(Clearwisdom.net) From August 20 to 22, the Young Falun Dafa Practitioners Summer Camp of 2004 was held at Kaohsiung. Middle school, high school and college students from every corner of Taiwan gathered together to study the Fa (1) and share experiences with each other for 3 days and 2 nights. They discussed various issues encountered by young practitioners practicing Falun Dafa in today's society, including the issues of electronic games and lust. Some of the participants were new practitioners who started practicing Falun Dafa only recently. Through group study and experience sharing, they improved their understanding of Fa rectification, clarifying the truth, sending righteous thoughts, and the mission of Dafa practitioners during the Fa Rectification period.

Young practitioners also discussed how to organize and run student clubs on campus. Currently, more than 18 universities and colleges in Taiwan have Falun Dafa clubs. Through sharing, the young practitioners learned from each other. Some clubs shared how they use concerts and movie exhibitions to clarify the truth to students and faculty members and how they clarify the truth to visiting scholars from Mainland China.
On the afternoon of August 22, a large-scale experience sharing conference was held. This was the first experience sharing conference exclusively for young practitioners. Nine students read their reports, with topics ranging from cultivating while serving in the army to clarifying truth by participating in media projects. The experience sharing report of a young practitioner in Mainland China was also read during the conference. In his report, submitted to the conference by e-mail, he shared how he clarified the truth about Falun Dafa at work. Through the summer camp, the young practitioners improved their understanding of the Fa and gained further encouragement and momentum to cultivate more diligently.
