(Minghui.org) As the New Year approaches, Falun Dafa practitioners from Yunlin, Chiayi, and Tianan counties in Taiwan wished Master Li a happy New Year and expressed their gratitude to him on December 22, 2024. They gathered at the National Tseng-Wen Senior Agricultural & Industrial Vocational School in Tainan, studied the Fa teachings, and discussed their cultivation experiences.

Several practitioners described how they look inward, get rid of attachments, and practice Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance in their daily lives. They are grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation and divine grace. They work hard to do the three things well and fulfill their prehistoric vows.

Raising Awareness of the Persecution

Shuchen shared her experience of screening the documentary film State Organs, Unmasking Transplant Abuse in China. She said, “The film crew came to Tainan to share their experience. I was really touched when I heard it, and it awakened my sense of responsibility and mission.”

The screening of the documentary State Organs across Taiwan in October irritated the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Fearing that its evil deeds would be exposed, they left messages such as “breaking in to hack or shoot people, placing bombs, throwing petrol bombs” in emails and registration forms. They also threatened the Presidential Office, the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the legislative body, theaters, schools, and the media to try to stop the film from being shown and the media from reporting on it.

Shuchen said, “We are not afraid of intimidation. Instead, we have received support from all walks of life and increased the number of screenings. We have continued to show it. About 200 to 300 people come to see it each time, especially young people. At each viewing, I am very touched that so many sentient beings have come to learn about the CCP’s atrocity.”

The film has received widespread support since its release. She said, “During the promotion, my greatest feeling was that many people were very moved and grateful to have seen the movie. They often mentioned that, because of this movie, they learned about Falun Gong and how brutal the CCP’s persecution is.

“Some people used to mistakenly think that Falun Gong was engaged in politics. But after seeing the movie, they understand that when Falun Gong practitioners face the persecution, they have a peaceful attitude with no resentment, which deeply touches people. They come to recognize the spiritual connotation of Dafa.”

Promoting Shen Yun

Hsiaoping is a primary school principal. She knows that Shen Yun’s mission is to revive traditional Chinese culture, which is also her mission as the head of her school. She took the initiative to promote Shen Yun.

She said, “I am responsible for selling tickets and organizing a team to promote Shen Yun. Sometimes I encounter difficulties, different opinions, criticism, and other tests. I realize that it is a good opportunity for me to improve, and I also understand how difficult it is to be a coordinator.”

She remarked, “Every time I watch the Shen Yun program ‘Mission Accomplished,’ I cry. After watching it, I realized that promoting Shen Yun is a powerful way to clarify the truth. I am grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we can be Dafa practitioners in the Fa-rectification period. Thank you, Master!”

Eliminating Fear

Yuemei said she was afraid of discussing her cultivation experiences with other practitioners. She realized, “You need to be brave and get rid of your fear mentality, because if you dare not speak out, you will miss many opportunities to correct your mistakes. If you communicate, other practitioners will help correct you if you make mistakes. This is a good opportunity to improve yourself. If you don’t communicate and don’t realize that you may be going astray, it will be dangerous.”

She gave an example of a practitioner who didn’t often come out to practice the exercises with everyone. His movements when he did the fifth exercise were wrong. After practicing for five years, he was corrected during a group exercise. She feels this is why Master wants us to study the Fa and practice together. We can learn and practice together, promote each other, and strive for progress.

Yinhsue said, “Having worked in the media for a long time, I know very well that this is my mission. However, I also discovered that I had a work-prone mentality, and other practitioners pointed this out several times. As the New Year is approaching, I want to set strict standards for myself, meet Master’s requirements for us, and improve quickly. I would like to thank Master for his kindness and wish him a happy New Year!”

Tzuchiang started practicing in February this year. He said that, before he began practicing, he had many bad habits, such as playing mahjong, gambling, and being greedy. But after practicing, he stopped these bad habits.

He said, “Before I practiced, I often got sick and caught colds. Every time I caught a cold, it would take about two weeks to get better after taking medicine and seeing a doctor. After practicing, even if I don’t take medicine, I get better in about three days. The same is true for injuries, which heal quickly.” He deeply felt the power of Dafa and was grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation.
