Fukuoka, Japan: The Gratitude of Falun Gong Practitioners

(Minghui.org) Ohori Park in Fukuoka, Japan, is quiet and beautiful. Falun Gong practitioners from Kitakyushu, Saga, Oita, Nagasaki, and Fukuoka City gather there every Sunday to do the Dafa exercises together and share experiences. They also set up display boards in Chinese and Japanese to give visitors an opportunity to learn about Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa).

Falun Gong practitioners at the Fukuoka practice site do the exercises together.

Mr. Yi, the coordinator of the Fukuoka practice site, said that being a coordinator is a precious opportunity for cultivation. Practitioners have supported each other, and over the years they have done many activities, which deeply move him. He felt the power of teamwork and learned to be humble and open to different opinions. By doing so, he said that his heart has grown broader.

Mr. Yi said he wanted to keep humble and listen to others’ opinions.

Ms. Zhong began practicing Falun Gong in January 2003. At that time, her husband was told he would not live much longer. A practitioner recommended that he read Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa. But before she could help her husband read the book, he passed away. After that, Ms. Zhong felt guilty she had not introduced Falun Dafa to him. She began to practice Dafa herself. It has been 21 years. Despite her age, she feels light and healthy in both body and mind. She no longer needs to go to the hospital or take medication. She now leads a positive life. Ms. Zhong expressed her heartfelt gratitude for discovering the teachings of Falun Gong.

Ms. Zhong is sincerely grateful that she encountered the teachings of Falun Gong.

Ms. Masuda began practicing Falun Gong in September 2022. She had many unresolved questions about life since she was young and had been searching for answers for years. Then she came across a Falun Gong practitioner’s online program that piqued her interest in cultivation. By studying Falun Dafa, she finally found the answers she sought.

Ms. Masuda says that practicing Falun Dafa has given her a deeper understanding of the meaning of life, and it spurred her on to start a new life.

Ms. Masuda said, “Before, I was troubled by the gap between my ideals and reality. I was unable to find peace of mind. But after practicing Falun Dafa, my mind became clearer, and I found peace. I began to recover from the ailments that had troubled me for years. I now have a deeper understanding of the meaning of life, and I have started a new life.”

Mr. Terasaki began practicing Falun Gong around April 2013, after he saw a video about the persecution of Falun Gong. He then searched for information about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of the practice.

After finding out more about the practice, he became interested in Falun Gong. He said that, after he started to practice, his view of life changed significantly. Through the practice, his worldview was also broadened. Mr. Terasaki expressed his gratitude to Master, saying, “Thank you, Master, for protecting me all these years.”

Mr. Terasaki says that practicing Falun Dafa has broadened his worldview.

Miss Xin Tong began practicing Falun Dafa on May 23, 2021. She found out about Falun Dafa by watching a practitioner’s program. Then she read Zhuan Falun and decided to become a practitioner. Through self-study and participating in local practice site activities, she gradually gained a deeper understanding of the cultivation practice.

After practicing for a while, she noticed her back pain was gone, her constipation disappeared, the quality of her sleep significantly improved, and her energy levels increased. She also became calmer and learned to look inward and be considerate.
