(Minghui.org) Tens of thousands of greetings from Falun Dafa practitioners and others around the world were sent to Minghui.org to wish Falun Dafa founder, Master Li Hongzhi, a happy Chinese New Year. The greetings came from groups, individuals, and families from all walks of life. The beautiful greeting cards, poems, and music expressed deep gratitude and appreciation for Master Li.

 
Tens of thousands of greetings from across the globe posted on Minghui.org.

More than 20 years ago, Master Li started spreading Falun Dafa in China. Since then, the practice has spread to over 100 countries. Despite the harsh persecution in China over the past 13 years, millions of practitioners have remained steadfast in cultivation.

These greetings and expressions of gratitude demonstrate once again that the Chinese communist regime's attempt to eradicate Falun Dafa has failed completely. Lies, violence and brainwashing cannot change Dafa practitioners’ belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and cannot prevent people across the globe from learning about and experiencing the wonder of Dafa.

Continuing Cultivation Amid the Persecution

Countless Falun Dafa practitioners sent greetings to Master Li, risking their lives to overcome Internet blockage in China

Falun Dafa practitioners from all regions in China--from Hainan Province to Inner Mongolia, from western to eastern China, and from rural areas to cities--sent greetings to venerable Master. They did so by risking their lives to break through the “Great Firewall” Internet blockage of the communist regime.

Practitioners who have sent in the greetings range from seniors to kids as young as 6 years of age, and everyone in between. They include veteran practitioners who have cultivated in Dafa for over 20 years, as well as new practitioners who have practiced for less than one month.

All of these practitioners expressed their deepest gratitude for Master Li's compassionate salvation, knowing that only by cultivating diligently can they assist Master in Fa-rectification and save more sentient beings. Practitioners promised that they would move forward diligently, walk well on the their path of cultivation, and fulfill their prehistoric vows.

The greetings have come from all industries and sectors, including the army, judicial system, education, health, transportation, construction, finance, and more.

One policeman in China wrote to Master Li: “I am a policeman in China and have practiced Dafa for 18 years. Falun Dafa has changed my life. Since starting cultivation, I have gotten rid of many attachments, such as those to lust, power and money, which are prevalent in the police circle. I am grateful to Master for his compassionate salvation. I vow to follow Master forward, do the three things well and save more sentient beings.”

Believing That Falun Dafa Is Good Brings Rewards

Many people have come to know the grace of Falun Dafa after personally experiencing the wonder of Dafa. Here are just a few select examples.

A general manager in a private enterprise in Beidaihe, Hebei Province, wished Master Li happy Chinese New Year. He said in the greeting: “Since all employees remember the words, ‘Falun Dafa is great’ and ‘Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is great,’ they have become kind and help others. They all want to be good people and follow the principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. The revenue is getting better and better. We all wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Master Li.”

A Falun Dafa practitioner’s daughter and son-in-law in Kaijiang, Sichuan Province, sent greetings to Master Li with the following message: “My mother is a practitioner. We also benefit from Falun Dafa. We always remember that Falun Dafa is great, Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is great, and Master Li is great. During the past several years, on several occasions we almost had a car accident, but none really happened. We know it was Master Li who protected us. We have experienced the marvelous benefits of Falun Dafa. We will continue to support and appreciate Dafa. We sincerely appreciate Master Li and wish Master a happy Chinese Year!”

Thank you, Master!”

Falun Dafa practitioners from South Africa said in their New Year's greetings to Master: “We appreciate Master’s compassionate salvation and care. We will move forward diligently, do the three things well, save more sentient beings, and fulfill our prehistoric vows.”

Wishing for Master's Return to China

Many Falun Dafa practitioners and people who have come to know that Falun Dafa is good cherish Master Li’s compassionate salvation. They wish Master Li could return to China soon.

Retired police officials wrote to Minghui.org to wish Master Li a happy New Year. They said in their greeting: “Falun Dafa has spread in China for more than 20 years. With the help of Dafa practitioners, many people have come to know the Communist Party's true nature and have renounced all affiliation with the regime. Many people who had incurable illnesses have recovered after reciting sincerely, ‘Falun Dafa is great! Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is great!’ Many families have become harmonious after practicing Falun Dafa. Master Li cares for China. Chinese people appreciate Master Li! We wish to express our gratitude to Master Li in person.”

Falun Dafa practitioners in Shan County, Shandong Province, expressed in a poem:

“Mountains and water are happy after ice and snow melt.

Watching the west coast, each year we are awaiting Master’s return.

We wish to see Master as early as possible.

Expressing our heartfelt appreciation, tears stream down our faces.

After winter is gone, the sky becomes clear, and evil forces are eliminated.

We welcome Master's return to China.”
