Wanying, who works for a water supply company, began practicing Falun Dafa 27 years ago. She said, “After I became a practitioner, I learned to be kinder, and more tolerant towards people and things. Whenever I run into problems, I think, what is the best thing I can do to benefit others, and my thoughts are now clearer. I realized that the wisdom I gained comes from Master who is looking after and guiding us. I am truly grateful to Master.”
She said, “I have strong faith in Master. I wish Master a Happy New Year. Thank you Master.”
Yueqiu owns a shop that sells breakfast meals. One day, she saw a flier about Falun Dafa at a relative’s house, and thought, “I want to learn this.” That was 22 years ago. She said, “In the beginning, I practiced alone.” One day, her family pointed out, “Your asthma has not recurred in a long time.”
She realized that the asthma she was born with was gone. She became a better person and was less attached to money. She knew that Dafa disciples have the responsibility of assisting Master in saving sentient beings, so she joined the NTD TV station to promote moral education. She also makes phone calls to China to help people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
She said, “I’ve benefited tremendously from practicing Dafa. I am deeply grateful to Master. I wish Master a Happy New Year!”
Thuy Bui, a Vietnamese doctor in a respiratory and thoracic treatment clinic, began practicing Falun Dafa ten years ago. He is pursuing further studies at Hualien Tzu Chi hospital. He said, “I heard about spiritual cultivation while I attended the university. I read many stories about people who practiced cultivation in the Himalayas as well as Shakyamuni Buddha’s story. I regretted not being born in the same time as the Buddha, and therefore being unable to follow the Buddha in practicing cultivation. I did not know what true cultivation was then. I only abstained from meat, and I meditated. After I read the book Zhuan Falun on the Internet I was ecstatic. I found the book I had been searching for, and an opportunity to truly practice cultivation. From then on, I began studying the teachings of Dafa and doing the exercises.
“I get nervous easily and was under a lot of pressure before I began practicing Dafa. I did not know how to relax. However, after I began practicing, it was as if I can take on more things, and my heart expanded. I became calm and the invisible pressure I always felt went away.”
Thuy Bui said, “Thank you Master for teaching me the Fa. I will practice cultivation diligently and solidly. Happy New Year, Master!”
