at the Special Event Center of the University of South Florida, Tampa, on December 29. Over 600 Chinese and Western practitioners from the US, Canada, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Sweden, UK and Germany attended. Several Western practitioners who went to peacefully appeal at Tiananmen Square shared how both their xinxing levels and their understanding of how to better catch up with the Fa-rectification process had improved after the appeal. Some practitioners from art and literary circles shared their experience of flexibly using different means to widely spread Dafa to the public.

At 2:20 p.m. on the 29th, when the host announced that the revered Master Li had arrived at the conference, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Master Li stressed to students the importance of Fa-study, sending forth righteous thoughts, clarifying the truth to people in the world, and Dafa disciples' searching inward when encountering any problems. His speech allowed the practitioners to feel Master's immense compassion. Practitioners all realized that, as the Fa's rectification of the human world approaches, everyone should cherish every second and minute, study the Fa diligently and make the best use of time to clarify the truth and offer salvation to more people. Later in the afternoon, practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts three times simultaneously with practitioners around the world to eradicate all evil that damages Dafa.

On the morning of the 30th, practitioners continued to share their experiences. In the afternoon, the first joint theatrical performance by practitioners in music and art circles was held at the Center. For the first time, the artist-practitioners used the form of art performance to manifest the solemnity and sacredness of Dafa, the evil's brutal persecution of Dafa disciples, and the great compassion and forbearance that the Dafa disciples have shown during the persecution. The experience sharing conference was concluded with the chorus "Fa's rectification comes to Tiananmen" and "Falun Dafa is Good."
