Sheila, a young Western practitioner, talked about the changes practicing cultivation for two and a half years brought her. Before she began to practice, a thought suddenly came to her mind one day: “There is a diamond in China.” She didn’t know what that meant, but a few days later, she met Falun Dafa practitioners raising awareness about the persecution in China. Although she was shocked by the extent of the brutality, she was curious about this cultivation practice from China. It was tough when she first began studying the Fa, but the teachings provided answers to many questions that she had about the purpose of life. After following the principles for a period of time, she discovered that she was no longer depressed and she understood the meaning of life.Her health improved as well. The menstrual pain that affected her disappeared. Her attitude towards things also changed. She realized that in the past, when she argued and lost her temper when things did not go her way, she was being interfered with. Now, she is able to face everything calmly, look inside for attachments or desires, and see the problem from the perspective of Falun Dafa’s principles, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.Her friends and family were surprised by her transformation. Her mother said that Sheila became peaceful and healthy after practicing Dafa. Her best friend told her that she hopes she too can be positive like Sheila.

In the noisy small square in front of the museum, practitioners’ exercise demonstration and eye-catching banners drew people’s attention. They accepted fliers, read the display boards, and talked with practitioners. Many people were interested in the exercises and some learned them on the spot. A Chinese couple read the display boards and took photos. When a practitioner greeted them, the woman said, “I often get around the Internet censorship to read information outside of China. I don’t want to read the CCP’s fake news. I have long known that the CCP-staged Tiananmen self-immolation was planned to frame Falun Dafa. I admire you for daring to publicly expose the CCP’s shameful deeds here. It’s so inspiring, you are amazing!”
