Practitioners in Sydney wish Master Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Xiao Mi wished Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and thanked Master for his compassionate salvation and protection. She said, “After I started to practice Falun Dafa I followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and looked within during conflicts. I read the Fa and did the exercises every day. I tried to be a better person. Within two months, I recovered from hives and pollen allergies which troubled me for many years. I witnessed the miracles created by Falun Dafa. This reinforced my determination to cultivate.”
“I still remember the first time I talked to people about Falun Dafa. It was during a live show with the host of a Chinese-language radio program. I only practiced Falun Dafa for a few months then. There were seven or eight Chinese in my organization, and we listened to the radio program at work.”
“One day the host who obviously didn’t know the truth about Falun Dafa attacked it. I phoned the program’s hot line. I was not afraid. I knew he was not right. Falun Dafa and our Master is so good, I must let people know the facts about Falun Dafa. In my heart I thanked Master for giving me this opportunity. I dialed the number and got through. I shared my own experience of practicing Falun Dafa.
“I said that I followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance after I began practicing Falun Dafa. I look within during conflicts. I became healthier and my family is happy and harmonious. I get along better with my coworkers. Work becomes easier and joyful. The host accepted what I said and thanked me for calling him. I only hoped that every listener had the opportunity to think for themselves and make a choice for themselves. I only did what I should do. There’s a Chinese saying: ‘One favor should be returned ten times.’ Master has suffered so much for us. I must cultivate diligently and save more people.”
Jie Liu also wants to send her greetings and gratitude to Master. She wishes Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and thanks him.
She started to practice Falun Dafa in 1997. She was the deputy managing director in a state-run enterprise. She used to follow society’s deviated trends. Her health deteriorated and she ended up in the hospital. However, modern medicine couldn’t cure her. She resorted to Chinese medicine and qigong. Her mother introduced her to Falun Dafa. All her illnesses disappeared after she practiced for a few days. “I was very surprised,” she said. “I knew that I found a true, great way. I experienced many positive changes. My temper and many bad habits were gone after I practiced Falun Dafa. I felt renewed. My coworkers and managers saw the changes in me and came to know the beauty of Falun Dafa. Some started to practice Falun Dafa.
“Master purified my body many times,” she said, “I had a deeper understanding of Falun Dafa. I learned to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in my daily life and at work. I looked within during conflicts. I felt light, happy and clear in my mind. I wanted to let everyone know the beauty of Falun Dafa and let Chinese people know the facts about the persecution. I joined the media team and online truth clarification team. I do the three things every day.”
Serena has practiced Falun Dafa for three years. She said, “Practicing Falun Dafa makes our family happy and healthy. I have witnessed so many miracles on my cultivation path. I have immense gratitude to Master. I wish Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. I am grateful to Master.”
“People admire my family of four with a boy and a girl. I am 40 but people say I look young. Before I practiced Falun Dafa I was extremely weak and had many illnesses. I broke through my fear of being persecuted and started to practice Falun Dafa. Our benevolent Master purified my body. I’ve been illness free ever since. I know Master cherishes me and the feeling is beyond words. I am moved to tears whenever I remember this. When I started to practice, my hands felt hot, swollen and numb when I did the second set of the exercises. After I broke through my fear and started to clarify the truth in front of the Chinese consulate or passed xinxing tests, I found Udumbara flowers on the tree outside my door, on the iron wall on the corridor and on my son’s bicycle. I knew that Master was encouraging me.”
“Master also protected me so that I gave birth to a daughter smoothly. One night I had excruciating pain just as the pain I had when I had miscarriages previously. But it was different this time. My husband immediately asked Master to help me and he sent righteous thoughts. The pain disappeared immediately. How amazing it was! I passed a life and death test thanks to my firm belief in Falun Dafa while I was in the maternity ward.”
Jie Yuan first heard of Falun Dafa when practitioners made a peaceful appeal in Beijing on April 25, 1999. She said, “I felt a shock in my heart when I heard the words ‘Falun Gong’. I read an experience sharing article in a Chinese newspaper in Sydney in May. It attracted me. I started to practice Falun Dafa in June.
“I didn’t practice Falun Dafa for the purpose of healing my illnesses. Master purified my body the night I got a copy of Zhuan Falun even before I opened the book and began to read. My illnesses disappeared after I had read Zhuan Falun once.”
“I have read Zhuan Falun every day since then. I read Master’s lectures earnestly. My mind is full of the Fa. I started to memorize the Fa in 2003. Many times I was moved to tears while memorizing the Fa. It was hard to put into words how I touched I felt when I was assimilated to the Fa.
“Falun Dafa turned a selfish me to a considerate and helpful person. I was very selfish when I just started to practice Falun Dafa. It was hard for me to pass xinxing tests. As I constantly studied the Fa and memorized the Fa, I became more and more calm. I didn’t get angry most of the time. When other people were not good to me, I shrugged it by a smile. When other people praised me, I didn’t take it to heart. I feel that life is getting easier. I get along better with every one. I’m a translator. I also give piano lessons to students. I try to validate the Fa through my behaviors. The parents praise me a lot. One Western parent told me, ‘You are the kindest teacher I ever met.’”
Jie Yuan said, “Falun Dafa has changed me fundamentally. I’ve become healthy physically and mentally. Thank you Master. I will definitely follow you and cultivate diligently. I wish our benevolent Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!”
