On
January 9, 2005, the Taiwan Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference
was solemnly held in the Taipei International Conference Center. More than 6,000
practitioners from across Taiwan, North America, Japan, Malaysia and other places
around the world attended the conference. The atmosphere inside the conference
hall was solemn and warm. An array of crystal clear lotus lamps on the platform
represented millions of Falun Dafa practitioners' steadfast hearts.

Mr. Lan Weigang, a lieutenant platoon leader who currently serves
at Hualian, said that initially, because of the influence of the Jiang regime's
deceptive propaganda, his division commander and other classmates had misunderstandings
towards Falun Gong and were not so friendly to him. They even criticized and accused
him together. Later, he improved his xinxing
and used his own words and deeds to clear up his classmates' and instructors'
misunderstandings about Falun Gong. One of his classmates told him, “I know many
people from different religions, but none of them is like you. Therefore, I believe
that Falun Gong is better than other schools of religion.”

giving speeches in the Fa conference
A 69-year-old lady Ms. Hsie Hsiu-ju
expressed in her speech that after she started practicing Falun Gong, all of her
illnesses disappeared and she became healthier and healthier. Previously, she
had to use her umbrella as a crutch, but now she walks with no problems at all.
Her neighbors kindly call her “young miss Hsie.” She said that she has a special
phone line dedicated to calling Mainland China and telling people, “Falun Dafa
is great!”
Ms. Chen Feng-mei is a 47-year-old tailor from Taidong. She had
suffered infantile paralysis since her childhood. When she was only 3 years old,
she got a high fever and had to depend on crutches to walk after that. She said
that when she read the book Zhuan
Falun for the first time, she felt that her questions about life were
answered. Through her practice, her migraine was gradually reduced and she is
even able to sit in the full lotus position. She also began to open her heart
and calmly accepted the reality about her disability. She also energetically rides
her motorized tricycle to spread Falun Dafa in different places. Although people
see her as a disabled person who has trouble moving around, she is indeed a happy
and healthy person.
Chang Da-shan, a Ph.D. candidate from National Tsing Hua
University at Hsin Chu, shared his experiences of his trip to Manhattan to clarify
the truth. He said that at first he felt uncomfortable seeing westerners'
cold expressions in their eyes. On several occasions, people did not accept the
truth-clarifying materials that he handed out. Later, when he realized that he
went there for the purpose of saving sentient beings, he should not have the attachment
of pride. When the great compassion emerged from the bottom of his heart, people's
attitudes toward him changed completely.
