Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

Ziqi, who is currently in high school, said she first learned about Falun Dafa when she was in the second grade. She said, “After my mother started practicing, her mood became more stable, her health improved, and the atmosphere in our whole family became much warmer. I knew that Falun Dafa was really good, so I followed my mother and started learning the practice.”
(Minghui.org) From July 10 to 13, 2025, more than 70 young practitioners from all over Taiwan gathered at the National Chengchi University to participate in the four-day, three-night Falun Dafa Youth Practitioners Exchange Camp.
Participants consisted of high school and university young adults from various backgrounds. All shared a common aspiration to learn and practice Falun Dafa together in a collective environment, striving to improve through mutual learning and cultivation. They endeavored to remain steadfast in their righteous thoughts amidst the temptations and pressures of modern society, thereby rediscovering the original intent of their cultivation practice.

Digital Media Specialist: Overcoming Smartphone Addiction
Currently working in digital media marketing, Simin grew up in a family of practitioners, learning the practice and exercises alongside her younger siblings under her mother’s guidance. However, it was during her high school years that she began to truly contemplate the meaning of “cultivation” in her life.
Simin said that returning to her origin is the best choice she has made in her life
“At that time, I often asked myself, ‘Why do people need faith? Do I really believe in Falun Dafa? Or do I practice just because of my family?’” It was during this search for answers that Simin began to have recurring dreams about the same scene.
She said, “These dreams enlightened me. Some people I have met in this life are actually people I met in a previous life. Some have come to repay a debt of gratitude, while others have come to demand a past-due payment. The real scenes in my dreams let me know that the reincarnation and cause-and-effect relationship that Master teaches in the Fa really do exist.”
Simin still remembers a vivid dream in which she was a fairy in heaven, pushing aside the clouds beneath a large tree and gazing out over the world. “At that time, I had a strong urge to go down and take a look. This memory evoked a familiar feeling deep in my heart. We did not come to this world by chance. Many lives actually came from heaven with a mission.” As she continued to study the Fa, Simin became more convinced that returning to her origin is the most correct choice for her.
This opportunity to study the Fa and exchange experiences with other young students has made Simin feel particularly grateful.
She said, “What left the most profound impression on me was the discussion about smartphone addiction. For our generation, smartphones are a tool that is universally needed. Many participants shared their methods for reducing excessive use, some through self-discipline, others through Fa study and doing the exercises, and many more by looking inward to identify the underlying emotional attachments tied to their phones, thereby eliminating these attachments at their root.
“After listening, I gained a lot of insight and realized that there are so many people my age who are also striving to break through these challenges. This has been a great source of encouragement and support for me.”
Computer Engineer: Returning to Cultivation and Showing Compassion at Work
Engineer Zhenglin was introduced to Falun Dafa at an early age by his father, but he admits that he did not truly practice it at that time. “I was more like someone who knew about Falun Dafa, but I didn’t really understand its meaning.”
Zhenglin, who has returned to cultivation, shares his experience of demonstrating kindness at work
After entering the workforce, Zheng Lin found himself overwhelmed by a busy schedule and mundane tasks, which took a toll on his health.
He said, “In 2024, my body started to show signs of trouble. I began to feel stomach discomfort, and that’s when I suddenly remembered Falun Dafa. At first, I only wanted to alleviate my physical pain, not with the intention of truly cultivating myself. Later, when I truly let go of the desire to cure my illness and simply focused on returning to cultivation, my health began to improve. Now, my stomach is completely fine.”
After returning to cultivation, Zhenglin gained a completely different understanding. “Now, I truly realize the seriousness of cultivation and strive to follow the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance.” At work, he learned to reflect on himself, be more tolerant and understanding of others, and began to actively care for his colleagues and help others, demonstrating the kindness and compassion of a cultivator through his actions.
When talking about what he gained from the youth camp, he shared, “I had always been troubled by why I often felt sleepy when studying the Fa. It wasn’t until yesterday that I realized that although I was reading the Fa, my thoughts were not focused, and my mind was wandering, allowing external substances to interfere.”
So he paid more attention to his thoughts, and whenever he found himself distracted, he immediately went back and reread the passages he had missed. Zhenglin smiled and said, “My study of the Fa is much better now. I feel like I’ve found the key to breaking through, and I’m really happy.”
Stylist: After 20 Years of Searching, I Finally Found the Answer in Dafa
Jialing, who works as a stylist, shares her journey into Dafa cultivation, laughing as she recounts that she searched for more than 20 years before finally discovering Falun Dafa.
Jialing said that Falun Dafa is the high-level practice she has been searching for.
Jialing said that she had been curious about the universe and life since she was very young, but that she could never find true faith. At the peak of her career, she fell into a period of extreme depression and had thoughts of suicide. During that darkest period of her life, a friend introduced her to a workshop where the instructor led the participants in reading Zhuan Falun.
She said, “When I read “On Dafa”, I felt as if the heavens and earth had been shaken. I immediately knew that this was what I had spent more than twenty years searching for. That same day, I brought home the precious book Zhuan Falun. After reading it, I had only one thought: I must practice Dafa.”
After practicing for a short time, Jialing not only became more cheerful and confident, but her physical condition also improved significantly. Issues such as stiff shoulders and neck, migraines, fatigue, insomnia, and depression that she had suffered from for more than a decade were alleviated. She also stopped spending hundreds of dollars each month on nutritional supplements and chiropractic visits.
She felt very fortunate to be able to participate in the youth camp. She said, “Being able to communicate face-to-face with fellow practitioners of the same generation, and discuss how to persevere on the path of cultivation in an environment full of temptations, has benefited me greatly. I have also seen the power of mutual encouragement and improvement among fellow practitioners.”
Sisters Walk the Cultivation Path Together: Family Becomes More Harmonious
Ziqi, who is currently in high school, said she first learned about Falun Dafa when she was in the second grade. She said, “After my mother started practicing, her mood became more stable, her health improved, and the atmosphere in our whole family became much warmer. I knew that Falun Dafa was really good, so I followed my mother and started learning the practice.”
Ziqi (left) and her younger sister Ziyuan (right) are making progress together in their cultivation practice.
Ziqi recalls that during her third year of middle school, she felt incredibly anxious about the pressure of the high school entrance exams. She spent every day buried in her studies, constantly worried about performing poorly on the exams, and her anxiety was so severe that she couldn’t sleep and would cry in private.
“In such circumstances, I discovered that by studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, my emotions would become calmer. It felt as though there was a force stabilizing me, preventing me from feeling so tense. It was then that I truly understood that cultivation could fundamentally help me adjust my state, and I also felt that Master had been by my side all along, helping me overcome the difficulties.”
Her younger sister, Ziyuan, is also steadily advancing in her cultivation practice alongside her. She shared that once, when she was feeling unwell with a fever, her mother reminded her to silently recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” To her surprise, she woke up the next day completely recovered, which allowed her to experience the wonder of Falun Dafa personally.
Both sisters gained a lot from participating in the youth camp. Ziqi said that she used to blame others when conflicts arose. But at the camp, she learned to look inward. “Once, my sister couldn’t sit still, and I was about to blame her, but then I suddenly thought, ‘Maybe I didn’t listen carefully to what others were saying, which made her feel bored?’” She said with surprise that this ability to reflect on herself was something she had never experienced before.
Young practitioners from different age groups and backgrounds have found inner stability through practicing Falun Dafa. They believe that as long as they adhere to the principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance,” no matter what difficulties they face, they will be able to see hope and light in their future lives and move forward steadily.
Articles in which cultivators share their understandings typically reflect an individual’s perception at a point in time based on their cultivation state, and they are offered in the spirit of enabling mutual elevation.
