(Clearwisdom.net) During the 2011 Chinese New Year holidays, Dafa practitioners around the world, and non-practitioners who know the truth about Falun Dafa, sent greetings and homemade greeting cards via the Clearwisdom website to express their esteem and regard for Dafa's Master, Mr. Li Hongzhi, and to wish him a happy New Year. Clearwisdom has published as many as ten thousand and nine hundred greetings and e-cards to date.
In addition to the congratulations from overseas Falun Gong practitioners, the overwhelming majority of greetings are from China, throughout the northeast, north, east, central, southwest, northwest and other regions. They include Falun Gong practitioners from municipalities, various government branches, industry and military, education, health, and other systems. They include family members of Dafa practitioners and non-Dafa practitioners, who have predestined relationships with Dafa or have benefited from Dafa. Compared to previous years, this year's greetings are not only greater in number, but also include more Dafa practitioners from government agencies, public security forces of justice departments, and people who haven't started Dafa cultivation.
In China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is still cruelly persecuting Falun Gong. The CCP has spent enormous amounts of money and human resources to frantically block networks and seal off information. To ensure their greetings reached the Clearwisdom website, people needed to break through layers upon layers of Internet blockades.
Such a large number of sincere messages of gratitude and congratulations to Master clearly show practitioners' firm belief in Dafa. It illustrates the indisputable fact that Falun Dafa exists at all levels of society, even within the tightly controlled government, the judiciary, the military, and the police forces in China. It also shows that over a decade of frenzied persecution by the CCP has failed.
The touching greetings and best wishes were written by family members together, by young couples, and by families of three generations. Without exception, they expressed their firm beliefs in Dafa.
A family in Jilin Province wrote:
“In the past year, under Teacher's compassionate salvation, many of our family members have begun Dafa cultivation. In this great moment of the Fa-rectification period, our entire families are cultivating in Dafa without exception. During this happy time of family reunion, we won't forget Teacher's teachings. While we are cultivating ourselves, we will also think of others and those in peril. We will do the three things solidly, and work hard so Teacher won't worry about us and will have no regrets.”
Some greeting cards were sent on behalf of a region, an industry, a Dafa materials production site, or a Fa study group. They may represent just a few people, a dozen, dozens, or even a greater number of people.
Dafa practitioners from a materials production site wrote:
“Busily printing every day, making truth-clarifying materials, exposing the evil party with the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, eliminating the mark of the beast, to return home. After watching the Shen Yun performance, people minds are clear and they understand the truth. Everyone is saying Dafa is good, is in favor of eliminating the evil party and bringing an end to the calamity, sentient beings are saved when Buddha appears, Dafa practitioners follow Teacher to return to heaven, and men and divine beings praise Teacher's kindness. The Buddha light shining endlessly.”
The vast majority of Falun Gong practitioners assure Teacher that they will cherish everything Teacher has given them and will bear in mind the responsibility of Dafa disciples, and do well with the three things. They will continue cultivating with renewed diligence and vitality until they welcome Teacher back to the motherland.
“Thank you Teacher for picking us up from the hell,
Thank you Teacher for purifying our bodies,
Thank you Teacher for teaching us to improve our minds,
Thank you Teacher for teaching us how to practice,
Thank you Teacher for leading us back to glorious heaven.
We, the disciples, are grateful for Teacher's salvation.
We want to listen to Teacher and do the three things well, and cultivate diligently to be qualified Dafa disciples.”
- This greeting was sent by a young Dafa disciple from Lianyungang. She shared the common aspiration of other disciples.
“Teacher pulled us up from hell, bears responsibility for all disciples, and gives us the most precious things. We, as disciples, are unable to express our gratitude in any language! We will cherish all that Teacher has given us, remember our responsibilities, waste no time in saving sentient beings, and live up to Teacher's hard work and urging!”
- By a Dafa practitioner in a Shandong army troop expressing his gratitude.
“During fifteen years of stumbling practice, under Master's compassionate protection, I haven't been able to walk until now. Experiencing many tribulations, I have never wavered in my resolution. No matter how long the Fa-rectification takes to get here we will all do the three things well to not squander Teacher's enormous grace, and fulfill our historical vows.”
- By a Dafa practitioner in the traffic police department of public security and his family members.
A person from the city of Jiamusi who benefited from Dafa sent his greetings to express his gratitude to Mr. Li Hongzhi:
“Dafa is amazing! When I encountered life-threatening danger of brain stem bleeding, I recited, “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” as suggested by my older brother and his wife (both are Dafa practitioners). My condition was then able to be controlled and I was out of danger. It is the Dafa Master who saved my life. I shouted from my heart to thank Him! I wish Master Li and His family a Happy New Year! May all wishes come true. "
Many non-practitioners also call Mr. Li Hongzhi Master, as they learned from practitioners.
Family members from Xianning bowed to Teacher and said:
“Master has such great concern for our futures, and yet we misunderstood you in the past. But you still save us at a great cost. We are unable to express our gratitude even with thousands and thousands of words. We firmly stand on your side to try to stop this evil persecution. As the New Year approaches, our whole family respectfully wishes Revered Master a Happy New Year!”
There are so many meticulously-designed greeting cards, and every sincere word comes from peoples' hearts, with so many words of touching praise. People can truly see Dafa practitioners focusing on studying the Fa and doing their Dafa work, and their indestructible confidence in Dafa. They let people see the kind thoughts of those people after they learn the truth.
