(Minghui.org) On May 13, 1992, in his hometown of Changchun City, Jilin Province, Master Li Hongzhi first introduced Falun Dafa to the world. This ancient spiritual and meditation discipline spread quickly across the country and eventually all over the world, bringing health benefits and stress-relief to countless practitioners.

Since 2000, practitioners around the world have celebrated May 13 as World Falun Dafa Day to express their gratitude for the practice and introduce it to more people.

Given the ongoing persecution by the Chinese Communist Party, the practitioners in China can’t freely celebrate this occasion in public. Instead, many of them make greetings cards and send them to Minghui.org, to share their joy and appreciation with the world.

The following collection of greeting cards was received from practitioners who work in the field of education in China.

A retired teacher in his 60s in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province, wrote, “Dafa helps me understand the true meaning and purpose of my life. It is my greatest honor to have the chance to practice Dafa. Thank you, Master, for everything you’ve done!”

A married couple in Beijing, both of whom are teachers, said, “As teachers, we are deeply aware of our responsibility to guide our students to be good people and follow traditional values. Dafa’s values of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance inspire us to do better. We hope to introduce the practice to more students and we look forward to the day when the persecution ends.”
