(Minghui.org) With the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaching, many people in China have sent in greetings to wish Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, a happy holiday.
Though these well-wishers do not practice Falun Dafa themselves, they identify with its principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and condemn the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal persecution of the spiritual practice.
They thanked Master Li for bringing them health and happiness. Many also expressed their admiration for practitioners who risk their lives to raise awareness of the persecution and long for the day when practitioners can enjoy family reunions, too.
Health for the Entire Family
One resident from Kaifeng City, Henan Province, recounted how her entire family benefited from Falun Dafa. “I used to suffer from many diseases. I often felt tired and didn't have hope for life. But after I quit from the communist regime, and often recited ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ my health improved and I'm often in good spirits. Although I'm 65 now, I feel that my heart is as light and happy as that of a child.
“Three of my sisters practice Falun Dafa. When the persecution first started, I was very scared and didn't dare to talk to them. But after they explained to me that the government spread much hateful propaganda to attack Falun Dafa, in order to justify the persecution, I began to change my mind. But most importantly, what really made me change was the actual changes in my sisters themselves.
“All of them suffered from heart and lumbar problems before and had to take a handful of pills every day. Now they are 82, 79, and 75, and they are enjoying very good health! Unlike most people of their age who are bedridden and suffer from all kinds of diseases, they still lead active lives, do household-chores, cook, and babysit their grandchildren.
“My elderly sister's son, a Communist Party secretary at a company, opposed my sister in her practicing Falun Dafa and refused to listen to her. He was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer last year and lost hope for life. My sister suggested that he resort to Dafa for help. This time, he changed his mind. He began to accept the things my sister told him. He quit the communist regime and began to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’
“He told us that he used to bear strong hatred and disgust toward many things. But after reciting these words, his hatred dissolved and he felt happier and more peaceful than ever before. Meanwhile, his health improved and his cancer went away! He now has deep respect and appreciation for Dafa.
