(Minghui.org) Young Falun Dafa practitioners from various regions in Bali participated in a day-long event in Ubud on Sunday, December 22, 2024. They studied the Falun Dafa teachings, meditated, discussed their cultivation experiences, and introduced their practice to locals and tourists at the Ubud Market in Gianyar.
Ubud is one of Bali’s most popular tourist spots and is known for its rich culture, vibrant art scene, and peaceful surroundings. It’s a place where tradition meets nature, attracting visitors from around the world. The town’s iconic market, where the event took place, is a lively center popular with both locals and tourists.
Young Practitioners Advance in Cultivation
The Fa study and practice sessions were held at the local practice site, from 9:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Several practitioners shared their cultivation experiences, including insights on improving their xinxing and how Master’s teachings guides their cultivation journey.
Naini, 27, described a xinxing test she experienced. She faced a conflict with her parents over a water crisis at home caused by a malfunctioning borehole pump. Despite numerous efforts to repair the pump, her attempts were unsuccessful. During this ordeal, she found herself criticising her mother for being quick to complain and impatient while harboring resentment toward her father for his perceived indifference and inaction.
When she looked inward and saw her negative mindset, the borehole pump was quickly repaired with minimal effort and resumed functioning. Naini realised that the real issue was not the machine, but herself.
Local practitioner Partini said she highly values every moment on her cultivation path. Despite her busy work schedule, she remains committed to doing the three things well. She wakes up early to practice the exercises and reads one lecture of Zhuan Falun before starting her workday. She also takes the opportunity to introduce Falun Dafa to others during her work breaks. She expressed her determination to stay persistent on her cultivation journey.
Monika had an amazing experience when she did the exercises during a vacation with friends. She accidentally left her phone charger in her friends’ room. When she checked her phone to do the exercises, she discovered the battery was low. When she realized this, she quickly opened her friends’ door to retrieve the charger, unaware that her friends were still fast asleep as it was very early. The following day, Monika was surprised when they told her that their door was locked the night before. They were puzzled that she was able to enter, given that the door was locked. Monika later realized that Master helped her and she expressed her gratitude.
Introducing Falun Dafa to Locals and Tourists
In the afternoon, the practitioners visited Ubud’s traditional market to introduce Falun Dafa. They distributed brochures in the area where tourists are dropped off and picked up.
A tourist from the Netherlands said he was interested in practicing Falun Dafa. He said that during his three-day stay in Bali, he would visit the exercise site and read the book Zhuan Falun. He felt that the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance were within him and said he wished to learn more about Falun Dafa.
Several tourists from South Africa received informational materials about Falun Dafa and said they thought the practice was very beneficial, and they would tell their friends about it.
A fabric vendor at the traditional market expressed an interest in practicing Falun Dafa. She said she wished to have more patience in dealing with life’s challenges. She accepted the informational materials and called her children and friends over to get the information as well. She said she would contact local practitioners so she could learn how to practice.
