(Clearwisdom.net) Starting on November 1, 2008, articles from the Fifth Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China were published on the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net). Over ten thousand articles have been submitted. They reveal Dafa disciples' maturity in their cultivation and persistent validation of Dafa. It is the largest gathering of experience-sharing for Falun Dafa practitioners in China since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999.

Since the inauguration of the conference in October 2004, more and more Falun Gong practitioners have broken through the Internet blockade, and the Minghui website editors have been receiving an increasing number of submissions of ever-improving quality every year.

According one of the editors involved in examining submissions, the number of submissions this year is the largest so far. More than ten thousand submissions have been received from practitioners of all circles of life and ages around the nation. Some practitioners have been practicing for many years, some are catching up after falling behind, and some are new practitioners. The submissions showed that Falun Dafa has won peoples' hearts, and practitioners have become mature. The submissions this year are generally of great quality. They reflect a spirit of firmness and rationality, a peaceful spectacle.

Ms. Liu, a Falun Gong practitioner in Chicago, said she was greatly touched by her fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts and righteous actions. She said their righteous thoughts could change people's hearts because they had reached a high realm. She learned many new ways to validate the Fa from the rich experience-sharing. She said it is only when you read the articles with a peaceful mind that you feel the heart-shaking effect of the sharing, and she hopes that practitioners overseas will read them. The ways of validating the Fa overseas are different than in China but share the same nature. We all need to cultivate ourselves well, and reading the sharings is very helpful. Ms. Liu and her family also hope that more fellow practitioners overseas will pick up the phone and call people in China to clarify the true story of Falun Gong, and show support of their fellow practitioners in China.

Ms. Yang in Washington D.C. is a Falun Gong practitioner in her sixties. She said that the sharings were very touching, and that Falun Dafa disciples in China are great! They stood fast to validate the Fa under such harsh circumstances. Truth-clarification materials are printed everywhere, and the evil forces aren't capable of stifling all of the widely-located printing centers. Ms. Yang carefully reads the sharings every day and feels greatly encouraged.
