-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The theistic cultures corresponding to different dynasties' sovereign beings have passed down in China from generation to generation. The long history created the opportunities for people to obtain the Fa. Looking back in history, many hardships have been endured, and many noble spirits manifested. For instance, the forbearance of Han Xin (An ancient Chinese hero who bore the humiliation of crawling between a ruffian's legs, but later became the backbone of his country), the broad-mindedness of Taizong (The greatest emperor in the Tang Dynasty), the endurance of the Yang family (a family of famous generals safeguarding the country in the Song Dynasty), and the generosity of Kangxi (the greatest emperor in the Qing Dynasty), and all of these were simply for paving the road for sentient beings to obtain the Fa.

The heavenly gate is open for the first time in millions of years, the vast Buddha's grace fills the entire cosmos and sentient beings are encouraged and happy. The foolish old forces and the furious red dragon attempted to interfere with the Fa-rectification, just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Humans and gods are both indignant towards them.

It has been 12 years since Dafa was introduced. People follow goodness as naturally as a river follows its course. The dense and dark haze is swept. The light of Fa is boundlessly shining and the new cosmos is resplendent. Sentient beings extol together: "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance."

Dear Great Master, Greetings!

Dafa practitioners from Hainan Province long for seeing you again! We are grateful for your compassionate saving. We thank you for your guidance and bestowing the sacred mission of saving sentient beings in Fa-rectification on us. We will try even harder to do the three things (study the Fa, clarify the truth and send forth righteous thoughts) well. Teacher, please rest assured.

As Teacher's birthday is coming, please accept our deep blessing: We wish Master a happy birthday! Teacher, you have given so much for sentient beings!

Practitioners from Hainan

Greetings Master!

As the 12th anniversary of the Falun Dafa's introduction is coming, we, Dafa practitioners from Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province extend our sincerest respect to revered Master. At this critical moment when the firmament nearly completely renewed, and regarding whether sentient beings will be saved, we are so fortunate to be chosen by Teacher as Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples. We will try our best to fulfill our historic mission with Teacher's guidance. We will walk this last leg of the journey with our indestructible righteous thoughts. We thank Teacher for all Teacher has done for us. We thank overseas fellow practitioners for their support and help. Thank you! Heshi

The heavenly gate is open

Teacher comes to spread the Fa

The principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance

Has been embedded in practitioners' hearts

All the filth is cleared,

Meditating on the lotus flower

Do the three things well

Sincerely thank Teacher's grace

On this occasion when Master's birthday is coming, all Dafa practitioners from Tongliao area extend our appreciation for Master's benevolent saving! Practitioners expressed: No mater how hard and dangerous the environment is, no matter how furious the evil is, no matter how difficult it is to save the sentient beings, we will definitely follow Teacher to accomplish the entire process of the Fa-rectification so as to fulfill our historic mission. We will definitely listen to Teacher and be good disciples, so Teacher's heart can be at rest.

The following is a poem written by a practitioner from Tongliao entitled "Road to Home" and it is presented to our great Teacher.

Road to Home

Millions of years have passed
I'm still a child standing by the river and looking into the distance
Pick up a colorful stone
Despite the rising gale

Being unaware of the sins I had committed
Being unaware of with whom I made the commitment
I came to the human world
Where I have suffered much wind and frost

Painfully waiting and waiting
I know in my heart that a giant boat will come
And carry me to the place in my dreams
Returning home is what I've been away so long for

Riding the waves
Comes Teacher's Fa-boat
Staggering along, I rush toward it
Tears streaming down

Closely shaking my hand
Teacher guides me to traverse layers upon layers of dense fogs
All of the drifting spirits
Finally find their destination

Countless brambles are on the road
Plus beasts of prey
Teacher told me not to be scared
Stars are shining
And I will always be by your side

The bell sounds, calling us to return
Return home, my child!
Do not wonder about
You've been so far away
Remember the road to home

Wandering from place to place
Involuntarily
I've incurred countless bad habits
And also forgot my goal of coming here

In the auspicious light, we gradually became awakened
See through myself
In the vanity of the world
I've committed so many misdeeds

Washing the filth with tears
We are lucky to find ourselves
Dedicatedly
We walk on the road to home

Who are those?
Without recognizing their own home
They regard the evil as their father

Who are those?
Mistakenly regarding other places as their home
And addicted to the poisonous wines and sexual appeals

They forgot their road to home
Billions of years have passed
Millions of rounds of samsara have taken place
Child standing by the river
It's getting light
It's time to go home

As Teacher's birthday and the World Falun Dafa Day are coming, Dafa practitioners from Guangzhou City wish Teacher a happy birthday! We hope all fellow practitioners will be even more diligent in cultivation.

Teacher, please rest assured, practitioners from Guangzhou will see clearly where we fall short and do well the three things that Dafa practitioners are supposed to do.

Spreading the Fa for 12 years,
Teacher has born countless hardships
On Teacher's birthday,
We thank Teacher's boundless grace
Disciples congratulate Teacher
Righteous thoughts rise
Eliminate the evil factors and save sentient beings
It is our duty to validate the Fa

Six Dafa practitioners were abducted on April 24 in Weifang City. They are currently imprisoned. On behalf of them, we respectfully welcome World Falun Dafa Day and send greetings to Master!

Shackled and cuffed in prison

Our hearts are free

Eliminate the evil factors with righteous thoughts

We will be back soon to validate the Fa

The cosmos will be all encompassing

We will use our righteous thoughts to dictate our lives and clearly understand the path that we will take. We will make sure to clearly understand the goals and meanings of our lives. Walk the last leg of Fa-rectification journey well. We hope Teacher can have more console than worry.
