(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of May 9, 2010, Falun Gong practitioners in the greater Dallas area held group practice in the city of Plano, celebrated World Falun Dafa Day and wished Master Li a happy birthday.

Falun Gong was spread to Dallas in 1996. Ms. Jin came to the USA that year with Falun Gong books and informational materials. She had attended Master Li's lecture in 1994 in Tianjin. She recalled, "After coming here, I found some Chinese people were interested in Falun Gong. In October 1999, Master gave a lecture in Houston. We made announcements in a local Chinese newspaper. After coming back from Houston, we set up a group practice site and introduced Falun Gong nearby."

Vietnamese practitioner Bruce said, "I started practicing Falun Gong in 2000. I read a report in the Dallas Morning News after July 20, 1999, which mentioned Falun Gong's positive effects on health and it caught my attention." He said he recovered from severe allergies that had plagued him before. His wife Kim started the practice later. He said, "My wife had high blood pressure before practicing Falun Gong and took medicine every day. After practicing, her blood pressure returned to normal. No more medicine is needed."

Another Vietnamese practitioner Nguyen came to join the celebration with Bruce and his wife. He started to learn Falun Gong after witnessing the marvelous changes in them. He has read Zhuan Falun ten times.

After the group practice, the practitioners spoke in chorus, "We Wish Revered Master Happy Birthday!"
