A practitioner from Moscow, Mitsar, talked about reading Zhuan Falun to his severely ailing mother. She improved a lot in body and spirit. His mother experienced the wonder of Falun Gong from the bottom of her heart, so she actively supported him in doing the three things necessary for a practitioner: studying the principles of Falun Dafa, sending forth righteous thoughts, and exposing the persecution in China.

Another practitioner from Moscow, Zwoya, reported her experiences of holding banners and placards with other practitioners in front of the Chinese Embassy for more than a year, urging the Chinese Communist regime to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. She also discussed exposing the persecution to the local police and Chinese residents.

A practitioner from Carlushia talked about her experiences of exposing the persecution for several years in her local area. Another practitioner Nachia, from Irkutsk, sent a written speech because she couldn't be present in person. She talked about getting rid of various types of interference and difficulties while telling the Chinese people living in her area and near the Chinese borders about the persecution. Her name was entered on a "blacklist" which brought difficulties to herself and her family. She was forbidden from entering China with her husband and children.

Lima, a practitioner from Latvia, discussed her understanding that Falun Gong practitioners must do the three things well, and talked about her experience of talking to senior government officials about Falun Gong and the persecution. She also wrote to the President directly to recommend the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, published by the Epoch Times. As a result of unremitting perseverance by practitioners, great effects emerged. The Latvian President replied to her letter in person to express his gratitude.

All practitioners cherished each speaker's experience sharing and encouraged one another. The whole auditorium took on a compassionate and peaceful atmosphere. During the Fa-conference, group Fa-study and exchanges on specific topics were also organized.

The 2005 Russian Falun Gong Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference came to an end smoothly on the afternoon of October 9th.
