It is very necessary for the disciples to share with one another what they have experienced and learned in their cultivation practice. There is no problem with them helping one another make progress together, so long as they have no intention of showing themselves off. To facilitate the dissemination of Dafa, some conferences for sharing cultivation experiences have been held in different regions. All of these conferences are very good and healthy—both in format and content. But the practitioners’ speeches must be approved by the assistance centers to avoid political issues, which have nothing to do with cultivation practice, or issues that set incorrect trends in cultivation practice and in society. Meanwhile, we should avoid practicing superficial boasting—something which derives from everyday people’s theoretical studies¹. Compiling articles like submitted documents to be read with the intention of showing oneself off is not permitted.

Big conferences for sharing cultivation experiences that are organized by the general assistance centers at the provincial or city level should not be held on a national scale. A national or an international one should be organized by the Research Society, and they should not be held too frequently. Once a year should be good (except for special cases). Do not turn them into a formality or competition; instead, make it a solemn Fa conference that can truly advance one’s cultivation practice.
