(Clearwisdom.net) On a trip to Moscow in September 2003, I had a chance to meet with practitioners there. They have never seen Master Li in person or traveled to China or the United States, yet our fellow practitioners felt that Teacher was always with them.

On an autumn day, Moscow practitioners gathered in the Botanical Gardens for their weekly two hour long group practice. They hand out flyers to people passing by. Spiritual self-cultivation is part of Russian culture and the word self-cultivation is commonly used in the language and classic literature. There are well know writers, artists, and thinkers in Russian history that traveled throughout parts of Asia, such as India and China, bringing back Taoist and Buddhist principles.

Russian practitioners' dedication to cultivating in Dafa was a great validation of Dafa and the power of Truth-Compassion-Tolerance.
