National Taiwan University student discusses decade of Falun Dafa practice

Gao Zhongwei, a student at National Taiwan University, has shared how his decade-long practice of Falun Dafa has influenced his personal development, specifically regarding self-discipline and positive thinking.

The journey began ten years ago when his father encountered a Falun Dafa flyer in Taipei's Ximending. After reading the book ‘Zhuan Falun’, his father began practicing, which Gao observed led to improvements in his father's physical health and temperament.

Following his father's example, Gao began practicing during middle school. He credits the practice with helping him overcome distractions, such as excessive smartphone use and short video consumption, by fostering focus and mental clarity. He notes that studying the teachings helps him maintain ‘righteous thoughts’ and resist negative habits. Additionally, Gao describes how the principles of ‘Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance’ have improved his interpersonal relationships, allowing him to listen to others with more patience and empathy rather than reacting defensively to differing opinions.
