(Minghui.org) Practitioners in Australia, both Chinese and Western, shared their feelings and aspirations after reading many of the Minghui articles celebrating the 26th World Falun Dafa Day, saying that they have once again witnessed the extraordinary power of Falun Dafa and are deeply grateful for Master’s boundless compassion. They feel extremely fortunate to have formed a sacred bond with Dafa at this critical moment when morality is declining at such a staggering pace.
In May of this year, Minghui.org published a great number of commendations and congratulatory messages from government officials around the world. They expressed respect for Mr. Li Hongzhi and Falun Dafa, as well as deep appreciation and gratitude for a practice that focuses on moral values and kindness, benefiting tens of millions of people around the world.
Jessica K from Cairns in Tropical North Queensland said that she was particularly touched when she read that the flag of the United States of America was raised twice in honor of Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, for his outstanding contribution in spreading the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance around the world.
“Wow! Falun Dafa enjoys such strong support from around the world! In America, they even raised their national flag twice. That is great!” Jessica said. “Think about how wonderful it would be if the whole world did the same!”
“Compared to previous years, Falun Dafa has been given even more recognition and praise, and many government officials and honored guests from various sectors participated in the celebrations and spoke out in support of Falun Dafa,” she said.
“The grand parades, large group exercises, beautiful banners, and the lovely dances in vibrant traditional costumes are absolutely brilliant!”
Jessica felt a deep sense of connection while reading some of the articles on Minghui.org. One elderly practitioner shared how a business was blessed after its owners embraced the principles of Falun Dafa.
After the COVID-19 pandemic began, a business ran into financial difficulties and faced possible bankruptcy. The practitioner went to the business and clarified the truth about Falun Gong to the owners. They agreed with what she said and thought Falun Gong was very good. She later heard from a friend that the business took a turn for the better, enjoying success even during the lockdown.
“I think that most people know in their hearts that Falun Gong practitioners are good people, and it is quite easy for them to relate to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance—they can feel the power of such principles,” said the practitioner.
Jessica agreed and said, “My mother, step-father, and brothers all support my practice of Falun Dafa. I have also witnessed the blessings my relatives have enjoyed in their live. I think it all comes down to their understandings of Dafa and support of me in my practice.”
She is also inspired by the willingness of Dafa practitioners in China to share their experiences, “They have suffered cruel persecution and given up their comfortable lives, yet they still strive to let go of their ‘ego’ and do their best to clarify the truth to help those who persecute them, with no hatred or resentment, just pure kindness.
“I thought to myself, ‘If I experience tribulations and feel things are very difficult, or when I start to hear myself complain, I will think of these fellow practitioners in China and what tremendous sacrifices they have made so that we are able to freely practice and share the truth with others! Those sharings give me strength and encourage me to let go of my own ‘ego’ and move forward with determination, because our hearts are connected.”
To make things easy for those who are busy, Minghui.org also set up “Minghui Radio” so that people can listen to the reports and articles celebrating the 2025 World Falun Dafa Day.
Mr. Yang from Western Australia, who is self-employed, says he has benefited a lot from listening to Minghui Radio.
“I have been listening to Minghui Radio podcasts lately and was deeply inspired by the articles. A number of them described how people attained a new life after experiencing a desperate situation. Some told how the whole family is blessed when one member practices Falun Gong. Others are protected by sincerely reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’Gang leaders in jails were moved by Dafa practitioners’ kindness and decided to change their ways. A notorious ‘village of thieves’ turned into a ‘model of civility’ because the villagers learned to practice Falun Dafa. Some shared how police officers helped Falun Gong practitioners behind-the-scenes when moved by their kindness. One told about how evildoers who engaged in the persecution of Falun Gong met with karmic retribution. Others were about how people went from crisis to safety after they learned the truth about Falun Gong.
“From these true stories, I could sense the extraordinary power and the greatness of Dafa, as well as Master Li’s boundless compassion. I feel extremely fortunate to have become a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple when human morality is deteriorating so fast,” said Mr. Yang.
“One of my relatives came down with a serious ailment that almost took his life. He kept reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ and quickly recovered. He has continued to do this for about 10 years and has remained very healthy. He’d now a true ‘longevity star’ in our local area.
“I have been cultivating Dafa for 25 years now, which has changed me from someone who was weak and selfish with many human attachments into a new person who is happy, healthy, and always considerate of others,” said Mr. Yang
“In celebration of World Falun Dafa Day, I just want to express my deepest gratitude to Master for teaching us Falun Dafa. Thank you, Master!”
This year, Minghui.org also published 52 cultivation and truth-clarification stories from practitioners both inside and outside of China in celebration of World Falun Dafa Day.
Ms. Lin from Sydney was deeply touched by three such articles. One of them reminded her of the days when she was still in China. As a young practitioner at that time, she heard or witnessed many incidents of extraordinary changes in people after they took up the practice.
In one article, the practitioner recalled, “I had all kinds of ailments before I practiced Falun Dafa and felt life was so boring and painful. But soon after I did, all my health problems disappeared. I felt very happy and peaceful. The sky looked bright, people were kind, and life was filled with joy. I could never have dreamed of being so lucky as to obtain this Fa! “We conduct ourselves strictly by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and treat others with sincerity, kindness and tolerance.”
These words took Ms. Lin back to the beautiful time when she first obtained the Fa, “At that time, cases like this were everywhere. More than 100 million people felt true happiness and joy thanks to Falun Dafa.”
These words also resonated with Ms. Lin: “I truly wish that people can all recite ‘Falun Dafa is good’ so that they can be saved by Dafa’s Master and be blessed. Falun Dafa is here to offer salvation. How fortunate for us to obtain the Fa! Such an opportunity only comes once in millions of years, so please don’t miss out!”
The author wrote, “I have been cultivating Dafa for more than 20 years. At first, my husband supported me, thinking it was great that I was able to gain good health. But after the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) started to persecute Dafa practitioners, he sided with the CCP and tried very hard to stop me from practicing. But I learned to treat him with kindness, starting with life’s little things, and in the end my husband said to me, ‘You have completely won me over!’
“This is typical,” said Ms Lin, “Before the persecution, many people witnessed the miraculous power of Dafa and supported their family members in their practice. But when the persecution started, due to pressure, fear, and personal interests, some family members changed their attitude towards Dafa and became obstacles. However, as long as we hold firm faith in Dafa and treat everyone with kindness, we can help those who turned against us see the truth and develop righteous thoughts. This process truly demonstrates the extraordinary power and compassion of Dafa.”
A practitioner in Hong Kong shared how she clarified the truth to people in publiv and helped them quit the CCP organizations. She said, “Falun Gong practitioners have been clarifying the truth to people for 26 years now, and many people from China agree to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations as soon as I explain to them why they should, and they all look very happy.”
“As I read this paragraph I could truly feel the happiness from the bottom of their hearts after they learned the truth and decided to quit the evil CCP. This is the result of Falun Gong practitioners’ unyielding efforts in truth-clarification and it also reflects the compassion and resilience of Dafa practitioners,” said Ms Lin.
