Coming Across Falun Dafa
Mr. Hwang, 61-year-old, from Seoul said, “I was looking for a simple cultivation practice. But I failed to find a suitable school. I received a Falun Dafa flier and then registered for the nine-day session.
“My brother knew about Falun Dafa and told me it is very good. After I attended the session, I found that the teachings resonate with me.
“While listening to the lecture, I realized that the principles of Falun Dafa are profound. Virtue is a material substance, which is interesting to me. I used to treat virtue as a concept, but the teachings explain it as material. This gave me a new perspective.”
This Is True Cultivation
Mr. Hwang’s brother, Hwang Min-je, 56 years old, also participated in the nine-day session. He tried different cultivation ways for nearly ten years. He saw someone practicing Falun Dafa five years ago and got a flier. He also read many books on cultivation and browsed the Falun Dafa website, He said, “This is true cultivation.
“I felt the energy flow when I watched the video lecture. I think Master Li offered the five exercises to save sentient beings. These five exercises are more effective than what I practiced before. When I practiced the exercises at home, I clearly felt the effect. I felt the energy mechanism flow and the overall improvement of my body.
“I think Falun Dafa practitioners are good people,” he said. “Although many people are misled by the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda, practitioners still understand the value of Falun Dafa and keep practicing. I think they are outstanding.”
He has looked for the meaning of universe and life since he was in his 40s, and he is very interested in cultivation.
Predestined to Attend the Session
Mr. Pei Ku-iwian, who lives in the United States, said he had two deep feelings after attending the nine-day session. “First, this is a surprising experience. When I watched Master Li’s video lecture, I saw bright illumination in my lower abdominal area. I have religious belief and sought the essence of belief. But I couldn’t understand some issues. By attending the nine-day session, all my questions were answered.
“Next, I think only Master Li can explain the profound principles in such a simple and accurate way. I learned Tai Chi when I was in the U.S. but it was just hand gestures without any explanation. I did not know if practicing that had any effect on my body. But Falun Dafa has exercises as well as teachings about cultivation.”
He watched the video lectures and read Zhuan Falun and said, “After listening to the nine lectures, I have deeper understanding when I read the book. This is a great experience.”
Shoulder Pain Is Gone
Mr. Swi heard about Falun Dafa when he was the director of an art gallery ten years ago and helped with the Shen Yun tour in South Korea.
He said, “We faced great pressure and even received threatening calls from the Chinese Embassy and South Korean National Intelligence Service. But I know Shen Yun is a pure art performance. I had some shoulder pain. A Falun Dafa practitioner who hosted Shen Yun showed me the Falun Dafa exercises in my office. As a result, my shoulder problem was gone after I practiced the exercises once.
“Last December I went to the Seoul train station and saw that practitioner again. I’d been having had some issues with my knee and wondered if I should try the exercises again. I saw him again and such a coincidence is rare. Thus I expressed my wish to learn the practice. I started to adjust my schedule since last December and now I was finally able to attend the nine-day session in February.
“After practicing, I found that my tiredness every morning disappeared and I felt very relaxed. My eyes were always tired before. One day I suddenly noticed I could see clearly. I stopped taking medicine three days after I began practicing. My knee pain is gone.”
His wife and daughter also attended the session. Ms. U said, “We came here with the simple thought of keeping healthy and doing something as a family. The teaching mentioned the relationship between the human body, life, and the universe. Although I don’t fully understand it, I can definitely feel the energy.”
