(Minghui.org) In celebration of the New Year, the Minghui website has received a large number of greetings from people around the world to express their gratitude for Falun Dafa and to wish Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, a Happy New Year.

The following selection of greetings from China were sent in by people who don't practice Falun Dafa, but who have family members, colleagues, friends, or neighbors who do practice Falun Dafa. They have come to understand that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is wrong in persecuting this peaceful self-cultivation practice that has transformed so many lives. Many of these people have quit the CCP and its subordinate organizations, and subsequently experienced tremendous positive changes in their own lives.

A resident of Shandong Province who works in the legal system wrote: “Thank you, Master Li for bringing hope and beauty to humanity. Thank you, Falun Dafa practitioners for your strong determination and faith. You are writing history with your own lives. What you do will bring a new chapter to China. Although the communist regime is trampling the law in its persecution of Falun Dafa, most Chinese people still have faith in the law. I hope all good-hearted Chinese people understand the facts soon and safeguard themselves against the menace of the communist regime.”

A practitioner from Baoding City, Hebei Province said he often met people who expressed their gratitude and admiration for Master Li after understanding the facts about Falun Dafa. An elderly man who suffered from long-term pain in his legs was surprised to find that the pain disappeared after reading an informational booklet about Falun Dafa, which he'd found at his doorstep. He went to the street to look for Dafa practitioners and offered to help distribute the booklets so that more people could benefit.

Another practitioner from Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, sent in a greeting on behalf of 24 people from his family who have strong support for Falun Dafa. He said that his brother-in-law was protected by Master Li during a severe car accident. He is very grateful for Master and shouts out “Falun Dafa is good” every day before he leaves home for work.
