(Minghui.org) In celebration of May 13, World Falun Dafa Day, the Minghui website received numerous greetings for the special occasion from practitioners in 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China. Falun Dafa was introduced in 1992, and these practitioners say they are grateful for the benefits they have received.
A practitioner from Zhucheng City, Shandong Province, said he suffered from numerous illnesses which were so painful he sometimes wept. “In 1998 when I was 47, a friend told me about Falun Dafa. Within two months, all my illnesses were gone and I became healthier than ever,” he wrote in his greetings. “That is why I am so thankful to Falun Dafa and Master Li. Words cannot express how fortunate I am.”
A mother and her son in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, said they were previously selfish, and had many health issues. “Falun Dafa not only improved our health, but also made us better people who are considerate of others. Dafa is so important to us, and we will do better in following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” they wrote in their greetings.
Practitioners in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, said they realized that cultivation means constantly improving themselves. “Everything that occurs in our life can be viewed as an opportunity to identify areas that we can do differently and better. This is a process for us to validate Dafa, and this is a journey for us to share our story with others so that they can benefit like us,” they wrote in their greetings.
“It is not easy to abandon filthy human notions and walk on the path of returning to the divine,” wrote practitioners in Bishan District, Chongqing. “Sometimes we encounter difficulties, and sometimes we feel lonely. Fortunately, Falun Dafa’s teachings always guide us along the way and we know Master Li is always looking after us with compassion. Thank you Master Li.”
During the harsh persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), a mother and her daughter were forced to stay away from home. “It is not easy, but we know we are doing the right thing. The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are near and dear to our hearts. No one can take them away.”
Practitioners in Huludao City, Liaoning Province, contributed a poem:
Around the globe we are celebrating Falun Dafa Day,
‘cause the practice improves our mind and body as a great way;
Once lost in the earthly world and fighting for personal gains,
we were happy to know Dafa and life is no longer in vain.
Striving to be better day after day and year after year,
we hold Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to our heart near and dear;
Thank you Master Li for guiding us and easing our sorrow,
we will do better as practitioners for a brighter tomorrow.
