The Pacific Mall in Toronto is located in a Chinese community. Practitioners have persistently clarified the truth there for more than ten years, rain or shine. Many Chinese listened to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) propaganda and were deceived. After practitioners compassionately persisted in clarifying the truth about the persecution they eventually saw through the CCP’s lies.
Practitioners who clarify the truth at Pacific Mall express their gratitude to Master.
Practitioners hold truth-clarification activities regardless of the weather.
Mr. Xu expressed his strong determination to cultivate himself.
Mr. Xu has been clarifying the truth at the Pacific Mall for six years. He said, “Many Chinese had misunderstandings about Falun Dafa and ignored us. As we continued to talk to them, more and more people learned the true story and quit the communist organizations.
Xu found the meaning of life through his self-cultivation. “I used to muddle along, but cultivation in Falun Dafa has brightened my life and lightened my heart. No matter what I run into, good or bad, I follow Master’s teachings to treat every challenge as good a opportunity to improve. I’m determined to continue my cultivation!”
Dr. Wang said he would seize the time to cultivate himself solidly.
Dr. Wang had high blood pressure for over ten years. His blood pressure became normal just one month after he began practicing Falun Dafa. As a medical doctor, he couldn’t believe that his lumbar muscle degeneration was resolved right after he started cultivation. He said his health and energy were restored and he feels like he's in his 30s. “No language can describe my gratitude. I come to the Pacific Mall to clarify the truth whenever I have time. Many people come here and see our banners. I feel great no matter how tired I am.”
Wang would like to tell Master, “I won’t let down your expectation! I’m determined to cultivate myself diligently and offer salvation to more people.”
Ms. Gao wished Master a Happy New Year.
Ms. Gao was imprisoned for three years in China for practicing Falun Dafa, but she never thought about giving up her practice despite the severity of the persecution. “I used to have a serious stomach disease which my doctor said could turn into cancer. Within a month of practicing Falun Dafa, all my symptoms were gone. My spirit was uplifted as well. I often come here to tell people that Falun Dafa is great. Some people I talked to were touched. They wanted me to convey their greetings to Master.”

A young Chinese man offered to help hold the banner. He said that he moved to Canada with his family at age ten, and a practitioner helped him quit the Young Pioneers a few years ago. The practitioner told him the benefits of Falun Dafa and the facts of the persecution in China. The young man said, “I want to support you!” He helped hold a banner to spread the message to people passing by. He also bought a cup of coffee for each practitioner and insisted they accept his treat.
Ms. Xu, a medical professional, immigrated to Canada over twenty years ago. She said, “I used to be proud and aloof, and never participated in anything. I had a good job and good health, but I still felt that my life was empty. After reading the book Zhuan Falun, I realized it was what I had been looking for. I made up my mind to cultivate myself. Ever since then, my perspective on life and people has completely changed. I realized that my self-righteous kindness was selfish and wasn’t even close to the true Compassion Master taught us.”
Ms. Xu started clarifying the truth in front of the Chinese Consulate in 2015. “I know that’s where I can talk to a lot of Chinese people. I always go there no matter how bad the weather is.”
Ms. Xu expressed her deep gratitude to Master.
Tom, a new practitioner, said that he was bedridden due to his serious spondylitis when he was in China. At a friend’s recommendation, he learned the Falun Dafa exercises. “Even though I only did the exercises, my condition improved. After I came to Canada, I found practitioners at Pacific Mall and started reading Falun Dafa books. I became a happier person. My health has also obviously improved.”
Tom has quit drinking and smoking and no longer loses his temper easily. He said, “I learned that the meaning of life is to return to one’s true origin, and the only way to get there is to cultivate my character. I can’t wait to study the Fa every evening. Every study session brings me a new understanding of the Fa.”
Anan started practicing Falun Dafa in February this year. He used to suffer periarthritis of the shoulder, which was so painful that he couldn’t lift his left hand. He followed a friend’s advice to say, “Falun Dafa is great. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great.” Within a week, Anan’s hand stopped hurting and he could lift it. Ever since he started following Master’s teaching to look within, his relationships with others improved. His colleagues said he seemed to be a completely different person.
