Each Practitioner Is a Treasure

(Minghui.org) The call for submissions for the 2025 World Falun Dafa Day has begun, reminding me of my past experiences helping fellow practitioners organize and edit their submissions. By doing this, I have come to feel that every practitioner is a treasure. Their cultivation experiences are touching and attest to their remarkable journeys.

In recent years, I have helped different practitioners edit their personal experience-sharing. Although I haven’t worked on many, I have been deeply moved by their experiences. Each practitioner has a unique story and perspective, yet they all reflect the greatness of the Fa, Master’s compassionate protection, and their steadfast faith.

Doing this has changed my previous notion that only those who have cultivated well have meaningful stories to share. I now realize that I was wrong. Many practitioners have had profound experiences but might struggle to express themselves or even put their stories into words.

When I first began helping practitioners with their manuscripts, I sometimes noticed that they did not seem to be in a good cultivation state. I would think, “If they don’t seem to be doing well, how could they have valuable experiences to share?” At times, I even looked down on them. But as I edited what they’d written or listened to them recount their experiences, I was often amazed. Their stories captivated me, and I came to realize just how extraordinary they were. I couldn’t help but admire them, and my faith in the Fa grew even stronger.

Many of us have followed Master on the path of cultivation for 20 or even 30 years, experiencing countless difficulties and transformations. Every genuine practitioner has a story to tell—whether it is about letting go of attachments in the face of hardship, experiencing Master’s protection in life-threatening moments, or striving to embody Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in everyday life. Every step on the path of cultivation is a transformation powerful enough to shake the universe. Regardless of whether our experiences seem extraordinary or ordinary, they are precious because they reflect Master’s painstaking efforts to guide us from the human realm to the divine.

I hope fellow practitioners can set aside notions such as “I don’t know how to write,” “I have nothing to share,” “I can’t write well,” or “I don’t have time” and actively participate in this call for submissions. I also hope those who are able can assist those who struggle with writing—listen to their experiences, put their stories into words, and help ensure the quality of the manuscripts. This would also help lighten the workload for the Minghui editors.

At this critical time, when the battle between good and evil is intensifying and Master and Dafa continue to face slander and persecution, we should take this opportunity to document our cultivation experiences with sincerity. By doing so, we can dispel lies, counter false accusations, and show the world just how great Falun Dafa is.

The “Call for Submissions to Commemorate World Falun Dafa Day 2025” is a precious opportunity for practitioners around the world to unite, forming a whole to clarify the truth. I hope all practitioners can eliminate distractions, let go of attachments and notions, and actively participate in this effort. By doing so, we can bring hope and blessings to more people before the great upheaval arrives.
