(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Italy held a group study and practice, and shared cultivation experiences in mid-Italy on August 17-19, 2012.

Group practice

Practitioners lined up for group practice in the morning. A few veteran practitioners walked back and forth to correct hand gestures. After group practice, the group sat down and watched the Falun Gong exercise-teaching video to correct their hand gestures.

Many practitioners felt a strong energy field during the practice session. Some said that though they could sit for for only thirty minutes when practicing the fifth exercise at home, they were able to continue for an hour upon seeing others continuing longer during the group practice.

Continuing into the evening, practitioners read Zhuan Falun and other Falun Gong books in Chinese and Italian in study groups.

During the afternoon of August 19, the Falun Gong practitioners shared their cultivation experiences. Some new practitioners shared their understandings about diligent practice. Some veteran practitioners shared their experiences of making up for shortcomings in cultivation and resuming cultivation after enduring difficult tribulations.

The three-day gathering concluded successfully and practitioners were encouraged by the group event.
