(Minghui.org) 2018 marks another year of Falun Dafa spreading throughout the world. To date, Master Li Hongzhi's main work, Zhuan Falun, has been translated into 40 languages.

Dafa practitioners in Hualien, Taiwan wished Master Li an early Happy New Year on December 16 at the main train station plaza. We put our palms together to pay respect to Master Li: Happy New Year! Thank you Master for your compassionate salvation.
The Tang drum team ushered in the New Year at the plaza. We also demonstrated the five elegant exercises of Dafa. The peaceful music and exercises drew pedestrians to stop by and learn more about Dafa. Practitioners also shared the benefits of Dafa by sharing details of their own experiences.
We wish revered Master Li a Happy New Year!

This is my first time sending New Year's greetings to Master. Master's grace is unforgettable!
Master saved me from Hell and purified my mind and body, so I could lead a normal life. All I can do is to cultivate diligently and fulfill my ancient vow of saving sentient beings. Thank you Master for not giving up on me!
With Master's compassionate support and protection, another fruitful year in our family is behind us. We have experienced Master's omnipresent compassion, be it in individual cultivation or in assisting Master to save sentient beings.
Although our attachments have not been completely removed, we feel that with Master's support we are able to suppress them. They are getting weaker and weaker. We have realized their damage and will continuously repel them and remove them with cultivation.
In the new year, we will do the three things well with a purer mindset. We hope Master will be pleased.
We wish our compassionate Master a Happy New Year! We kowtow to Master in gratitude for his grace.
We follow Master's teachings, cultivate ourselves well, and make calls with our heart. We vow to stop the persecution, save sentient beings, and do the three things well.

Greetings, Master! Happy New Year!
In the past year, I haven't done as well as I would like to. Time flies! Time is also very precious. I will study the Fa well and deny the old forces' persecution and interference, and seize the time to do the three things well.
Thank you Master for your compassionate protection. I was able to overcome a recent sickness karma thanks to you.
I have realized the core issue of my sickness karma. I will let go of resentment in my heart, cultivate compassion, and treat fellow practitioners kindly.

I live in Inner Mongolia. I have cultivated Dafa for two decades. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance has illuminated my entire family. The seniors are all healthy and energetic. The adults are successful with booming businesses. The young members of the family are outstanding with bright futures. The children in my family are smart and kind.
My relatives all know that Falun Dafa is great. They too have benefited much from Dafa. On behalf of my relatives in both countries, I would like to thank Master for his compassionate salvation.
