[Minghui.org] Rediscovering Our Original Aspirations

 July 19, 2025 | By Minghui reporter Shen Rong

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.

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.

【明慧网】在集体学法中找回初心 台湾青年营圆满结束


修炼不久,佳伶不仅更为开朗、自信,身体状况也有了明显的改善。长达十几年的肩颈僵硬、偏头痛与亚健康(例如疲劳、失眠、情绪低落)等问题,都在炼功后得到缓解。原本每月要花费上万元的营养品与正骨疗程也都自然停止。

【明慧网二零二五年七月十五日】(明慧记者沈容采访报导) 二零二五年七月十日至十三日,来自台湾各地约七十多位青年学子齐聚国立政治大学,参加为期四天三夜的法轮大法青年学员交流营。参与者横跨国高中、大专与社会青年,大家怀抱着共同的心愿,希望在集体学法炼功的环境中,比学比修、共同精进,并在现代社会的各种诱惑与压力中坚定正念,找回修炼的初心。

数位媒体专员:走出手机成瘾的挑战

目前担任数位媒体投放工作的思敏,从小在修炼家庭中成长,和弟弟妹妹一起跟着母亲学法炼功。然而,真正让她开始思考“修炼”在生命中的意义,是在她高中时期。

图3:思敏表示返本归真是自己生命中最正确的选择。

“那时我常常问自己,人为什么需要信仰?我是真的相信大法吗?还是只是因为家人的关系?”就在这段寻找答案的过程中,思敏开始反复梦见同样的场景。

她说:“这些梦境点悟着我,今生遇到的某些人,其实是前世结下的缘份,有的是来报恩,有的是来还债。梦境中真实的情景让我知道师父在法中所讲的轮回与因果关系确实存在。”

思敏还记得一个清晰的梦,梦中她是天上的小仙女,在一棵大树下拨开云层、俯瞰人间,“当时我有个强烈的念头,想要下去看看。这段记忆唤起我内心深处一种熟悉的感觉,我们不是偶然来到这个世界,许多生命其实都是从天上带着使命而来的。”随着不断学法,思敏也更加确信,返本归真就是自己生命中最正确的选择。

这次能和青年学子一起学法交流,让思敏感到格外珍惜。她表示:“让我印象最深刻的,是关于手机成瘾的议题。对我们这一代人来说,手机是这个时代普遍需要的工具。许多学员分享了自己去掉过度使用它的方法,有的靠自律、有的靠学法炼功,更多的是透过向内找,找出被手机牵动的人心,从根本上去掉执著。听完后收获良多,也让我想到,原来有这么多和我同年龄的人,都在努力突破,这对我来说是很大的鼓励和帮助。”

电脑工程师:走回修炼在工作中展现慈悲

工程师政霖自幼随着父亲接触法轮大法,但他坦言,那时的自己并未真正走入实修。“比较象是一个‘仅知道有大法的人’,但并没有真正理解法的内涵。”

图4:重新走回修炼的政霖,分享他在工作中以实际行动展现善心的经验。

政霖进入职场工作后,因过于繁忙与琐事牵绊,身体健康也亮起红灯。他说:“二零二四年,我的身体开始出现状况,胃部感到很不舒服,这时我突然想起了法轮大法。但我一开始只想靠着大法来解决病痛,并不是真心想要修炼。后来当我真正放下求治病的心,只想好好重回修炼时,身体便开始好转,现在胃已经完全没问题了。”

重新走入修炼后,政霖有着截然不同的体悟。“这次我真正认识到修炼的严肃性,也努力按真、善、忍的准则要求自己。”在职场中,他学会反思自己,在与人相处中更加忍让与体谅别人,也开始主动关心同事、帮助他人,以实际行动展现修炼人的善心与慈悲。

谈起这次青年营的收获,他分享道:“我一直在烦恼为什么学法会时常犯困,直到昨天学法时才体悟到,自己虽然在读法,但一思一念没有抓紧,思想浮动,才让外在物质得以干扰。”于是他更加注意自己的念头,每当发现分心,就立刻回头补读遗漏的段落。政霖笑着说:“现在学法状况好很多,感觉找到突破的关键,真的很开心。”

整体造型师:历经二十年寻觅 终在大法中找到答案

从事整体造型师的佳伶,谈起走入修炼的经历,笑说自己寻觅二十多年,终于找到了大法。

图5:佳伶表示法轮大法是自己寻觅已久的高德大法。

佳伶表示自己从很小时对宇宙与生命就充满疑问,却一直找不到生命真正的信仰。在事业最顺遂之际,佳伶甚至陷入心灵极度空虚的低谷,还出现过自杀的念头。在那段最黑暗的时期,她透过朋友介绍参加一场研习课程,课堂中教授带着大家阅读《转法轮》

她说:“读《论语》的时候,感觉天地仿佛为之一震,我马上知道,这就是我找了二十多年的大法。当天我就带回宝书《转法轮》,读完后,我只有一个念头,这个法非修不可。”

修炼不久,佳伶不仅更为开朗、自信,身体状况也有了明显的改善。长达十几年的肩颈僵硬、偏头痛与亚健康(例如疲劳、失眠、情绪低落)等问题,都在炼功后得到缓解。原本每月要花费上万元的营养品与正骨疗程也都自然停止。

此次能参加青年营,让她深感珍贵。她说:“能和同世代的青年学员面对面交流,探讨如何在充满诱惑的环境中坚守修炼之路,让我获益良多,也看见同修之间比学比修、互相促进的力量。”

姊妹同行修炼路:家庭更温暖 心灵更踏实

就读高中的子绮表示,自己从小学二年级开始接触法轮大法。她说:“看到妈妈修炼后情绪变得稳定,身体也更加健康,整个家庭气氛都温暖了许多。我知道大法真的很好,就跟着妈妈一起学法炼功。”

图6:姐姐子绮(左)与妹妹子缘(右)一起在修炼中共同精进。

子绮回忆,读中学三年级时,面对升学会考的压力时,曾经非常焦虑。每天埋首课业,总是担心自己会考不好,还紧张到失眠、暗自流泪。“在那样的情况下,我发现只要学法、炼功,情绪就会比较平静,好象有一股力量让我稳定下来,不再那么紧张。这时我才真正体会到,修炼能从根本上帮助我调整状态,也感受到师父一直在身边帮我渡过难关。”

年纪较小的妹妹子缘,也和姐姐一起在修炼中稳步成长。她分享,有一次发烧不适,在妈妈提醒下默念“法轮大法好,真善忍好”,没想到隔天醒来竟完全康复,让她亲身体会到大法的神奇。

这次参加青年营,姊妹俩都有不少收获。子绮表示,以前遇到矛盾时习惯向外推责,总觉得都是别人的错,但在营队中,她学会了向内找。“有一次妹妹坐不住,我原本想责怪她,但突然想到,是不是我也没认真听别人交流,才让她感到无聊?”她惊喜地说,这样反省自己的能力,是以前从未有过的体悟。

来自不同年龄与背景的青年学员,都在大法修炼中找到稳定内心的力量。他们相信,只要坚持实践“真、善、忍”的准则,无论面对怎样的难关,都能在未来的人生路上看到希望和光明,踏踏实实地向前行。

朋友,您知道吗?从1992年5月开始,到2010年底为止,法轮功已经传到114多个国家,在那里人们都可以自由自在的炼功…

可是,在中国,从1999年7月20日开始,江泽民因为妒忌法轮功人数众多,对法轮功恶毒的诽谤与迫害。社会上很多人听信了共产党媒体的宣传和煽动,对法轮功产生了很深的误解与仇恨。

最为恶劣的,是在2001年1月导演了一场所谓的”自焚”闹剧,并通过新华社以从未有过的速度向全世界散播,嫁祸法轮功。这场闹剧,后被包括服务于联合国的国际教育发展组织(IED)在内的多个国际组织认定为虚假编造。朋友,您愿意把法轮功真相与更多的人分享吗?
