(Minghui.org) Tens of millions of people began practicing Falun Dafa within a few years after it was introduced to the public in 1992. Many learned about it from family members, relatives, and friends. They were glad to see the physical and spiritual benefits practitioners received, as well as their happy family lives.
Nineteen years into the suppression in China, these practitioners remain determined in the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The family members are also supportive of the spiritual practice. Many of the families sent Chinese New Year greetings to Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, through the Minghui website, some of which are included below.
One practitioner said that seven of his family members are practitioners, including his 90-year-old mother. “Through practicing Falun Dafa, she has overcome several illness tribulations with Master’s help. Even my brother-in-law, who is not a practitioner, has benefited from his positive attitude towards Falun Dafa. He had a major traffic accident last year and miraculously survived.” This practitioner and his entire family sincerely thank Master Li and wish him a Happy Chinese New Year.
Over 30 members of a big family from Zhoukou City, Henan Province, said they are grateful for Falun Dafa. “Eight of us are practitioners and the rest are also very supportive. After learning of the bad deeds committed by the Communist Party that have harmed people and defamed Falun Dafa, all of us have decided to quit the Party organizations,” wrote the greetings. The entire family sent their best regards to Master Li, wishing he could one day return to China.
One family in Yantai City, Shandong Province, has nearly 100 members. Among them, 9 practice Falun Dafa. The practitioners said they will remain diligent in cultivation practice in the New Year, and the rest of the family said that they also respectfully wish Master Li a Happy New Year.
Eleven members of a family in the Shijingshan District of Beijing said that they have all been blessed by Falun Dafa. “My grandparents, already in their 90s, are healthy and happy every day. My parents are in good spirits and the family is filled with laughter. My siblings are successful in their careers and live a prosperous life,” wrote the greeting. Similarly, the children are also reciting ''Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” They receive good grades in school and enjoy happy childhoods.
“We hope that more people can learn the facts about Falun Dafa and no longer be misled by the Communist Party propaganda. We are grateful to Master Li and wish him a Happy New Year!” wrote the greetings.
