(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners from central Taiwan gathered in a hotel conference hall in Taichung City on June 6 and 7, 2026 to share stories of their cultivation journeys. They came from different professions and were of all ages. In their sharings, they talked about how they made time to study the Fa despite their busy schedules, how they looked within for their own problems during conflicts, and how they elevated their character when clarifying the truth to non-practitioners.

After two days of intensive Fa study and interacting with other practitioners, many attendees felt that they had benefited from the event. One practitioner said that it was his first time participating in such a large event and, by listening to others’ experiences, he found that he had not taken Fa study seriously enough. Another practitioner also realized the importance of prioritizing Fa study and sending righteous thoughts, as well as letting go of the attachment to personal gain.

Falun Dafa practitioners in central Taiwan held a two-day Fa-study event at a hotel in Taichung City on June 6 and 7, 2026. On the afternoon of the second day, a large group Fa-study and experience sharing session was held in the conference hall.

No Longer Depressed

Hui is a young practitioner specializing in graphic design. Falun Dafa has helped her overcome feelings of inferiority and depression and to become genuinely cheerful. “Only through practicing Falun Dafa did I experience such a transformation,” she shared.

Hui, a native of Taichung City, had been curious about cultivation practice since childhood. In her freshman year in college she learned about Falun Dafa at a student organization fair. Dafa’s teachings inspired her, broadening her perspective, and many of her long-held questions were answered. Through the practice, her fatty liver disease was cured, and she no longer suffered from fatigue.

Before she became a practitioner, Hui described herself as extremely introverted, struggling with low self-esteem and often doubting herself. Looking back at her old photos, she saw a young person with a bitter face and low energy. “I knew that it wasn’t how I supposed to be,” she reflected.

In an attempt to solve her problems, she read books, watched videos, and sought professional help, only to realize that none of these one-sided or even extreme solutions were effective. However, she saw changes soon after she took up the practice—she became calm and was able to face conflicts without negating herself. “I became more optimistic,” she said.

The two-day event was a tremendous help to Hui. She saw the progress she’s made, and was confident that if she continued to do well in her cultivation, she will make even greater improvement.

Quitting the Addiction to Gaming

Yu, a young practitioner from Changhua County, first learned about Falun Dafa when he was in middle school. However, he didn’t practice diligently, and as a result, he strayed from his path and stopped cultivating for quite some time.

From a young age, Yu enjoyed movies and anime in which the main characters represented justice and punished evil. They became heroes worshiped by many. He’d project himself onto those characters and think of himself as better than others. After he began practicing Falun Dafa, he felt that he had enlightened to more things than other practitioners. The notion of looking down on others kept getting stronger. He even tried to compare who did better in studying the Fa. “Back then, I didn’t realize that I was attached to showing off and competition. I just wanted others to affirm and praise me, and was particularly attached to fame,” he said.

Yu was bullied in school, which led to him becoming withdrawn socially. This led to a growing addiction to virtual reality in video games and anime. Three years ago, at the age of 26, he realized he could no longer continue down this path, and he wanted to go back to cultivation. He began watching Falun Dafa videos on Ganjing World and revisited Master Li’s books. By reading three chapters of Zhuan Falun daily, he lost interest in the gaming and anime that once had consumed him, allowing his addiction to naturally fade away.

Recently, Yu participated in several Falun Dafa projects, which occupied most of his time. Although he used the remaining time to study the Fa, he felt it wasn’t enough for him to effectively clarify the truth and save people. He said that practitioners should prioritize Fa study.

After studying the Fa with other practitioners for two days, Yu was able to slowly open up his heart to other practitioners: “Talking about my shortcomings takes courage. I was able to look within and found my attachments to saving face and competitiveness. This allowed me to eliminate them bit by bit.”

Letting Go of the Attachment to Personal Gain and Treating Everyone with Kindness

Xian descended the hotel staircase with a swift and steady stride. He said, “I am 83 years old, and I don’t need to hold the handrail while going down the stairs. Practicing Falun Dafa allows me to stay healthy. My health has been especially good in the last couple of years.” He’s been a practitioners for over two decades, and he attributes the practice to not only improving his health but also helping him eliminate his attachments to self interest and concerns about his children. He said, “I don’t have anything to worry about now. The only thing I am thinking of is to be a good person and treat everyone kindly.”

Xian’s daughter’s classmate introduced his wife— who was in poor health—to Falun Dafa. Accompanying his wife to the park and meeting other practitioners inspired Xian to begin practicing as well. At the time, he was a heavy smoker who had tried to quit many times but failed. After reading Zhuan Falun for the second time, he asked himself, “Do I want to practice Falun Dafa or smoke cigarettes? Master couldn’t be more clear, I have to quit smoking if I want to practice.” He chose cultivation and was able to quit smoking.

“The teachings in the book make a lot of sense to me, and I decided to become a practitioner,” he said. He tried to be a good person and let go of the attachment to fighting for personal gain. He had two brothers, and the three of them owned and farmed a piece of land together. However, to grow more crops, his younger brother gradually took over most of Xian’s share, leaving him only a small area. This had once infuriated him, but now, he was able to let it go because he changed his way of thinking: “If I spent less time farming, I’d have more time to study the Fa and clarify the truth. Isn’t this better?”

When Xian’s mother turned 94, he moved back to his hometown to take care of her. Although his brothers lived nearby, they didn’t want to shoulder the responsibility of looking after their mother. He knew that it was his duty as a son to take care of his aging parent, and took on the task wholeheartedly.

Taking the Initiative to Save People

Juan worked in a pharmaceutical company in Taichung City. Five years ago, her younger brother introduced her to Falun Dafa. She used to be frail and delicate, but after she started practicing Falun Dafa, her coworkers noticed that she had become stronger and healthier. She used to suffer greatly from menstrual pain and needed strong painkillers to help manage the condition. Remarkably, now she doesn’t require any.

Juan recently joined a project to promote a Falun Dafa movie. She was assigned to work at the check-in desk at first. “I was feeling lucky to be assigned an easy task. Then my brother jokingly mentioned to the reporting team that they could interview me. The reporting team misunderstood him, and in the end I was asked to interview a city councilor,” she said.

It was something she’s never done before, but she learned a lot in the process. “Due to the lack of experience, I was a bit scared at first. After careful consideration, I took on the responsibility. I went home and did plenty of homework, and stopped being nervous,” she said. “The interview with the councilor went well, and it wasn’t as difficult as I’d imagined. I knew that it was Master encouraging me.”

The greatest takeaway for Juan from the group Fa study was to see she had room for improvement. She heard a practitioner talk about his experience and quickly bring up something Master said, comparing his conduct to the requirements of the Fa. This made her realize the importance of strictly following and respecting the Fa and Master.
