(Minghui.org) A meeting was held at the Tianti Bookstore in Seoul on March 19, 2023 to read the latest article written by Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa. After reading “How Mankind Came To Be” which was published on Minghui in January 2023, the participants shared their thoughts.
About 20 people attended the meeting that day. Most of them had already read Falun Dafa’s main book, Zhuan Falun, or attended the 9-day Falun Dafa Workshop which was held every month at the bookstore. They came from different backgrounds, but all sought the meaning of life.
Participants at a meeting held on March 19, 2023 at Tainti Bookstore in Seoul read, “How Mankind Came To Be,” Mr. Li Hongzhi’s latest publication.
Ms. Hyunjeon Hong said that reading “How Mankind Came To Be” can help people be kind to others.
Ms. Hyunjeon Hong from Dongducheon City participated in the meeting because of her husband. “I am moved by my husband’s positive changes after he began practicing Falun Dafa 19 years ago,” she said. “He became a different person.” She explained that her husband used to be so ill-tempered that no one could do anything about him. He never went shopping with her, or went on family vacations. The family lived under the shadow of his irritable personality and she often wept. They tried to solve the problem by practicing some religions, to no avail.
After he began reading Zhuan Falun, she said that her husband became an honest, kind, and considerate person. He also quit drinking and smoking. He got up every morning to do the exercises for a couple of hours. His improvement and perseverance touched her. She began to wonder what changed him.
Her husband recommended that she read Zhuan Falun, and she did. She then understood that her husband followed Mr. Li’s teachings and tried to be a kind person. She thanked Mr. Li for her husband’s changes.
After reading Mr. Li’s latest article, she said that it pointed out that people must be kind. “We should respect divine beings and help one another. The article can guide people to return to their kind nature. I kept reading it and tried to memorize it.”
Mr. Yoonhee Lee
Mr. Yoonhee Lee from Seongnam City received a Falun Dafa flier a few years ago. He was interested in the popular practice and joined the 9-day Falun Dafa workshop. He got busy and did not finish the course, so he wanted to come back.
He took the first step by joining the book study. “After reading the article, I felt that it conveys a profound principle. It inspired me to practice Falun Dafa,” he said.

Mr. Hee-dong Kim from Songpa District said that reading the article with others helped him focus better. After reading the article he said, “The older generations always reiterated that people must be virtuous and do good deeds and share. The article talks about it as well.”
Ms. Zhang Shu, the host of the book study and the Tianti Bookstore manager, said that the article answered many of her questions. “I realized that the article could bring people hope, and so I wanted to share the content with more people, which motivated me to host this study session,” she said.
