(Minghui.org) As the 2018 New Year approaches, Falun Dafa practitioners all around China are sending in their heartfelt greetings to wish revered Master Li Hongzhi a happy New Year. In this collection, we present greetings from new practitioners who began the practice of Falun Dafa only a few years ago.

These new practitioners decided to practice Falun Dafa despite the ongoing persecution because they have seen for themselves how the practice transformed the lives of their family members and/or friends.

A man wrote that he witnessed the tremendous changes in his wife and in-laws after they began practicing Falun Dafa. Though he didn’t practice himself, he was beyond happy to have a harmonious family. He was saddened to see them persecuted for upholding their faith but was also in awe of their calmness in the face of adversity. He had to find out what gave them such strength. After reading Zhuan Falun (the main teachings of Falun Dafa), he recently became a practitioner too.

A woman shared her experience of picking up the practice of Falun Dafa. She suffered a slipped disc, and her back hurt so much that she couldn’t even walk. Her mother, a Falun Dafa practitioner, urged her to try Falun Dafa, but she brushed off the advice. As her condition worsened and no medical treatment seemed to work, she finally decided to try Falun Dafa. To her surprise, her symptoms soon disappeared, and she was left in awe of the extraordinary power of Falun Dafa.
