Greetings from New Practitioners to Master Li

(Minghui.org) To celebrate the Chinese New Year, new Falun Dafa practitioners are gratified to share their experiences with Minghui. With utmost sincerity, they thank Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, and wish him a Happy Chinese New Year.

A Young Man’s Second Chance

One young man lives in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province. Like many Chinese, he was influenced by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) defamatory propaganda and made some very bad remarks about the practice three years ago. After that, he suddenly got ill and the doctors said that surgery might not be successful. Looking at his elderly parents, two young children, and tearful wife, the man, just in his 30s, was heartbroken. 

“Only Falun Dafa can save you now,” his wife said as she explained what the practice really is, which was quite different from how the CCP depicted it. In a bid to survive, the man decided to give it a try. “Surprisingly, my health improved quickly. It was so extraordinary that words cannot describe it,” he wrote in his greetings. 

But the story does not end there. From the Falun Dafa teachings and the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, the young man learned how to be a good person and to always be considerate of others. “Right now, I am able to return to work, happy and healthy,” he wrote. His relatives, friends, and coworkers were also impressed by his recovery. 

“At the Chinese New Year, my entire family and I sincerely thank Master Li and wish him a Happy New Year!” he wrote. 

A Couple and Lung Cancer

Jian and his wife Jie (pseudonyms) shared their adventure of the past two months. Before the suppression started in China in 1999, Jian had read Dafa books but did not actually practice Falun Dafa. 

In November 2021, he felt unwell and went to a hospital for all kinds of tests, which revealed that he had squamous cell lung cancer. The couple was devastated and felt as if the sky had fallen. Seeing that his condition was hopeless, Jian refused to follow the doctor’s recommendation for chemotherapy. After all, why waste money if he were to die soon anyway, he thought. 

His elder sister and brother-in-law, both having practiced Falun Dafa for over 20 years, did not want him to give up. They talked about many miracles that had happened to them and other practitioners and sent him Dafa books. They also suggested that Jian keep in mind the phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” 

“While reading the books and reciting the phrases, I could feel Master pulling me back to life—I am certain about that,” Jian wrote. As a result, he decided to visit his sister on January 7, 2022, and stay with her for a while to practice Falun Dafa. His wife was also supportive. “As my sister and brother-in-law opened the door, they were happy to see us but shocked by my condition: I was pale and skinny, hardly able to eat, shaking due to cold, and coughing a lot,” Jian recalled. 

That day, the four of them started to study two lectures in Zhuan Falun a day. For the exercises, because of Jian’s bad cough, he and Jie were taught the sitting meditation first. “What followed was amazing,” Jian explained. “My cough quickly got better and I vomited some white substance. I knew Master was purifying my body. As I improved day by day, I was able to eat and sleep well. I was thrilled!

“During my stay at my sister’s, I witnessed how Falun Dafa could make a family harmonious with everyone caring for each other,” Jian wrote. “Right now, my wife and I have regained hope, and we are so grateful that Master has shown us a path to return to our true home.”

90-Year-Old: I Am So Fortunate

A 90-year-old woman in Yantai City, Shandong Province, wrote, “Thanks to Falun Dafa, an illiterate person like me is able to learn how to be a better citizen through the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. By listening to Master Li’s audio lectures, I also came to understand that we come to this world not for pleasure but to constantly improve ourselves and return to our origin.

“Although I am already 90, my hearing and eyesight are great. People say my complexion is even better than some young people’s.” 

Her children and grandchildren have all witnessed Dafa’s miracles, and they are very supportive. “I will surely cherish this opportunity to practice Falun Dafa and do well on the remaining cultivation path,” she wrote. 

Being a Good Person

An 84-year-old man from Shandong Province said he began to read Zhuan Falun two years ago. “I am not well educated, but I can tell good from bad,” he explained. “The teachings tell us to be good people by improving our character. I couldn’t agree more. To me, this book is like something from the divine that guides us to return.”

He also improved physically. “As I continued reading the book, I noticed my skin was somehow renewed. Now I am healthier than ever and I am so happy to know Falun Dafa.”

A Young Man No Longer Lost in the Maze

One young man from Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, started to practice about a year ago. Having witnessed the chaos and problems in society, he was glad to find out about Falun Dafa. “It was Master who has saved me from my corrupt past, explained to me the purpose of life, and guided me along the way,” he wrote. 

“With the practice having been suppressed in China for the past 23 years, the opportunity to practice Falun Dafa is even more precious. I will remain diligent about aligning myself with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and tell others the facts about the practice, so that they can benefit from it, too. Thank you, Master, and Happy Chinese New Year!” he wrote.
