(Minghui.org) Over 6,700 practitioners from across Taiwan gathered in Taipei on October 18 for the 2026 Taiwan Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference. Eighteen practitioners talked about how they aligned with Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

The event was held at the Taipei Heping Basketball Gymnasium, and the atmosphere was solemn and magnificent. A portrait of Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, was hung in the center of the stage. On both sides was a poem:

The practitioners shared how they improved their character according to Falun Dafa’s teachings. Despite the ongoing suppression by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), they are able to stay diligent and persevere while overcoming difficulties in the face of danger and pressure. Some practitioners talked about their experiences while promoting Shen Yun and telling people about Falun Dafa. Their sincere sharing resonated with many attendees.

Assimilating to Dafa's Teachings

Li Jianhao, who has practiced Falun Dafa for 24 years, currently works in a media advertising department. He realized that in the process of validating the Fa and doing business, he can easily fall into negative emotions and old mindsets when he encounters difficulties. “When I feel difficulties in my heart, how should I look at the problem from the Fa's perspective?” he said.

Through reading Zhuan Falun (the main teachings of Falun Dafa), Li said he gained a deeper understanding of the Fa’s principles, and realized that they amount to the highest guide for overcoming trials, making decisions, cultivating one’s heart, and letting go of attachments. Only by keeping the Fa in one’s heart and firmly remembering the Fa’s principles, can practitioners compare everything to the Fa and constantly improve their character.

This year, in addition to reading Zhuan Falun every day, Li has started memorizing the Fa. He said he’s felt the improvement in his xinxing and experienced a breakthrough in his cultivation environment. He said, “Whenever I encounter difficulties, I memorize the Fa—I memorize it while riding a bike, while walking, and especially before business visits.

“Reciting the Fa makes things less difficult, which was really helpful. Reciting the Fa helped me get rid of my fear of difficulties, my attachment to gain and loss, my sense of loss, and my negative thoughts.”

He said, “Reciting the Fa is not about rushing to solve problems, but about our unwavering faith in Dafa and our determination to assimilate to the Fa principles.”

He Yuan began practicing Falun Dafa 26 years ago, when he was a college senior. He reads one lecture of Zhuan Falun every day. In order to improve his cultivation, he began reading three lectures a day. Over the past 20 years, he has read Zhuan Falun more than a thousand times. However, the problem of distraction has troubled him for a long time.

He decided to start memorizing the Fa so that he could focus. He initially planned to memorize two sections a day, and after a while he increased it to four sections a day. He said that memorizing the Fa also had another benefit. He was able to pass tests each day, because if he didn’t pass the test well, he would have trouble memorizing the Fa.

He recalled an incident where he was harshly criticized by a colleague on a project. He was very angry and couldn’t memorize the teachings that night. He realized that something was wrong. He looked inward and was able to find a hidden attachment. But then he thought, “I just want to do things well, what’s wrong with that? How can this be an attachment?”

“No, I must still have human attachments. Otherwise, why can’t I concentrate on studying the Fa?” he told himself. “Looking inward again, I finally discovered the ‘ego’ that only wanted to act in my own way. I should broaden my tolerance. Even if the other person does something wrong, I should try to make up for it.”

As his resentment gradually subsided, he was able to recite the Fa smoothly again. He emphasized that reciting the Fa was an effective way to help pass tests.

Faith in Master and Dafa Brings a New Life

Faced with sudden life-or-death trials, people often feel vulnerable and helpless. But for Zhuang Boyin from Kaohsiung and Chien Lien-yin from New Taipei, it was a miraculous journey of rebirth. Thanks to Falun Dafa, they found meaning and direction in life after they experienced trauma.

Zhuang, a cyclist, was involved in a collision with a truck while he was training in July 2024. He was thrown into the air and crashed into a roadside guardrail, resulting in severe hemothorax and a grade IV liver rupture. After three days in the intensive care unit, he was transferred to a regular ward. He was extremely weak, and even getting up to use the toilet was very difficult.

Zhuang had just come into contact with Falun Dafa and learned the exercises. During his hospitalization, his father brought him a copy of Zhuan Falun. In just 10 days, he read the book three times and persisted in doing the exercises every day, even though it was excruciatingly painful. His body recovered rapidly. The day after he was discharged, he resumed training.

Amazingly, two and a half months later, with renewed confidence and strength, he returned to competition and won second place. His fellow cyclists, who knew of his condition, marveled at this miracle, as he had been critically injured.

Chien Lien-yin shared an experience from three years ago. At the time, she was six months pregnant and suddenly experienced heavy bleeding. Following her doctor’s advice, she was hospitalized to protect the baby. However, a pregnancy crisis occurred, and she had to undergo an emergency Cesarean section.

The baby was born prematurely at just over 27 weeks, weighing only 1,157 grams (2 pounds, 3 ounces). Unable to breathe on its own, the baby had to remain in the intensive care unit. Looking at her tiny baby, covered in tubes, the first-time mother couldn’t help but feel heartbroken and wept.

She and her husband sincerely said, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” They also asked the nurse to play Dafa music for their daughter. Five months later, the child was able to go home, although she still needed to wear assistive devices at that time.

After returning home, Chien took meticulous care of her child and often played Master’s teachings for her. During subsequent follow-up visits, the doctors said the child’s progress was excellent: there were no signs that she was a premature baby born at 27 weeks. She’s now three years old, and recently underwent a developmental assessment. Her language skills are at the level of a five-and-a-half-year-old.

Letting Go of Ego

Yu Yicheng, a young practitioner who is pursuing a doctoral degree, began practicing Falun Dafa with his family when he was in elementary school. Three years ago, he saw photos of a traffic accident during a lecture, which triggered a strong sense of fear, occasionally accompanied by dizziness. Through studying the Fa, he realized that these feelings were not his true self. Whenever his fear surfaced, he rejected it, and he eventually eliminated it.

Yu, who was focused on academic research, was not concerned about his future income. However, the concern of those around him gradually made him anxious. Just then, his scholarship and assistant work came to an end, leaving him with no income. In addition, his doctoral dissertation topic was not approved by his supervisor, which put him under great pressure.

Yu realized that he used his achievements and other people’s affirmation to measure his own value. He decided to let go of his self-centered mentality, humbly listen to the professor’s advice, and resume his research. After adjusting his mindset, things quickly turned around. “My papers were published and I applied for scholarships. My notions were the real problem blocking my way,” he explained.

Hsiao Ting, who translates art articles for the media, talked about how she overcame her fear and spoke at an event to introduce Shen Yun.

Hsiao has always been shy. But after practicing Falun Dafa, she became cheerful and outgoing, and communicated fluently with clients in English at work. However, when fellow practitioners encouraged her to be a speaker at a Shen Yun promotion event, she felt a lot of pressure and hesitated.

Through studying the Fa, she realized that the root of her nervousness was vanity and fear. She put “self” first and did not fully understand the importance and seriousness of promoting Shen Yun. “Looking deeper, it was because I didn’t truly believe in Master and the Fa,” she said. She decided to overcome her fear and began to prepare.

When preparing her speech with the intention of sharing the beauty of Shen Yun with everyone, Hsiao wrote the presentation and speech in just two days. She also became proficient in using different software functions, and her understanding of traditional culture deepened. Her heart was filled with gratitude.
