(Minghui.org) With the 2019 Chinese New Year just around the corner, Falun Dafa practitioners are extending their warmest greetings to the founder of the practice, Mr. Li Hongzhi. They all wish Mr. Li a very Happy New Year.

Falun Dafa, known for its slow meditative exercises and straight-forward explanation of profound principles, is celebrated by people from all walks of life. The practice was introduced to the public in May 1992. All practitioners, from company executives to blue collar workers and farmers, recount how practicing Falun Dafa helps them to be better people in their respective everyday situations.

Despite 20 years having passed since the Chinese communist regime ordered the nationwide persecution of Falun Gong due to its immense popularity, most practitioners persevere in their faith. They have vowed to be more diligent in their practice and let more people know about the beauty of it in their new year greetings.
