Kim, a Vietnamese American, said her New Year’s resolution is to practice even more diligently.

Kim, a Vietnamese American, began practicing Falun Dafa 13 years ago. She said her health was poor and she'd had to be treated at several hospitals. After a neighbor suggested she try Falun Dafa, she contacted a local practice site, learned the exercises, and began reading Zhuan Falun. Her ailments gradually disappeared. “Falun Dafa is truly amazing,” Kim said. As she learned more about the principles, Kim realized the meaning of self-cultivation. She is determined to cultivate herself well and return to her true origin.

Patricia

Patricia, a 71-year-old American, started practicing Falun Dafa with her daughter in 2009. She said that she always searched for answers to life’s questions. When she was researching the word “Tao,” she found the Falun Dafa website. Patricia and her daughter read the book Zhuan Falun, and were surprised to find answers to their questions. 

Patricia has enjoyed improved health since she began practicing Falun Dafa. She no longer needs medicines and stays energetic at work every day. Because she’s benefited so much she wants everyone to know about Falun Dafa. Her other daughter, who used to be opposed to their cultivation, recently started practicing after witnessing her mother’s and her sister’s changes. Patricia’s granddaughter also joined the family in practicing.
