(Minghui.org) On the 30th anniversary of Zhuan Falun’s publication, practitioners in India expressed their gratitude to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, for compiling the book and guiding the world to follow the path of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
Despite the relentless persecution in China since 1999, Falun Dafa continues to spread worldwide, touching more lives every day. More than 100 million people have embraced the teachings of Zhuan Falun; many have experienced improved health, inner peace, and mental clarity. They say the depth and universal essence of Zhuan Falun is why it has been translated into over 50 languages.
India is known for the wide variety of languages spoken within its borders;. However, Hindi and English are the official languages used by the government, Twenty-two languages are considered scheduled languages by the Eight Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
To bring the teachings of Falun Dafa to more Indians, Indian practitioners translated Zhuan Falun into the languages they knew. Zhuan Falun has now been translated into the Indian languages of Hindi, Bengali, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and Malayalam.
With each new language edition, practitioners hope that more people have a chance to understand the practice that’s so positively impacted their lives.
Data Analyst: Zhuan Falun Is a Ladder to Heaven
Bhavani, 66, from South India, works as a data analyst. She is grateful for the opportunity to translate Zhuan Falun into her native language, Malayalam. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Zhuan Falun’s publication is “a moment of immense pride and significance” for her. She believes Zhuan Falun is an invaluable book that offers a “systematic and practical guide” for self-cultivation.
“It is the only book that has the power to guide millions of people worldwide and has profound inner meaning and wisdom. Zhuan Falun is not just a book—it is a ladder to heaven, a gateway to a higher understanding of life and the universe. That is why it has inspired and elevated millions of people around the world,” she said.

She said that Zhuan Falun directly addresses profound questions about life and death, the origin of life, the purpose of existence, and the creation of the universe. It also explains the principles of virtue and karma and emphasizes the importance of cultivating one’s character. “Zhuan Falun is a universal guide, open to people of all ages, backgrounds, and religions, offering a path to higher understandings and inner transformation,” she added.
The teachings have changed Bhavani from an emotional person to someone who is calm and steadfast. Through the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, Bhavani learned to let go of negativity and face challenges with clarity and wisdom: “I am extremely happy that Zhuan Falun has become a part of my life. It has changed my perspective on life and given me a path to develop inner peace, wisdom, and resilience,” she said.
Bhavani says that when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seeks to suppress faith, erase the truth, and restrict people’s spiritual freedom, millions of people still read Zhuan Falun and practice Falun Dafa, proving that, “the light of truth cannot be extinguished.”
She expressed her deepest gratitude to Master Li for leading people to higher spiritual realms and for teaching them the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
Electronics Engineer: Zhuan Falun Explains the Essence of Spiritual Practice
Rajeev Kumar, 55, an electronics engineer, began practicing Falun Dafa in 2001 and helped translate the books Zhuan Falun and Falun Gong into Hindi. Reading the books changed his outlook on life and improved his family relationships. Just one month after he began practicing, he recovered from hypertension, which troubled him since childhood.
He says in the book Zhuan Falun, Master Li explained in simple terms the moral principles that can be directly applied in day-to-day situations and help improve both health and spiritual life. “I understood that the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are not just words, but they have deep implications. These are not any theoretical concepts but have practical aspects as the body is directly influenced by the mind,” he said.

Rajeev has practiced Falun Dafa since 2001.
In the Chinese regime’s ongoing persecution campaign against Falun Dafa, books were frequently confiscated from practitioners in China; even during the initial days of persecution, the regime burned hundreds of thousands of books. Rajeev calls it, “the most unfortunate incident in human history.
“Falun Dafa was making the Chinese people healthy and making the society a better place. Any government would have been proud of this, but the CCP, instead of appreciating it, chose to ban this practice and persecute practitioners,” he said.
Expressing his gratitude to Master Li on the 30th anniversary of Zhuan Falun's publication, Rajeev said celebrating this day holds special importance as the book touched the hearts of millions of people around the world. “This book explains complex spiritual topics in an easy-to-understand manner which a person can follow in daily life,” he added.
Business Owner: The 30th Anniversary Of Zhuan Falun Is a Significant Milestone
For 48-year-old Mark Luburic, from Australia, getting Falun Dafa in India was nothing short of a miracle. He learned about Falun Dafa in 2012 from a friend and colleague who gave him the book Zhuan Falun. It came at a time when life seemed to be getting more stressful and complicated, he said.
On discovering Zhuan Falun, Mark felt that its teachings were clear and concise, and although some of the concepts seemed foreign to him at first, with diligent reading and cultivation, they made more and more sense. Falun Dafa’s three core principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance “resonate with all of humanity and beyond. It’s something humanity can come together on, regardless of background, status or religion,” he said.
Mark Luburic reads Zhuan Falun, the core text of Falun Dafa.
Mark believes that reading the book realigns our souls to sync with the universe’s most fundamental nature, harmonizing everything around us. Reading the book regularly creates a pure energy field, and one feels calm, relaxed, and free of the unnecessary stress of everyday life. He said, “The more I read, the clearer I become.”
He also said that incorporating the teachings of Zhuan Falun benefited him in all aspects of life, none more so than in his professional life, where the challenges come thick and fast and on a regular basis. “It’s made me reflect much more on my own actions, even my own thought process, to see if they are aligning with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. As a natural precursor to this, my relationships have become more harmonious and stable,” he said.
Commenting on the persecution of Falun Dafa in China, Mark said that although, “The CCP sees itself as the highest authority, above man and above the divine,” it will never be able to eradicate the divine and upright faith.
Mark expressed his gratitude to Master Li, saying: “Master Li has worked so hard and gone through many hardships to give us the opportunity to cultivate ourselves and have the chance to return to our original nature—it’s a gift that cannot be overstated. The 30th anniversary of Zhuan Falun is a significant milestone, and one of many more to come.”
Computer Programmer: A Path to Clarity and Enlightenment
Sanjiv Bhalla, a 65-year-old computer programmer, spent his entire life seeking answers about the mysteries of life and the universe. Despite his curiosity, he found little clarity—until he was introduced to Zhuan Falun about 16 years back.

Recalling his experience, he shared that the first time he listened to Master Li’s nine-day lecture series, many fundamental truths about life and the universe were instantly revealed to him. Even after all these years since he first read the book Zhuan Falun, he continues to gain new insights and expressed his profound gratitude for this opportunity.
Through his journey, Sanjiv gradually experienced the depth of Falun Dafa’s core values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. He observed that these principles revealed ever-deepening layers of wisdom that could not be easily articulated but could only be understood through cultivation. “The more I align to these, the better I become,” he said.
Reflecting on a pivotal moment in his journey, Sanjiv recalled how, a year and a half after he began practicing, his cervical spondylitis disappeared—a condition for which modern medicine offers no cure. He explained that the personal hardships and challenges he faced during his life could only be met with resilience and understanding, which he attributed to his spiritual path. A few years after he began practicing, his wife said she noticed that he became a better person, a realization that reinforced how fortunate he was to finally take control of his life in a meaningful way.
He takes every possible opportunity to encourage others to explore the teachings, he urges people to read Zhuan Falun and believes that it might hold the answers they have been searching for their entire lives.
He expressed his deep concern over the CCP’s attempts to suppress the teachings. “Zhuan Falun has the power to transform evil at every level. The destruction of the books is a feeble attempt by the CCP to keep the people enslaved under its control, which is a gross violation of our freedom of belief,” he said.
