Ms. Tao Yuefang said, “I'm very much grateful to Master.”

Ms. Tao Yuefang, 78, is a Falun Dafa practitioner in Sydney who has cultivated in Falun Dafa for 23 years. She said that words fail to express how she has benefited from cultivating Falun Dafa since September 1993. She has been painstakingly telling her family and friends the beauty of Dafa even after the persecution started. “I'm grateful to Master for having always providing me with wisdom to clarify the facts to help save more predestined people,” said Ms. Tao.

Jason started to practice Falun Dafa in 1999. He said that Dafa teaches him to look within when encountering setbacks or challenges. It enables him to pass through many trials and tribulations at work and in family life. He thinks of his customers first at work, and sets a good example for others. He thanks Master for looking after him and offering him many opportunities to travel and meet with different people to talk to them about the persecution of Falun Dafa in China.

Ms. Nancy Zhao, a new practitioner, said that she benefits a lot in her cultivation.

Nancy Zhao said that she was fortunate to be introduced to Dafa in 2011. She and her family members truly started the practice was in 2014. “I'm really grateful,” said Nancy. “I work in real estate, I would pursue fame and self-interest before I cultivated in Dafa. After I started the practice, I learned that what I want is to walk through amid temptations and tribulations, and become a person conforming to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” Nancy said her customers become her friends because she is considerate of their interests and her colleagues think she is trustworthy.
