(Minghui.org) In honor of the Mid-Autumn Festival, many new Falun Dafa practitioners in China have sent in greetings to wish Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, a happy holiday.

Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a mind-body practice based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. It has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since July 1999.

These newcomers took up the practice despite the ongoing persecution. In their greetings, many shared stories of how Falun Dafa has miraculously improved their health and made them better people. They expressed their deep gratitude to Master Li for the opportunity to practice Falun Dafa.

One man in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province had four stents put in his heart in 2010, but his symptoms suddenly worsened in July 2018. His wife, who is a Dafa practitioner, encouraged him to recite “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He heeded her advice and was shocked to see his symptoms gone the following day when he went in for a checkup. He is now happily practicing Falun Dafa.

A 101-year-old woman in the same city also marveled at Dafa's miraculous healing power. She didn't start the practice until 2016 but has already seen its benefits. She broke her arm twice and fractured three ribs another time, but she recovered quickly without medical treatment.

A 66-year-old man in Weifang City, Shandong Province had been plagued by chronic stomach problems for more than 40 years, but his symptoms disappeared not long after he began practicing Falun Dafa two months ago.

Ten members of a family in Chongqing began practicing Falun Dafa one after another during the past few years. They sent in their warmest wishes to Master Li for a happy holiday.

The rest of the well-wishers hail from the following regions:
