(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in China lost their group study and practice environment after July 20, 1999. Browsing the Minghui website frequently can help compensate for the loss. We can see how fellow practitioners in other countries are cultivating diligently and better understand Master Li's recent teachings.

I remember how the environment in 2000 was so harsh that I did not know what to do. There were no fellow practitioner near me. I was distressed and felt helpless. One day in 2004, I received an email with software to break through the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Internet firewall.

I was so afraid when I visited the Minghui website for the first time, but was also so excited! I learned how Falun Gong was spreading across the world, and became more diligent in cultivation. For example, I did not pay attention to sending righteous thoughts initially. After reading fellow practitioners' experience sharing articles on the importance of sending righteous thoughts, I gradually focused on it more.

The experience sharing articles on Minghui are precious, as everyone shares their best understandings, whether they are at a high level or not. Every article is applicable to and can be a help for many people.

I have benefited a lot from visiting the Minghui website. I have also published several experience sharing articles of my own. I would not have my current understanding of Dafa if I had cultivated alone. I am often touched by fellow practitioners' articles and words. Now, I spend some time every day to read articles on Minghui.

There have been many bad situations that have arisen among practitioners in China in recent years. For example, spreading the so-called tenth lecture, collecting funds, and so on. I believe these issues became prevalent because the practitioners involved didn't visit Minghui, where these issues were highlighted. These people would not have done those bad things if they had frequently visited Minghui.

Owning a computer and web browsing are relatively inexpensive nowadays. Most families can afford them. Some senior practitioners do not go online, saying that they are old and cannot learn new technology. Actually it just takes a few minutes. Reading fellow practitioners' articles on Minghui is priceless.
