By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Malaysia
(Clearwisdom.net) The Malaysian Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing
Conference was held on December 7, 2008 in Kompleks Tabung Haji, a city in
northern Malaysia. Practitioners from across Malaysia and Singapore attended the
conference. Fa conference venue Fa conference venue A practitioner's family of three share their cultivation
experiences A practitioner shares her cultivation experiences Twenty practitioners shared their cultivation experiences, understanding and
insights with the audience. Most of them spoke about their experiences of
clarifying the facts about Falun Gong to Chinese tourists and local
Chinese at a tourist site. They also discussed how they improved their xinxing
while confronting people who were irrational and overbearing, and made efforts
to help more people learn the truth. Clarifying the facts at a tourist spot Ms. Li told about her experience with a rude tour guide. She said that the
tour guide attempted to snatch materials from her hand, and prevented her from
explaining the facts to Chinese tourists. He went so far as to slap her face.
Ms. Li said to the tour guide, "Thank you." The tour guide was
dumbfounded and stopped his rude behavior. Though having done what a
practitioner is supposed to do, Ms. Li did not fight back or swear back, and she
still looked within to find her own deficiencies. Chinese practitioners who do truth-clarification work at the tourist spot
sometimes have problems with the Malaysian police. Despite the language barrier,
they managed to break through their human notions and fear, and use righteous
thoughts to have the police officers learn the facts about Falun Gong. Ms. Tan
shared her experience in this regard. She said that she studies the Fa,
sends forth righteous thoughts and does the exercises on a daily basis no matter
how busy she is. Studying the Fa and clarifying the facts helped her get rid of
much fear, and also formed a solid foundation for her cultivation. Ms. Zhang is from China. She said that she often exchanged understandings
with fellow practitioners on how to do truth-clarification work even better at
the tourist site. Practitioners cooperated well together. She said the
truth-clarification work at the tourist spot has been able to keep going, and
local practitioners' unselfish coordination plays a great role. Ms. Huang from the Selangor-Kuala Lumpur area discussed the importance of the
one body of practitioners. She recounted that during a recent activity,
practitioners in the entire area let go of their ego for the first time and
actively cooperated and participated in a certain activity. That day, it rained
all the way until they reached the activity venue. During the activity, although
it was still overcast, not a single raindrop fell. The activity turned out to be
successful. Ms. Zhuo from the same area as Ms. Huang spoke about her experience preparing
to host the Divine Performing Arts performance in Malaysia early this year. She
said that she found out many of her attachments in the process. She realized
that regardless of whether it was hosting Divine Performing Arts performance,
taking part in the global "Million Signatures" campaign, or other
truth-clarification projects, of major importance is clarifying the facts to
high-ranking officials. She feels that they have not done enough in this regard
for a long time. Harmonize work and family Falun Gong practitioners' cultivation state reflects in their family life and
work. Several practitioners shared how they harmonize their work and life
through cultivation. Mr. Cai from Malacca talked about how he realized that he should rationally
validate the Fa, but not validate himself. Everybody is making use of their own
strengths and according to their practical situation, is working to harmonize
the one body, and validate the Fa well no matter where they go. He took stock of
his own situation and did well in his work, and at the same time, took part in
projects that require more practitioners' cooperation. He tried to go to the
tourist site after work to clarify the facts and distribute the Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party. After he placed the base point
correctly, the environment became harmonious. Mr. Luo's family of three shared with the audience how Dafa has changed his
family. Several months after he began practicing Falun Gong, Mr. Luo's SGPT that
has bothered him for several years miraculously dropped from 146 IU/L to normal
state 40 IU/L. Mrs. Luo spoke about how her cultivation was reflected in her
work. Her boss noticed that she was diligent in her work, and one day he gave
her some good news: the company management decided to let her take Master-degree
courses which was what she had been yearning for, and the company would pay her
tuition. But she declined the offer, because she thought she should give the
opportunity to other colleagues. The couple's seven-year-old son has been
practicing Falun Gong for over two years, and he has also learned that Falun
Dafa teaches people to cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. He said he
wants to remember Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance all the time. Ms. Chen's husband was hot-tempered. They lived in a big family and the
relationships between family members were complicated. She accumulated all kinds
of fear from living under pressure for over 30 years. She realized that she
should attach great importance to Fa-study, so that she would be aware of what
she should do in conflicts. She said, "One day, when my husband beat and
swore at me, I asked him why he beat me. I said, 'You've often beat me in the
past 30 years, but I won't fight back any more. I want to be a good person.'
Later, my husband even poured hot water on me, but unexpectedly, the water was
cold. I was quite calm at the time, but my husband was scared; he dared not
speak a word, and kept silent for three days." Ms. Chen said she found that
her environment has changed greatly since that incident, and she also noticed
that her fear was no longer there. Ms. He said that she once read a cultivation experience sharing article by a
young Dafa disciple, and she was moved to tears, as she felt that she had not
cultivated diligently. She had been asked to write out her cultivation
experience to share with fellow practitioners in a previous Fa conference, but
she always declined with the excuse that she was unable to write an experience
sharing article. When this Fa conference solicited papers, she made up her mind
to break through all kinds of notions, and wrote down her cultivation
experiences of the past years to share with practitioners. After the conference concluded, practitioners held a big group sharing in the
evening. Many practitioners said they benefited a lot from the Fa conference. In
comparing with other practitioners, they found out where they fell short and
were inspired to do better and continue striving forward.
