Ottawa, Canada: Local Experience Sharing Conference Held
By Minghui reporter Yingzhi in Ottawa
(Clearwisdom.net) A local experience sharing conference was held at
the University of Ottawa on April 27, 2008. Nine Falun Dafa practitioners shared
their cultivation experiences and insights in the past year from different
viewpoints. Ms. Zhang shared her experience and understanding in clarifying the facts
about Falun Dafa at the Parliament Hill. With her belief in Master and the Fa,
Ms. Zhang overcame numerous unimaginable difficulties, such as being unable to
ride buses due to language barrier, test of sickness karma, cold weather and so
on, and persistently went to bus stations, the Parliament Hill and other places
to clarify the truth and advice Chinese people to quit the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations in the past years. With Ms. Zhang
and other practitioners' efforts, more than 900 Chinese people from mainland
China and overseas quit the CCP organizations. A practitioner who had participated in contacting sponsors for the Chinese
New Year Spectacular performances, as well as marketing work for the Epoch
Times, also spoke. She shared her thoughts on saving sentient beings with
higher efficiency. She also talked about how to overcome difficulties to get
sponsors, and break the blockade of funds and access the media market, as well
as how to cultivate well herself in the tribulations. A western practitioner talked about how she learned to look within in the
process of cultivation. On one occasion when she painstakingly overcame a
tribulation, she learned to look within, and afterwards, she realized that she
had let go of many human attachments and sentiments. Working for the Epoch
Times, she was strongly attached to another practitioner's problem, but through
constant Fa study and looking within, she found her capacity of heart expanded,
and she had a different opinion when looking at that practitioner again. A practitioner who coordinated reporting the Chinese Spectacular shows
realized that a coordinator should be responsible to the Fa, but not be a
"good person" in the sense of everyday people. He also understood how
to let go of his human attachments and harmonize the whole. A practitioner shared her cultivation experience of being a drummer in the
Divine Land Marching Band. In the process, she got rid of her attachment of
showing off, attachment to fear and being nervous and so on. Through
participating in the Divine Land Marching Band, she cultivated herself and also
harmonized her family. Another practitioner talked about her righteous belief in Master and the Fa
enabled her to overcome a huge sickness karma, and continue walking on the path
of Fa-rectification cultivation. Young disciples recited Master's poems in Hong Yin. As a result of sharing experiences at the conference, attendees found that
they had benefited both in their individual cultivation and improvement as one
body.
