New Years Fa-Study and Experience Sharing in Queensland, Australia
By Australian Dafa practitioner Qingxin
(Clearwisdom.net) In order to gain a deeper understanding of our cultivation in Falun Dafa
and the requirement of practitioners during the current Fa-rectification period, both Chinese and
Western practitioners from Queensland, Australia held a Fa-study and experience sharing conference
on New Years Day of 2003. We believed that this would enable us to improve as a whole body, realize
our opportunity to cultivate in the Fa-rectification period, to not let down Teacher's benevolent
salvation and all sentient beings' expectations and to do well in the last period of Fa-rectification.
It helped improve our understanding from different aspects such as cultivation in the Fa-rectification
period from the perspective of the Fa, looking inward when coming across problems, upgrading as a
whole body, rejecting and breaking the old forces' arrangements, etc. In the conference, practitioners first studied Teacher's Fa Lecture in Florida and the recent Fa
Lecture at the Philadelphia Fa Conference together. They then held discussions about several
particular issues: 1. What are the differences of cultivation in the Fa rectification period and that of ordinary
cultivation and how do these differences manifest? 2. How to correctly position the issues of looking inward, been responsible for Dafa, and been
responsible for fellow practitioners? 3. What is the meaning of upgrading as a whole body? As practitioners, how can every one of us
make an effort so that we can upgrade as a whole body more effectively? 4. What are the arrangements of the old forces? How can we keep a clear mind while cultivating
during the Fa rectification period and how do we recognize, reject and break through the old forces'
arrangements? 5. How do we understand Teacher's "stepping out of humanness" and how do we cultivate
according to this principle? Many practitioners shared their experiences about what they had enlightened to within the Fa and
their understanding of the Fa rectification courses. Our experiences enabled us to enlighten and
improve with each other. Some practitioners also discussed some conflicts that had arose amongst
practitioners and talked about their personal understanding, they then compassionately brought
forward some suggestions about how these situations could be improved. The whole conference was very
serene, understanding and tolerant. Through experience sharing, practitioners came to further understand that rejecting the old
forces' arrangement definitely could not just rest on words. Instead, we should truly understand
what the old forces' arrangements are and thus we will be able to reject them with Dafa and
righteous thoughts. Practitioners also realized that the way that divine beings deal with things, which Teacher
talked about in the Philadelphia Fa Conference is actually the requirement for our Dafa
practitioners. We should treat our fellow practitioners and other beings with great compassion and
do our best to unconditionally and silently make up for any shortages that we come across while we
carry out our Fa rectification activities. We should just do what we should as Falun Dafa
practitioners. This was a successful Fa study and experience sharing conference and helped the improvement of
Dafa practitioners as a whole body.
